Aurum Developments — Commercial Roof Coating

Why Coat Instead of Replace

Three reasons facility managers choose restoration.

Roof replacement is a seven-figure capital project. Coating is a maintenance expense that extends your roof 10–20 years, qualifies for Section 179 deduction, and keeps the building fully operational the entire time.

50–70%

Cost Savings

A fraction of full replacement — and often deductible as a repair/maintenance expense rather than a capitalized asset.

The Comparison That Ends the Debate

Coating vs full replacement.

Most property owners assume a leaking or aging roof means tear-off. It usually doesn't. Here's what the two paths actually look like side-by-side on a typical 20,000 SF commercial roof.

Full Replacement

$240,000–$500,000+ total
3–6 weeks of active construction
Tear-off, dumpsters, tenant disruption
Capitalized asset — depreciated over 39 years
New 20-year manufacturer warranty
Weather-dependent install window

Aurum Restoration

$80,000–$180,000 total on the same roof
3–7 days, no tear-off, no dumpsters
Building operates normally throughout
Expensed as maintenance (Section 179 eligible)
Same 20-year manufacturer warranty
Low-temp systems extend the install season

Most-Asked Questions

Quick answers before you pick up the phone.

How long does a roof coating actually last?

GAF HydroStop silicone and acrylic systems are warranted 10, 15, or 20 years depending on the application thickness we specify. Real-world service life typically matches or exceeds the warranty tier when the substrate is prepped correctly and the system is re-coated at the 10–15 year mark.

Will coating void my existing roof warranty?

No. GAF's HydroStop system is engineered to coat over TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR, and metal — and in most cases the original manufacturer has a formal approval letter on file. We confirm compatibility before writing the proposal.

Is roof coating tax-deductible as maintenance?

In most scenarios coating is treated as repair/maintenance rather than a capital improvement — which means it can be expensed in the year of installation (Section 179 eligible) rather than depreciated over 39 years. Always confirm with your tax advisor.

What states do you serve?

Primary service area is Illinois and Indiana from our Danville, IL base. We also operate in Florida under Florida Gold Roofing (our sister entity, fully licensed for FL). Illinois state licensing is in progress — Indiana and Florida are active today.
