nothing like getting home after a day of work to see others working ha.)
Finally! Someone who knows what they are talking about and shows you how to actually use the product the proper way. Much thanks for making this video. I fixed a restaurant roof for a friend once (after a roof expert fixed it & it began leaking again after a week) with a similar, but thinner elastopolymer type stuff. It looked & spread a lil thicker than paint but the roof has not leaked for over a year now. I bet this stuff will last MUCH longer than the stuff I used. ;-)
Very very professional thank you
Hi! I dig this new product! Looks like it really helps to fix a leak or "tear". Thus I'm frightened here at what you guys did. Did you just power wash a leaking roof?
Great video very helpful!
A long handle scarper sure saves the back.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
I add 6 quarts of fine sand to a 5 gallon bucket of the white siliconized roof coating (Black Jack) and have experienced excellent results when applied to metal and shingled roofs.
@@youtubecensorship646 It will let you roll on a thick coat and it resists weathering so much better.
@@youtubecensorship646 I take 5 gallons of roof coating and pour it into 2 empty 5 gallon buckets so that I end up with 3 buckets that have an equal amount of roof coating then I add 2 quarts of sand to each bucket. I apply 2 coats a day apart and add powdered mortar color to the final coat.
@@youtubecensorship646 I use a Wooster Wool Roller Cover 1-1/2-Inch Nap and suggest that is the best to get the job done faster because you can really load it up. It will get matted down and I give it a good spin to fluff it up when that happens. I dip the roller in the 5 gal. bucket to load it up and clean it real good when done with soap and hot water. Mine has lasted for many years and many projects.
Excellent video!
How much sq footage do you get on a 5 gal gal?
Not a fan of elastomerics but for some roofs that don't really need to extend their service life i guess it is an OK fix. Our roofing company has used pretty much everything out there over the last 25 years. We use only one products after 8 years of success and not callbacks. There is a Liquid butyl rubber made by epdmcoatings. What we like about it is that it does not need a primer for any of the roof types we have applied it over that goes for metal, BUR, epdm, foam but NOT silicone. also it is a one coat application so we close much more business with this product because we come in as the lowest bid! It is a solvent product so primarily the reason it last all the years. Cheers
Where do I find that liquid you’re referring to??
This is Awesome!!
what is the name of the fabrics that you put between coatings? :)
thank you for sharing
Quite interesting. Who manufactures this coating?
Can this be used as Heat insulation
If this product is placed on a sloping roof is fabric mesh required? I guess if the roof is more horizontal then the fabric mesh will prolong the life of the product. Also can the fabric mesh interfere with vapor permeability?
Very thorough. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
is this available in the uK
Thanks for the information. Is this a global product of only in the U.S.?We have some similar looking products in the U.K but they might be acrylic. Is acrylic good enough or should I be looking for something better?
+Skill Builder - It depends on what you are in need of? Traditional acrylics are not for waterproofing but rather they are for heat emittance and reflectivity. The SureCoat roof coating is a hybrid coating and for waterproofing as well as heat emittance and reflectivity. To-date, SureCoat surpasses all acrylics on the market after in service for three years on the roof, as it remains free from cracks, splits and tears. We have acrylic videos on this channel so you can see what an acrylic coated roof looks like after 18 months-3 years. Everyone we have inspected is in bad shape because low-sloped roofs have little ponds and it causes the acrylic coatings to peel and crack open. Acrylics have too high of a perm rating for low-sloped roofing.
Elastomeric is the best
Hi are you applying a fiber glass mesh on top of an existing torch applied membrane roof deck? What are you applying? Is this polyurethane?🤔
Would this work on a metal Mobil Home roof ?
What kind of fabric is that you lay down?
Hello mister what kind of material do you using? Do you have the name all materials?
I like how you guys stop likings
great video!
+Earl Yurivilca - Thank you! Let us know if we can answer any questions for you.
Where would I be able to get the membrain that you used?? I've looked at Lowes, Home Depot, even ABC Home Supply. All I have come up with are about 2 - 2 1/2 inch rolls.
tie-tex 272 look online
What's the warranty on this ? Also, will insurance companies then treat this as a "new" roof ?
