What Is Acrylic Roof Coating?
An acrylic roof coating is a water-based, elastomeric liquid membrane applied directly over an existing commercial roof to seal, protect, and restore its surface. Once cured, it forms a seamless, reflective barrier that shields your building from UV rays, rainfall, ponding water, and Atlanta’s intense summer heat. As a leading roofing company in Atlanta, GA, we’ve used acrylic systems for decades to extend the service life of TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal, and built-up roofs across the metro area.
Acrylic roof coatings are particularly valued for their bright white, highly reflective finish, which lowers rooftop temperatures and reduces interior cooling loads. They’re cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and qualify many buildings for ENERGY STAR and cool-roof credits. For Atlanta business owners weighing repair against full replacement, acrylic coating often delivers the longest return on investment.
Beyond reflectivity, acrylic roof coatings provide a durable, monolithic waterproofing layer that fills hairline cracks, seals seams, and bonds to flashings, vents, and HVAC curbs. The coating cures into a flexible film that expands and contracts with your roof through Atlanta’s humid summers and occasional freezes, preventing the splits and pinholes that lead to interior leaks.
Most acrylic systems require a clean, primed surface and are typically applied in two coats with reinforcing fabric at seams and penetrations. When professionally installed by our crews at Atlanta Roofing Specialists, an acrylic coating system can extend the usable life of your commercial roof by 10 to 15 years and may qualify for renewable manufacturer warranties. As part of our commercial roofing service line, acrylic coatings are an ideal alternative to a full tear-off, particularly for property managers operating on tight capital budgets.

Benefits of Acrylic Coating Systems
Atlanta property owners choose acrylic coatings for measurable, long-term value. The reflective white surface can lower rooftop temperatures by up to 50°F on peak summer days, directly reducing HVAC demand and monthly energy bills. Because acrylic is water-based, it’s low-VOC, easy to clean up, and safe for occupied buildings, schools, and medical facilities. Application is non-disruptive, requiring no tear-off, no dumpsters, and minimal noise compared to a full replacement.
The seamless membrane eliminates the leak-prone seams found on aging single-ply and modified bitumen systems, while the elastomeric finish resists hail impact, wind uplift, and minor foot traffic. As trusted Atlanta roofing experts, we also pair acrylic coatings with our commercial roof repair and roof systems services, giving you a complete restoration solution backed by our up-to-25-year workmanship warranty.

Our Acrylic Coating Process
Every acrylic roof coating project at Atlanta Roofing Specialists begins with a thorough on-site inspection, often supported by drone imaging, to evaluate the substrate, identify ponding areas, and document existing damage. Our specialized commercial crew then power-washes the roof, addresses any necessary commercial roof repairs, and reinforces seams, penetrations, and flashings with polyester fabric embedded in the base coat.
We apply the manufacturer-specified primer, followed by two full coats of acrylic at the proper mileage to meet warranty requirements. As your trusted roofing company, we coordinate scheduling around your business operations, keep job sites clean, and document each phase for warranty registration. Once cured, your new coating is inspected for uniform thickness and adhesion before final sign-off. The result is a fully restored, reflective, watertight roof system delivered with the hand-nailed perfection Atlanta Roofing Specialists has been known for since 1993.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an acrylic roof coating last?
A professionally installed acrylic coating system in Atlanta typically lasts 10 to 15 years, with many manufacturer warranties renewable through periodic recoating. Lifespan depends on substrate condition, coating thickness, and proper surface prep at installation.
Can acrylic coating be applied over my existing commercial roof?
Yes. Acrylic systems are designed for restoration and bond well to TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal, and built-up roofs, provided the substrate is structurally sound, dry, and properly cleaned. Our team evaluates each roof during a free inspection.
Is acrylic roof coating energy-efficient?
Absolutely. Acrylic coatings are bright white and highly reflective, often qualifying for ENERGY STAR and cool-roof ratings. Many Atlanta property owners see reduced cooling costs after application, especially on flat or low-slope buildings exposed to full Georgia sun.
Does acrylic coating stop leaks?
When applied over a properly prepared surface with reinforced seams, acrylic creates a seamless, waterproof membrane that effectively seals minor cracks, splits, and pinholes. Active leaks and structural issues should be repaired before coating to ensure long-term performance.
How much does acrylic roof coating cost in Atlanta?
Pricing varies by roof size, condition, and required prep work. Acrylic coating is generally far less expensive than a full commercial roof replacement and typically delivers strong ROI through energy savings and extended service life.

Do you offer warranties on acrylic coating systems?
Yes. We offer manufacturer material warranties and back our installations with the ARS workmanship guarantee, giving Metro Atlanta commercial property owners complete peace of mind.

What Our Clients Say About ARS!
– Pam Baughman
From start to finish, I felt great about my decision to contact ARS. Mark really was clearly the thoughtful and experienced roofer from which I received a quote. He was the only one to recommend a standard skylight size for my replacements. The price was very fair and the quality of the hand-nailed roof was A+. They made a lot of repairs to my old roof and came back to fix some purely aesthetic work. I would highly recommend.
