Liqua-Roof is an innovative alternative to conventional roof paints, coatings and sealers for asphalt shingles and flat roofs. Instead of a film-forming coating or sealer that will eventually wear down and require re-application, we resurface and rebuild your roof with a new, high-build granule layer, delivering unmatched durability and long-term protection that even outperforms new shingles at a fraction of the cost.

- White, reflective coatings that are typically used for flat or low-slope roofs and metal surfaces, often in commercial or industrial settings.
- Applied onto mod-bit, TPO, PVC, EPDM
- Help seal cracks, enhance waterproofing, and increase surface reflectivity on flat roof systems.
- Includes acrylic elastomeric coatings, silicone coatings, polyurethane coatings, and bitumen/asphalt emulsion coatings. Learn more about the different types of roof paints and coatings.
- Requires re-application as the the film will eventually wear off, unlike Liqua-Roof Flat, our roof resurfacing system for flat roofs.
- Not meant for asphalt shingles
- Applied in residential settings, ceramic resin coatings are essentially paints with “nano-ceramic” particles or ceramic dust suspended in a resin or binder.
- Compared to oil-based rejuvenators, they offer slightly improved impact resistance thanks to the ceramic additive.
- They remain a relatively thin-film coating and do not add granules or rebuild the shingle’s protective layer in the way Liqua-Roof's resurfacing system does.
- Applied in residential settings on asphalt shingle roofs, roof or shingle rejuvenators differ slightly from traditional coatings and sealers as they are oil-based products that penetrate shingles.
- Rejuvenators restore lost oils in aging or curling shingles. They help prevent cracking and improve flexibility.
- Rejuvenators tend to run off over time and require re-application every 2-5 years
- They do not restore lost granules or provide comprehensive shingle protection and impact resistance.

Roof paints can extend roof life but don’t address granule loss once it has occurred. Liqua-Roof not only protects and prolongs your roof’s lifespan but also adds a high-build layer of multi-colored granules, providing long-lasting protection and a natural, dimensional appearance, just like brand-new shingles. In contrast, roof paints typically leave a flat, one-dimensional finish that looks noticeably repainted and requires reapplication.
Compared to basic oil rejuvenators, nanoparticle or advanced resin-based formulas penetrate a little deeper into the shingle, so they are slightly less likely to run off and therefore, should last a little longer. While these treatments replenish lost oils to delay cracking, even they fall short of addressing the root issue: granule loss. In the end, they’re still buying you time, not solving the problem. Liqua-Roof, on the other hand, actively replaces and reinforces that protective layer by bonding additional granules to the roof’s surface. The result? A fortified roof that doesn’t just delay replacement—it makes it unnecessary.
Yes, Liqua-Roof can be applied to flat roofs with a slight modification. Since flat roofs are more prone to water pooling, we add an extra waterproofing layer (our proprietary resin blend without granules) before applying the granulated topcoat. This creates a thicker, more water-resistant version of our standard resurfacing system while still delivering the same protective, granulated finish.
No—Liqua-Roof is not a paint. Its color comes from pigmented granules, not a surface coating. Like those used in new shingles, these granules are naturally fade-resistant. For added protection, each granule is encapsulated in a UV-resistant resin, further shielding them from sun exposure.
No. Liqua-Roof exceeds ASTM D6803 standards for roof coating adhesion by over 200%—bonding at more than 5 pounds, well above the required minimum. But just for added peace of mind for our customers, all projects are backed with a 15-year no-peel warranty.