Mine was a metal roof and I used a roller a month later water was still getting inside so I decided to use a brush took forever to coat, several days vs one day but I was able to get into all the little cracks that the roller wasn't able to get into. I noticed that the roller missed a lot of cracks and it explains why water was still getting in
Would recommend spraying one coat let it cure for 24 hours and apply a 2nd coat. That will save you a shit ton of time and headache it will also get into all the little cracks
Thank you for your feedback, our recommendations for a metal roof application would be to use a sprayer if possible.
Does this come in different colors?
Good work
When I saw the white new balances I knew this was gonna be good
Glad you liked it

what is the name of the roofing mesh?
Use A leaf Blower to Blow Dry the Water after De-Greasing.
Hi, I have a hotel that had a new roof put on less than five years ago...I belive it is one of those vinyl type...it's leaking every where they have air units and in some seams...can I go over that kind of roof with this product?
+brofun Yes you can use the 4" or 6" poly mesh and embed it in the coating at seams. Then use the wider fabric around your HVAC units curbs. That is typical with single ply membranes. They dry out and start to separate at seams and flashings at 6-8 yrs. Yours happened a little early.
brofun fk no. Get me a plane ticket and I'll come weld that s***
You better make sure that there is no moisture or water under that membrane. Coating over it will only trap the moisture in and cause failure of the substrate, blistering, and potentially more seam failures due to flexing at the joints. Someone should moisture test that roof first and then decide if it is a candidate for re-coating or repairs. Unfortunately, by the time the water works through the system and shows up as a leak, it is already to late. Re-coating or installing anything over a wet roof is a waste of money. I have done many, never one that is wet. danjmbat@gmail.com
Can you use this product to repair blisters before you apply the fabric?
Blisters should be cut and area repaired using SureCoat and poly-mesh
'theyuha' brought up a good question, what is thee fire rating? I seen you mention in the comments that you have various of colors. I live in Miami where it rains and rains plus it is always scorching hot. Black wouldnt be an ideal color for where I live right? Can it be used on thee whole roof?
SureCoat has a Class A over an existing roof. In Florida most customers use standard bright white (least expensive) or a light tan or gray color but yes, the coating is available in 25 colors. Please email us at info@surecoatsystems.com to request a color chart and pricing or call 877-823-7873. Thank you!
Journey Is The W
@ Journey Is The Way - The fire rating is as good as it gets with a Class A. There are 25 colors available for a topcoat if white is not desired. 0The darker the color, the lower the solar reflectivity. Your are correct in that black is the worst for where you are. We do not make it in black. Bright white is the best. SureCoat is the best white roof coating because it not only reflects UV but also keeps 93% of the heat out of your building. Yes SureCoat be used on the entire roof and more often than not it is used to refinish the whole roof. This system is very popular because it lasts for 10 years and it is waterproof in ponding area. There is nothing else for flat and low-slope roofing which actually performs under ponding water so SureCoat seems to be very common there in FL. Please feel free to reach out to us (ask for Monique) at 877-823-7873 for more info or a quote on materials delivered.

how did your product and past jobs hold up to all the rain California has been getting?
Our product has held up quite well, some of our customers used our rapid drying product SureSet the day before the rain and have no problems
Just use 1 roll of torch down overlay on that section is easier and better
I have a residential porch roof that is leaking in NJ. 4 seasons. Is this a good product? There is a dip where water does puddle for a couple of day's in the cold weather. How long will this product last? Can it be walked on?
+lou ezzie - Whether or not this is the right waterproofing system depends on the existing material on the porch. If its asphalt or wood, yes. If there is an existing coating over concrete, then we would need to talk about it. Yes it will work in NJ as it is made to take on extreme freeze-thaw conditions without becoming brittle. However, you can not do the application until the weather is good. It should last 10 years before requiring a maintenance coat. We recommend adding silica sand for slip resistance in traffic areas but yes it can be walked on. Please call Monique at 877-823-7873 for pricing and to see if we have a contractor in So Jersey as per your online request. Thank you for your interest and questions.
