Mobile Roof Pros provides professional roof coatings & sealing in Mobile, AL for residential and commercial properties across the central Gulf Coast. This is the page where we talk most customers out of something. A coating is a good product used in the wrong place more often than any other material we handle, and in a climate this wet the wrong place is very common.
A coating is a membrane you install in liquid form. It works when it bonds to a substrate that is sound and dry: an intact metal roof with tight fasteners, or a single-ply or modified bitumen membrane that has aged at the surface but is dry all the way through. On those, an acrylic or silicone system genuinely adds years for a fraction of what a tear-off would cost, and we are glad to sell it.
It fails when there is already water inside the assembly. Coat over wet insulation or a saturated deck and you have sealed off the only path that moisture had out. Here that assembly does not dry, it blisters, and the coating peels away in sheets by the second summer while the deck underneath keeps rotting on schedule. We have torn off two-year-old coatings to find pulped sheathing beneath them.
So we will not sell a coating without a moisture survey. On a commercial low-slope roof that means core cuts or an infrared scan taken on a clear evening, mapped and marked on a plan. If the wet area is small we cut it out, replace the insulation and coat the rest. If the roof reads wet across a third of its area, coating it is money burned and we quote the tear-off instead.
We also decline coatings on residential asphalt shingles outright. Products are marketed for it. They trap moisture in the mat, void the shingle manufacturer's warranty, and make the eventual tear-off more expensive because the shingles then come off in fragments. A shingle roof bad enough to want coating is a shingle roof bad enough to replace, and no amount of elastomeric over the top changes that arithmetic.
Where coatings do belong, we specify by system and by mil thickness, not by gallons on a truck. Metal roofs get a rust-inhibitive primer, seam and fastener reinforcement with polyester fabric, then topcoat at the manufacturer's dry film thickness. That number is what the warranty is written against, and it is the first thing a cut-rate coating job quietly skips.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, sealed roof decks with taped panel seams, open 26-gauge W-valley metal, kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall terminations, six-inch K-style aluminum gutter with three-by-four downspouts, ring-shank fasteners at six and twelve inch spacing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Mobile and nearby communities including Prichard, Tillmans Corner, Saraland, Daphne.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof coatings & sealing
The difference between roof coatings & sealing that lasts and roof coatings & sealing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, sealed roof decks with taped panel seams, open 26-gauge W-valley metal, kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall terminations, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Mobile job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the central Gulf Coast means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Mobile Chooses Mobile Roof Pros
- ✓Gutters and downspouts are sized from the roof's drainage area, not copied from what was on the house before
- ✓Open 26-gauge metal valleys are standard, because a closed-cut valley asks a shingle lap to carry two planes of runoff
- ✓Every proposal names the underlayment by ASTM standard and coverage area, not just the shingle brand
- ✓Kick-out flashing goes on at every roof-to-wall termination, including the ones a previous roofer sealed over
The standards behind roof coatings & sealing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof coatings & sealing work we do in Mobile follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every roof coatings & sealing project in Mobile gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
