Why Stormshield Uses Roof Coatings to Save Michigan Businesses Thousands

At Stormshield Roofing, we believe that great roofing solutions should protect your building—and your bottom line. That’s why we specialize in roof coatings as a smarter, more cost-effective alternative to full roof replacement for commercial and industrial buildings across Michigan.

The Cost of Roof Replacement vs. Roof Restoration

When most business owners see signs of roof wear—leaks, cracks, or ponding water—the default reaction is: “It’s time for a new roof.” But full replacement is a major capital expense that often isn’t necessary. A high-quality roof coating system can extend the life of your existing roof by 10–20 years at a fraction of the cost of a full tear-off and replacement.

• Typical roof replacement: $8–$12 per sq. ft.
• Professional roof coating system: $2–$5 per sq. ft.
• Savings: Often 40–70% less than replacement

Why We Trust Henry® Pro-Grade Roof Coatings

We use Henry Pro-Grade® coatings because they’re engineered for long-term durability, UV resistance, and waterproofing performance. These premium-grade systems bond seamlessly to your existing roof and create a flexible, weather-resistant membrane that can stand up to Michigan’s extreme freeze/thaw cycles.

Benefits of Henry Pro-Grade coatings:

• Superior adhesion to most commercial roof types (EPDM, TPO, BUR, metal, etc.)
• Reflective white topcoats that reduce heat absorption and cooling costs
• Seamless protection that resists leaks, ponding water, and cracking
• Manufacturer-backed warranties up to 20 years

 Built for Michigan Weather

From icy winters to summer downpours, Michigan weather puts commercial roofs to the test. Roof coatings offer protection without adding weight or requiring structural modifications. They’re also applied quickly and with minimal disruption—meaning your operations can continue as usual.

And because roof coatings are considered maintenance, not capital improvements, your investment may be tax-deductible the same year, unlike replacements that must be depreciated over decades (always confirm with your tax advisor).

Real-World Savings for Michigan Business Owners

We’ve helped property managers, manufacturing plants, schools, and retail centers save tens of thousands of dollars using roof coatings instead of full replacements. In many cases, we’ve extended roof life by 10+ years without shutting down operations or disturbing tenants.

One recent client in Grand Rapids saved over $60,000 by choosing a Henry Pro-Grade system instead of replacing their 30,000 sq. ft. metal roof—and saw a measurable drop in HVAC costs within the first season.

When Is Roof Coating the Right Choice?

Roof coatings are ideal for:

• Aging roofs with minor to moderate wear
• Flat or low-slope commercial roofs
• Businesses looking to avoid costly tear-offs
• Owners interested in energy-efficient building solutions
• Budget-conscious facility managers

If your roof has good structural integrity, but shows signs of wear, coating is likely the right solution.