I recomend to Always Use Base Primer, and Embed the Polyester in between layers with Base Primer, Dries Quicker and then Apply The Coating.... I LEARNED to ONLY Use Silicone VS Acrilic Base...on any Restoration! Good Luck People!
I think that guy scraping should be wearing gloves for when a piece of the asphalt works it way up to his hand it going hurt and probably cut him. Good video and well informative. Thanks
5:05 What is the name of that roll of fabric? Can you tell me brand name & model number of that fabric? Thanks
can I install floor tiles after waterproofing the area. what type of tile adhesive will i use?
Please give us a call to discuss this project, there are a few things we'd like to ask you.
very informative... i too was a waterproofing applicator back here in the flips.. i use the same system.. thanks for sharing and more power
Not the material itself... but the system.. base coat, fiber glass then top coat.
haha no problemo... we use torch applied membranes over roof decks, cementitious by crystallization, epoxy tank lining, epoxy floor coating, fiber glass reinforced elastomeric coating, above and below grade substrates..
We use locally manufactured matls namely boysen, davies and cambridge except the asphalt membrane which is imported from abroad.
Im here in Metro Manila, Philippines.
Do you have a system of building up a low area to eliminate ponding
You do not need to build up the area as our coating will stand up to ponding water, but you can use our coating as a flood coat or a rapid setting concrete product.
Does the screen fabric type matter or can it be any screen such as a house hold window screen made of fiberglass or nylon?
The Poly-mesh is a proprietary blend that has been tested with our coating. It is not recommended to use any other mesh with our system as we can not guarantee its strength
Most polyester mats are close to the same. Some softer some more rigid. Pretty much all the same. I've been doing cold applied products for over 25 years.
We even designed our own spray equipment that out performs the spray equipment most roofers use to spray coatings.
Can i use this on a plywood deck in a boat? then apply a carpet on top of it?
Good morning Bradley, The SureCoat Roof System as shown in this short video can and will adhere and waterproof the plywood deck of your boat. However, we would not recommend that you apply the SCRS direct to the plywood because even reinforced with the Poly-Mesh (which a 2800 psi tensile strength) the expansion and contraction at the joints in the wood deck are a concern as it may cause the SCRS to tear/split st some point. We always recommend a "slip sheet" of sorts such as the cheapest peel and stick granulated cap over the plywood and then the SCRS. Please call us at 877-823-7873 to discuss further or for a quote. Thank you! - Jamie Barnett

+Abdulati Salem - Please email me at jamie@surecoatsystems.com. I can send you information through email.
I'm about to replace the current existing roof with a new energy star roof using energy star asphalt shingles. I want to apply Elastomeric roof coating over the shingles,but that is not recommended by Wikipedia,and multiples web sites. Some home owners had that done because in Miami Florida Power had paid to have this done on certain houses to lower their energy bill,but years later the homeowners found out that elastomeric coating applied over shingles shortens the life of the roof instead of extending the life of the roof. So my question is when using energy star asphalt shingles can the Elastomeric roof coating be applied to the underlayment, or on top of the roof deck before the shingles are applied? If so since the Elastomeric coating would be underneath the energy star shingles would there be any benefit in making the roof more energy efficient in terms of lowering the power bill like using roofing insulation will?
@ Sam Enigma, No applying SureCoat or any other elastomeric reflective coating for that matter, beneath the shingles will not provide any R value as insulation does.
However, SureCoat would add a waterproofing membrane under the shingles by doing this but not energy savings. I hadn't heard that coatings can shorten the life of the shingles. How are they explaining that this is happening and determining that the premature failures of the shingles are due to the elastomeric coating application? The only thing that comes to mind is that shingle are suppose to stay breathable in a sense and perhaps the coatings used in Florida were contributing to trapped moisture which in turn can create mold issues and eventually substrate rot in a wood or metal deck...?
I would be grateful for any factual/case study links that you could send me. Be careful not to accept "blogs" as facts when it comes to tips, DIY, etc. There is a lot of information online but its not all true. A lot of what roofers and manufacturers write about is filler stuff for their website. Here, we provide educational info as well as cutting edge waterproofing technology.
Thank you and Good Luck! Reach out to info@surecoatsystems.com with any questions or concerns.
