How to Use the Roof Coating Cost Calculator

Step 1: Enter the Roof Size

Begin by inputting the total square footage of your roof. This measurement is crucial as it directly affects the amount of coating material needed and the overall cost of the project.

Step 2: Select the Roof Type

Choose the type of roof you have from the dropdown menu. Options include flat, low slope, or steep slope. The roof type impacts the difficulty of application and thus the cost.

Step 3: Choose the Coating Type

Select the type of coating you plan to use. The calculator offers options for acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane coatings, each with different costs and properties.

Step 4: Specify the Number of Coats

Indicate how many coats of the coating you intend to apply. More coats provide better protection but increase the overall cost.

Step 5: Determine the Level of Surface Preparation

Select the level of surface preparation required for your roof. This can range from minimal to extensive, depending on the current condition of your roof.

Step 6: Calculate and Review the Results

After entering all the required information, click the “Calculate Cost” button. The calculator will process your inputs and display an estimated cost range for your roof coating project. Review the results and the accompanying explanation to understand how the estimate was derived.

By following these steps, you can quickly obtain a customized estimate for your roof coating project, helping you make informed decisions about your roofing needs and budget accordingly.
