How to Budget for a Roof Coating Project: A Guide for Property Managers

Budgeting for a roof coating project doesn’t have to be complex—if you know what to expect. Here’s how to plan for one at your multifamily property.


Understand the Cost Factors

  • Roof Size: Typically priced per square foot
  • Roof Condition: Repairs before coating can raise costs
  • Coating System: Silicone is more expensive than acrylic but longer-lasting
  • Access: Difficult access can add labor time and safety measures

Typical Price Range

Expect anywhere from $4 to $8 per square foot depending on your region, roof condition, and coating material.


Build It Into Your CapEx Plan

Roof coatings are considered maintenance or restoration—not full replacements—so you may be able to budget them under operating expenses, depending on your accounting practices.


Don’t Forget These Hidden Costs

  • Moisture scans
  • Curb and penetration flashing
  • Long-term warranties or inspections
