McAllen Roof Pros provides professional roof coatings & sealing in McAllen, TX for residential and commercial properties across the central Rio Grande Valley. This is the page where we argue against something. Coatings are a genuinely good product on a low-slope membrane and a genuinely bad one on a residential shingle roof, and in a hot market the wrong version gets sold constantly.
The pitch for a reflective coating over shingles is that it cools the house. What it does on asphalt is bridge the course gaps, which stops a lapped system draining as designed, traps moisture in the mat, and coats over the penetration details causing the leak. A year later it has cracked at every course line and the real failure has had twelve more months to work. If somebody has quoted you that, get a second opinion.
Where coatings earn their money is on a sound low-slope membrane that is weathered but not failed. A silicone system over prepared modified bitumen or aged TPO buys real years, resists ponding better than acrylic, and reflects heat off a surface with no attic beneath it. Preparation decides the result: pressure clean, treat the rust, reinforce every seam and penetration with fabric, then coat to the specified wet mil thickness.
Acrylic has a place on a well-drained roof in a market with a long dry season, and ours qualifies for most of the year. It costs less, breathes better and recoats easily. It does not tolerate standing water, so we do not put it anywhere that holds a puddle after a September band comes through. Where a customer wants reflectivity on a budget and the roof drains, acrylic is the right call and we say so.
Sealing work is the other half of this page and it is the part most McAllen roofs actually need. Re-bedding a plumbing collar, cutting a proper reglet and setting new counterflashing at a stucco headwall, replacing hardened sealant at a chase, and re-caulking a coping joint with a compatible polyurethane are small jobs that address the real water paths.
We quote sealing separately and honestly, and it is often a few hundred dollars against a coating proposal in the thousands. If your leak is at a penetration, no amount of coating fixes it. Fix the detail, then talk about whether the field wants a coating at all. We will also tell you when a membrane is too far gone to coat, because a coating over a failed roof buys nothing.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered high-temperature underlayment, kickout flashing, reglet-cut counterflashing, external-baffle ridge vent, six-nail common bond fastening, ES-1 rated edge metal — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve McAllen and nearby communities including Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco.

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 self-adhered high-temperature underlayment, kickout flashing, reglet-cut counterflashing, external-baffle ridge vent, 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 McAllen 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 Rio Grande Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
