Roof Coating & Restoration — Homes & Businesses

We restore the roofs others tell you to replace.

Rust and leaks don't have to mean a tear-off. Our Sherwin-Williams coating systems seal, protect and add years of life to your existing roof — on manufactured homes, houses and commercial buildings alike, at a fraction of replacement cost.

Proud PartnerSherwin-Williams®

We apply professional-grade Sherwin-Williams coating systems — manufacturer-backed materials that carry real warranties, not hardware-store paint.

Who we serve

One system. Three kinds of roof.

We started with the manufactured-home roofs no one else would touch. Today we coat and restore residential and commercial roofs across the region too.

Manufactured & Mobile Homes

Our specialty and where we started — sealing and restoring the metal roofs most roofers refuse to service.

How it works

Residential

Low-slope and metal roofs on houses — restored and waterproofed without the cost and mess of a full replacement.

How it works

Commercial

Flat and metal roofs on businesses and communities. Reflective coatings that cut cooling costs and defer capital spend.

Commercial & property managers
The problem we fix

A rusty roof isn't a dead roof.

Most roofers won't touch a metal or manufactured-home roof — or they'll quote a full replacement you don't need. That leaves a lot of good roofs getting torn off years before their time.

Coating is the smarter first move. We clean the roof down, treat the rust, seal every seam and fastener, and lay down a Sherwin-Williams elastomeric or silicone membrane that waterproofs the whole surface as one continuous skin.

What we do

Built around one thing: making your roof last.

Roof Coating

Full elastomeric or silicone systems that seal your entire roof into one waterproof, reflective membrane.

Rust Treatment & Restoration

We stop active rust and restore the surface before coating, so corrosion doesn't creep back underneath.

Seam & Penetration Sealing

Vents, fasteners, skylights and seams — the places roofs actually leak — reinforced and sealed watertight.

Our process

Four steps. One roof that lasts.

Inspect

We walk the roof, find the failures, and confirm a coating is genuinely the right call for you.

Prep & Treat

Clean the surface, treat rust, and prime bare metal so the coating bonds for the long haul.

Seal

Reinforce and seal every seam, fastener and penetration — the real source of most leaks.

Coat

Apply the full membrane in even coats for a continuous, reflective, waterproof finish.

Backed in writing

Two warranties, one peace of mind.

Manufacturer material warranty

Because we apply Sherwin-Williams coating systems to spec, your roof is protected by the manufacturer's material warranty — the same standard used on commercial roofs.

Wellman workmanship warranty

We stand behind our prep and application. If our workmanship fails within the warranty period, we come back and make it right. (Terms provided with every estimate.)

Proof on the roof

Rust to reflective — real jobs.

Brian Wellman, owner of Wellman Coatings and Restoration
From the owner
“I started Wellman because too many good roofs get torn off years too early. I'd rather save you the roof — and the money.”

Every Wellman job is done by me, to the standard I'd want on my own home. No rotating crews, no upsells you don't need, and a straight answer on whether a coating is even right for your roof.

Good questions

What homeowners ask us most.

Does a coating really stop leaks, or just cover them up?
A proper system doesn't hide leaks — it eliminates their source. We seal every seam, fastener and penetration, then apply a continuous membrane so water has no path in. Prep is 80% of the job; the coating is what locks it in.
How long does a coated roof last?
With the right system and proper prep, expect roughly 10–15 years of added life, and coatings can be re-applied down the road to extend it further — without another tear-off.
Can you coat over rust?
Yes — that's much of what we do. We treat and stabilize active rust and prime bare metal first. Skipping that step is why cheap coating jobs fail, so we never do.
What about standing (ponding) water?
For roofs that hold water, we use silicone systems built to handle ponding and relentless UV. We match the coating to how your roof actually drains.
Is coating cheaper than replacement?
In most cases it's roughly half the cost of a full tear-off and replacement, with far less mess and disruption — and it buys you years before replacement is ever on the table.
How long does a job take?
Most single-roof jobs are completed in a day or two, weather permitting. Coatings need dry conditions to cure, so we schedule around the forecast.
