Commercial Roof Coating in Central New York
Conklin acrylic, silicone, and elastomeric coating systems that stop leaks, reflect heat, and add 10–18 years of renewable warranty to flat and low-slope commercial roofs across Central New York, for 50–70% less than a full tear-off.

What It Is
Renew the Roof Instead of Replacing It
Commercial roof coating is a fluid-applied, fully adhered membrane — acrylic, silicone, or elastomeric — sprayed or rolled directly over an existing low-slope roof. It seals every seam, lap, fastener, and penetration into one continuous, reflective, waterproof surface, with no tear-off, no landfill waste, and no interruption to building operations.
The system bonds to nearly any commercial assembly — EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and metal — and as an Energy Star and CRRC-rated cool roof it restores a leaking roof to like-new performance while trimming summer cooling load across the Mohawk Valley, at a fraction of replacement cost.
- Stops active leaks and ponding-water damage
- Reflective "cool roof" that lowers cooling costs
- Renewable manufacturer warranty (10, 15, or 18 years)
- Installed over the existing roof — zero disruption
Why Coat a Commercial Roof
The Smart Alternative to Replacement
Coating is not a patch. It is a complete restoration system engineered to protect a commercial roof asset and defer capital replacement by 10 to 20 years, often re-coatable and re-warrantable after that.
In Central New York, that matters. Heavy snow loads, standing meltwater, and relentless freeze-thaw cycles open seams and fasteners on flat and low-slope roofs every winter. A fully adhered coating eliminates those vulnerable seams, sheds water, and is frequently expensed as maintenance rather than capitalized as a major improvement — a meaningful difference for commercial budgets.
Save 50–70%
A coating system costs a fraction of a full tear-off and replacement.
Lower Energy Bills
Reflective coatings cut roof surface temps and cooling costs all summer.
Renewable Warranty
Conklin-backed warranties of 10, 15, or 18 years — and renewable after.
No Tear-Off
Installed over the existing roof — nothing goes to the landfill.
Zero Disruption
Tenants and operations keep running during installation.
Extends Roof Life
Adds decades of watertight protection to the existing roof.
What We Install
Conklin Coating Systems We Install
As an 8-time Conklin Preferred Contractor, Mohawk Valley Roofing matches the right American-made system to each roof — acrylic, silicone, or elastomeric — based on slope, drainage, and existing membrane, never a one-size-fits-all upsell.
Silicone Coating Systems
Unmatched ponding-water resistance for flat roofs that hold water.
Acrylic Coating Systems
Bright, reflective, cost-effective protection for sloped low-slope roofs.
Elastomeric Coatings
Flexible, weather-tough membranes that expand and contract with the roof through the region’s freeze-thaw cycles.
How It Works
Our Coating Process
STEP 01
Free Inspection
Eli or Simon inspects the roof in person and provides a written condition report.
STEP 02
Clean & Prep
The roof is power-washed, seams are repaired, and the surface is primed — coatings last only when preparation is done right.
STEP 03
Apply the System
A trained crew applies the fully adhered, continuous Conklin coating system to manufacturer specification.
STEP 04
Inspect & Warranty
The completed system is documented and inspected to activate the renewable manufacturer warranty.
Why Mohawk Valley
8-Time Conklin Preferred Contractor
A coating delivers decades of protection only when it is installed correctly — proper mil thickness, a cleaned and primed surface, and every seam reinforced. Mohawk Valley Roofing has earned Conklin’s Preferred Contractor designation eight separate times by meeting that standard on every project since 2013 — owner Eli Byler personally inspects each roof before work begins, crews are factory-trained and manufacturer-certified, and every completed system is documented and inspected to activate its renewable Conklin warranty.
Based in Little Falls, the team serves commercial properties across Central New York and the greater Mohawk Valley — Utica, Rome, Herkimer, Syracuse, Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, Cooperstown, and Oneonta — staying local for warranty support and recoats for the life of the roof.

FAQ
Everything to Know About Commercial Roof Coating
Straight answers about coating systems, warranties, and what to expect — from the team that installs and stands behind every roof.
How long does a commercial roof coating last?
A properly installed Conklin coating system carries a 10, 15, or 18-year manufacturer warranty, and it is renewable. When the term ends, the roof can be recoated to extend protection rather than ever requiring another tear-off — a single coated roof can be maintained for 30-plus years.
Will a coating stop an active roof leak?
Yes. The system is fully adhered and continuous, sealing every seam, lap, fastener, and penetration. Problem areas are repaired and reinforced during prep, then the entire roof — EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, or metal — is encapsulated in a watertight acrylic, silicone, or elastomeric membrane.
Is coating cheaper than replacing the roof?
Significantly. A coating restoration typically costs 50–70% less than a full tear-off and replacement, avoids landfill disposal fees, and can often be expensed as maintenance rather than capitalized as an improvement — a real advantage for Central New York facility budgets.
Can any commercial roof be coated?
Most low-slope and flat roofs — EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and metal — are strong candidates. Suitability depends on the condition of the existing membrane and deck, which is confirmed during an on-site inspection. If a roof cannot be restored, Mohawk Valley advises replacement directly.
Does installation require shutting down building operations?
No. Conklin coatings are applied from the roof with no tear-off, so there is no interior debris, no insulation removal, and no interruption to tenants or operations — ideal for occupied warehouses, retail, medical, and municipal buildings across the Mohawk Valley.
