Coating and restoration, done the thorough way.
Every Wellman job across Muskegon County and West Michigan follows the same disciplined system — because a coating only lasts as long as the prep underneath it. Here's exactly what we do and why.
We apply professional-grade Sherwin-Williams coating systems, selected for the existing roof and project conditions.
Our coating & restoration services.
Liquid-Applied Roof Coating
The core of what we do. Sherwin-Williams elastomeric or silicone systems that cure into a continuous, reflective, protective membrane across a properly prepared roof — including compatible metal, EPDM, TPO and PVC systems on manufactured homes, RVs and campers, residences and small-commercial buildings.
Rust Treatment & Restoration
Rust never sleeps. We clean the surface, treat active corrosion, and prime bare metal so it's stable before a drop of coating goes down. Skip this step and the rust keeps eating the roof under a pretty white surface.
Seam & Penetration Sealing
Roofs leak at the details — seams, fasteners, vents, pipes, skylights and the roof edge. We reinforce and seal each one, then tie it all into the coating.
Inspection & Honest Assessment
Not every roof should be coated. We'll inspect yours and give you a straight answer. If a coating will serve you, we'll scope it. If it won't, you'll hear that up front.
Existing roofs — restored, not replaced.
- Existing metal roofs and manufactured & mobile home roof systems
- Compatible EPDM, TPO and PVC membrane roofs, verified by inspection and coating-system requirements
- Compatible RV & camper roof systems, including EPDM, TPO and PVC membranes where appropriate
- Metal and low-slope roof systems on houses and small commercial buildings
What we don't do: shingle replacement, tear-offs, or structural roofing. Coating restores a sound existing roof — it isn't a substitute for one that's failed.
How a Wellman roof comes together.
Assess
Brian walks the roof, photographs rust, seams, fasteners and penetrations, confirms coating is the right call, and measures for an exact quote.
Prepare
Clean and prepare the existing roof for the selected system. On metal, that can include treating active rust and priming bare areas; membrane roofs receive the compatible cleaning, detailing and primers required for their substrate.
Restore
Address seams, fasteners, penetrations and other details that apply to the roof, then install the selected coating system at the required application rate.
Document
You get before/after photos, the coating system used and the warranty terms — in writing.
Sherwin-Williams systems, matched to your roof.
Different roofs call for different systems. Elastomeric systems are designed to remain flexible through temperature changes. Certain silicone systems are well-suited to ponding-water exposure and UV conditions. Metal, EPDM, TPO and PVC each have their own preparation and compatibility requirements. As a Sherwin-Williams partner we spec professional-grade materials selected for the existing roof and conditions — and walk you through the choice so you know exactly what's going over your head.
When restoration isn't the right call.
Coating isn't a cure-all. A roof may not be a candidate when the deck is structurally unsound, moisture is trapped inside the assembly, drainage can't be corrected, the substrate isn't compatible with the coating, or deterioration has progressed beyond a repairable condition.
If your roof isn't a sound candidate, Brian will tell you — before you spend a dime.
Warranty, spelled out on every estimate.
Manufacturer material warranty
Your estimate names the exact Sherwin-Williams system going on your roof and the manufacturer warranty available for it — in writing, before any work starts.
Wellman workmanship warranty
Brian stands behind his prep and application. Your estimate states the workmanship warranty — how long it lasts and exactly what it covers.
What homeowners ask us most.
What prep happens before the coating goes on?
How long does a coated roof last?
Can you coat over rust?
Do you coat EPDM, TPO and PVC roofs?
Do you coat RV and camper roofs?
What about standing (ponding) water?
Not sure if your roof can be coated?
Send a photo or request a look. Brian will give you a straight answer — even if that answer is that coating isn't right for your roof.