SureCoat Systems, Good response.

Yes this will work on all substrates with the exception of silicone. The roll you are referring to is a proprietary poly-mesh used in conjunction with our roof coating.
I'm sure you are just protecting an area with ponding water?
But if this area had a active leak, how would you clean it?
I don't think a pressure washer would be the best option in a area of a leak?
We would still clean area using a bucket or hose - be sure substrate being coated is in sound condition, if not replace or repair any areas prior to coating.
@@Surecoatsystems
This is why I'm not convinced that your system is the best option. If the area has to be scrubbed this hard and has to be dry to apply coating
I'd say best to just torch down and don't worry for many years
I'm honestly concerned about elastomeric over tar, every time I've seen this done it causes the coating to prematurely age and either crack and separate or completely delaminate and come off. No base or primer.... so now I'm curious what the warranty would be on this? Yikes.
@Detu Maki, As with most surfaces prior to coating/painting, prep is key. Especially over tar, metal or single-ply roofing materials. SureCoat was created because of the common mastic, acrylic and silicone coating failures that plagued the industry, delamination and leaks! Since before cool roofs were cool, roofers and consumers alike have been attempting to use coatings to solve roofing problems and water intrusion issues they were never intended for and this is based stickily on their chemistry (not what the salesman or distributor tells you). I have a Definitions Key that I can share with you if you would like a list of what properties to look for in a coating. (You will find this info on the PDS - not the brochure.) The SureCoat roof coating system used in this video includes cleaning the roofing material with SureSkrub, a bio degradable roof detergent, tough enough to cut thru the grease on restaurant roofs. SureCoat has excellent adhesion without a primer. We have not had a roof where SurePrime was required for the seven years I have been here. If cleaning is not possible, SurePrime may be an option. The resins for adhesion are manufactured into the SureCoat single-component coating and is combined with cross linkers that change the molecular structure of the coating; creating a cross-hatched pattern too small for vapor moisture to permeate and hook-like teeth to bite into the roof surface, increasing the tenacity of it's adhesion compared traditional roof coatings, paints and mastics. Lack of UV stability and waterproofing ability are the two key factors that cause roof paints, coatings and mastics to fail prematurely.
Furthermore, not all coatings are the same in their chemistry and resins, grades of resins, etc. and therefore not one coating can fix all things roofing... Many are only maintenance coatings that you can expect to peel up every other year at max.
SureCoat has been being successfully used over tar, gravel, metal, slippery single-ply and other surfaces without delamination in climates all over the world. I am happy to send you an adhesion test kit which includes the SK roof cleaner as well as a small bottle of the SureCoat roof coating and a strip of Poly-Mesh to test the adhesion of this system over your roof. Depending on where you are located, you may have to wait until Spring to be able to test the single-component original formula used in this video. (We do have an alternative coating for waterproofing in temperatures as low as 40 degrees.)
As with most coating and paint manufacturers, there is a material defect warranty of 1 year. If you would like the security of a 10-20 year renewable leak-free guarantee, or in the case of a SureCoat Roof System Warranty, a guarantee that covers leaks even if there is ponding water on your roof for 10-20 years, the SureCoat Roof System must be installed by a SureCoat Seamless Single-Ply Approved Contractor to specification in conjunction with the warranty checklist requirements.
Feel free to reach out to Jamie@surecoatsystems.com for more information, samples or further questions. TY!
No where do you mention moisture testing the roof. You cannot roof over a saturated roof and one sign of a saturated roof is leaks. How do you know the substrate condition without moisture testing?
Can you also apply white roofing granules into that?
Are you wanting to add them for grit or texture on a walking surface?
@@Surecoatsystems to match the rolled roofing that I have and also for walking surface mostly for looks and durability.

Does this material work on a rubber roof?
This material works great on rubber roofs
How many years does this last?
7 to 10.
After this process, can the roof be painted on?
Yes, you can paint the roof after this process but you may not want to. SureCoat is available in 25 colors. Paint will change the overall solar reflective properties and the paint will eventually peel off of the SCRS as paint is breathable and waterproof. SureCoat is similar to a rubberized roofing membrane once cured so it is impermeable, flexible and UV stable unlike paint and therefore will thermal cycle at a different rate, lasting much longer than paint. You can us with questions at 877-823-7873 or email your questions to info@surecoatsystems.com. - Thank you!

