Membrane Roof Coating Systems in Fort Wayne & South Bend, IN

Seal, Protect, and Extend the Life of Your Membrane Roof

Tri-County Commercial Roofing provides expert membrane roof coating systems for commercial buildings throughout Fort Wayne, South Bend, and surrounding communities. Our coating systems are designed specifically for single-ply membrane roofs to stop leaks, restore waterproofing performance, and extend roof life by 10–20 years, without the cost and disruption of full replacement.

Single-ply membrane roofs such as TPO, EPDM, and PVC face ongoing exposure to UV rays, temperature cycling, seam fatigue, and surface degradation. Our membrane roof coating systems restore and protect these roofing membranes by creating a seamless, flexible barrier that reinforces weak points and preserves long-term performance.

Why Membrane Roof Coating Systems Make Sense for Commercial Buildings

Commercial property owners across Fort Wayne and South Bend choose membrane roof coating systems because they solve common membrane roof issues while maximizing the value of the existing roof system.

Membrane Roof Coating System Fort Wayne, IN
N

Stops Membrane Leaks

Membrane roof coatings create a seamless, monolithic surface that eliminates exposed seams, cracks, and vulnerabilities where water intrusion typically occurs. Existing leaks are sealed, and future failures are prevented.

N

Restores Aging Membranes

Over time, membrane roofs lose flexibility and protective properties. Coating systems restore elasticity, protect against further deterioration, and reinforce the membrane without removal.

N

Protects Against UV Damage

Constant UV exposure breaks down single-ply membranes. Reflective membrane coatings shield the roof from UV degradation while helping reduce heat buildup and cooling demand.

N

Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement:

Membrane roof coating systems typically cost 50–70% less than complete replacement, delivering long-term protection without tearing off the existing roof.

N

Minimal Operational Disruption

Because the existing membrane stays in place, coating installation is faster and far less invasive than replacement—allowing your business to remain operational.

N

Energy Efficiency Benefits

Reflective membrane coatings reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs during Indiana’s summer months. Many buildings experience 15–30% reductions in cooling expenses.

N

Renewable Roofing Solution

When the system reaches the end of its coating life, a simple recoat renews protection—often multiple times—eliminating repeated tear-offs and landfill waste.

N

Low Maintenance Performance

Properly applied membrane coating systems resist dirt and discoloration, maintaining reflectivity and performance with minimal maintenance.

The Conklin Membrane Roof Coating System

Tri-County Commercial Roofing proudly installs the Conklin Membrane Roof Coating System, a proven solution specifically engineered to restore and protect single-ply membrane roofs including TPO, EPDM, and PVC.

N

Advanced Membrane Restoration

Conklin’s elastomeric coating technology provides a cost-effective method for repairing, sealing, and preserving aging membrane roofs. Rather than replacing a worn membrane, the system restores waterproofing performance and flexibility.

N

Proven Energy Efficiency

Conklin’s highly reflective white systems have delivered energy savings to commercial buildings since 1977. Many Fort Wayne and South Bend property owners recover a portion of their investment through reduced cooling costs, and recoating may qualify as a deductible maintenance expense.

N

Extended Service Life

The system significantly extends the usable life of membrane roofs by protecting against UV exposure, thermal movement, and surface deterioration. Dirt-resistant surfaces help maintain reflectivity and efficiency year after year.

N

Renewable Protection

When renewal is required, recoating restores full protection without removing the membrane. Multiple recoats are possible, extending roof life for decades.

N

Warranty Options

Conklin offers optional limited 18-year non-prorated material warranties, subject to approval, along with manufacturer-backed labor and material warranty options.

Membrane Roof Coating Systems We Use

We select coating systems based on membrane type, roof condition, and performance requirements.

Acrylic Elastomeric Coatings

Ideal for restoring TPO, EPDM, and PVC membranes. These coatings offer excellent reflectivity, flexibility, and cost-effective performance. Conklin acrylic systems are specifically engineered for membrane compatibility.

Silicone Coatings

Used selectively on membrane roofs where ponding water or extended moisture exposure is present, offering superior water resistance and UV stability.

Elastomeric Reinforced Systems

 Highly flexible coatings designed to move with membrane roofs during temperature swings, preventing cracking and seam failure.

Our Membrane Roof Coating Installation Process

We follow proven procedures to ensure long-term performance of every membrane roof coating system we install.

Step 1
Comprehensive Roof Evaluation

We inspect membrane condition, seams, penetrations, drainage, and overall roof integrity to determine system suitability.

Step 2
Surface Preparation

The membrane is thoroughly cleaned using specialized cleaners such as WAC II™ to remove contaminants without damaging the surface.

Step 3
Repairs and Detailing

Damaged membrane areas, seams, penetrations, and flashing details are repaired and reinforced before coating begins.

Step 4
Primer Application

Membrane-specific primers such as Tack Coat™ are applied to promote optimal adhesion.

Step 5
Seam Reinforcement

Seams and vulnerable areas are reinforced with Spunflex® fabric embedded into the base coat to prevent future failures.

Step 6
Coating Application

Multiple layers of approved membrane coatings are applied at specified thickness to form a seamless, waterproof protective membrane.

Step 7
Final Quality Inspection

Coverage, thickness, and detailing are verified to ensure system performance meets manufacturer and company standards.