I thought Elastomeric coating was a deflection product and would break down in a ponding situation? Wouldn’t a non fiber asphalt products work better
with this material plus the fabric if the day is not hot it'll not dry underneath it and if it get wet it will just be a waste
We have an alternative fast drying coating for cooler weather applications that you can read more about here: surecoatsystems.com/sureset-quick-dry-roof-coating/
The application method is the same.
That's totally wrong. I've done my whole roof with this and my garage and it dried fine on cool winter days and works great. If it rains within a couple hours on a cool day maybe, otherwise no problem.
Thank you for this video. Very good promotion. I see this is recommended for flat roofs. Why would it not work on a gable roof?
The coating looks like it would spread more like honey versus pancake syrup such that it seems it would stay relatively put despite any slope.
From looking at my roof, it looks like 60 degrees slope from the roof's ridge going towards the edge of the roof. That is, if one had a large enough triangle of 30, 60, and 90 degrees, the 90 degree angle would be at the bottom of the crawl space or just above the ceiling in the living space, the 60 degree angle at the ridge, and the 30 degree angle at the edge of the roof where rain gutters would be. The building is in California where rain does not count like it does in Florida but, as is known by many, there are many fires and earth quakes in California.
Can this coating resist fires and earthquakes?
Found one leak on the roof, by a vent, about 5 feet below the ridge line and about 5 more leaks near the edges where the roof is about a foot or two beyond the building. Do not have the cash to re roof but need to fix the leak now for getting different insurance on the building. Need different insurance to be able to rent out one unit of this building. Struggling to hold on to this place.
Any recommendations on repairing this roof?
bueno
If you have a leak then power washing can be a problem
If you don't fix it then you still have a leak.
+Isidra Person-Lynn - Thanks for viewing. All surfaces to receive a paint or coating must be prepared for the application. This is true for roofing, walls and floors. A power washer is not always necessary but the roof has to be cleaned somehow to ensure adhesion of the materials.
+Isidra Person-Lynn You can also make sure the tenant moves anything important from the leaking area if they haven't already. A waterbroom and shop vaccum or leaf blower will dispurse puddles while cleaning so there is no water to feed the leak. It takes more than what we need to do to clean the roof to make it leak inside during the process. It is good to address this up front. Most put it in their proposal that water is used to clean the roof and to secure any personal property. If there is a bad leak precautions can be taken inside for any water intrusion.
Do it even resist againt sun heat?????????
Old video.
Use the soap in a bug sprayer.
Just use it on the entire roof. Then power wash the entire roof.
It works on a wet surface because elastomeric coatings are water based and, if you apply it on areas with standing water it will peel off
Hi Juan, We appreciate your thoughts and always value the opinion of our clients and potential customers. We would love to clarify the use of this product to highlight the optimal results when installed to specification. SureCoat is not intended to be applied in standing water, and while the substrate can be damp, there should not be standing water during application. The SureCoat Roof System has been proven through field testing at multiple locations in diverse climates to be waterproof once the system is cured, meaning standing/ponding water will not be an issue. If you have any further questions or concerns about the use or installation process of SureCoat Systems, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@surecoatsystems.com. Thank you again, Juan, we look forward to talking with you.
this damage appears to be from a roof low spot where water is ponding.. the coating appears to be an elastomeric roof coating. if these 2 things are the case, this repair probably wont last long. elastomerics arent good, they will wash off after repeated rains, and are completely worthless if water is ponding. im speaking from experience with 3 different trials using elastomerics
i dont know what membrane is being used here but it may help the elastomeric last longer. maybe the video owner can comment on this. .
1. fix the low spot first.
2. use torch applied modified bitumen or hot mop to make permanent repair that will last 10 years.
+makesumwake - Thank you for the comment. Elastomeric is only a property of a coating. Majority of coatings these days are elastomeric. Elastomeric only means that it has elongation. This video is for a roof system, not just an elastomeric roof coating. The SureCoat roof coating in this video is waterproof. It has an impermeable membrane once cured unlike acrylic elastomeric coatings. The membrane (Poly-Mesh) is for added tensile strength. this roof system has a 2800+ psi. SureCoat's perm rating is .0025. Perm rating is the rate at which moisture will pass through something. There is not an elastomeric that has been around for longer that a three years that has a perm rating lower than SureCoat. SureCoat was made for roofs that pond water. There is a testimonial video on this channel where the contractor went on a roof that had a SureCoat repair that was 5 years old, he swept the dirt and shows a close-up of the roofing membrane. No tears, still leak free. I know its hard to believe because there are a hundred acrylic coating manufacturers that have mislead the industry into thinking that their products would fix commercial roofing and gave the coating industry a black-eye. The proof is always on the roof. We have this system on millions of feet of flat and low-sloped roofing performing just how we say it does. Email info@surecoatsystems.com and ask for the PDS & Definitions Key if you would like to compare for yourself. Thanks again, take care.
+makesumwake - Elastomeric is only one property of a coating. It means its ability to expand and contract. This material was made for roofs that pond water. This system stops roof leaks in ponds. It has to do with the perm rating and the poly-mesh reinforcement. It does not ever wash away unless rained on before it cures. It does weather, as all roofs do, whether Single-ply or a coating. It wears in mils.
As with all liquid based products, this is not a good idea on a roof with lot of foot traffic for repairs and service of rooftop units. Foot traffic and tool dropping problems will cause tears and ruptures in the system and lead to leaks that the manufacturer will not cover. I have been at this since 77 and I have seen it all. Some say you can install footpaths on the roof, but that is in addition to the original roof cost and you better get it in writing that the areas under the footpaths are still warrantied. Also, I have done a few roofs and Never have roofed over an area with ponding water without replacing the existing wet area and somehow re-inforcing that area or adding positive drainage. There are EPDM roofs on for 62 years and still there. Roofs with very low pitch, heavy foot traffic, or the potential for ponding, should never use liquid applied systems.
The one guy had it right Home Depot's got that cheap s*** right on the Shelf
This is not going to dry
You shouldn't be putting down anything until the roof is dry. That's just going to peel away and bubble in the we areas.
SCRS can be applied over clean damp substrates
😁👍👏🏻
This product hasn't even been around for 20 years .So how could you say it last for 20 years?I have several jobs I did 20 years ago using rubberized emulsion with the membrane better still in great condition. I only went back twice to put a re coat. once every 10 years. That's doing the job the right way with years to prove it.
We have a project that we have been monitoring in Los Angeles that is 20 years in service, same chemistry, renewed in year 11 with a top coat. Product was rebranded in 2006 to SureCoat. I don't have time to argue. These videos are here for people who want to learn. I am here to answer questions not defend a brand that you haven't ever tried.

If you prefer your method, by all means carry on Mr. Perez. Take care.
Manuel Perez maybe you can give me some advice.. lm putting a tar paper roof on my old travel trailer. Should I use staples or roofing nails. I plan to paint it with elastomeric roof coating, should I use some time of primer. The guy at Home Depot said I should be fine with just the coating itself. What do you say?
I am coming here knowing nothing about this product, but in industrial science it's typical to rig up tests in labs where say 20 years of UV exposure can be simulated over 2 years.
Never heard of artificial aging then.
You are right Mr. Perez. I am currently working on a 25000 square foot foam roof in phoenix. I use the emulsion as well. Just do what TieTex says to do, right?
So, you have a hole that you power spray water into. Great idea!
If there is an open hole it should be repaired prior to any coating application, this repair does not represent what you are trying to claim.
This looks similar to hydro stop.
+Glenn S Hydro stop requires a cement type base, which I never knew until a Hydro Stop contractor came in and told me about the correct application. Then there is a foundation coat that the fabric is embedded in. It is a resin stained green. Then the white acrylic topcoat is put on. SureCoat is all waterproof, is one coating throughout the system so all the properties are in the entire membrane making it all waterproof, UV stable, and sustainable. It can be cleaned and topcoated every 10, 15 or 20 years depending on the sytem and the warranty renewed. So it is different.
