Aurora Roof Pros provides professional roof coatings & sealing in Aurora, IL for residential and commercial properties across the Fox River valley. Coatings have a bad reputation in residential roofing and mostly they have earned it. But in Aurora there is a specific case where a coating is the smartest money on the table, and it is worth explaining rather than dismissing.
The bad case first. A coating over steep-slope asphalt shingles is not a product, it is a way of voiding a warranty and making the eventual tear-off harder and more expensive. If somebody has offered to spray your shingle roof to buy you five years, decline. It does not work, it traps moisture in the mat, and the crew that removes it later will charge you for the privilege.
The good case is a sound low-slope roof with a functioning membrane and a drainage pattern that works. A silicone or acrylic restoration coating at the manufacturer's specified dry film thickness in mils, applied over a properly cleaned and primed surface, extends that system by ten to fifteen years for a fraction of replacement cost. That is a genuine product doing a genuine job on the right roof.
Here is why that matters more in this city than in most. A restoration coating on a working membrane is maintenance, and maintenance does not carry the weight that improvement does on the fifty percent count the city keeps for buildings in the mapped hazard area. For an owner near the river who has already paid for a furnace and a service upgrade, that can be the difference between staying under the ceiling and a conversation about elevation.
We do not coat wet insulation. Core cuts and a moisture scan come first, and if the plugs come back saturated the honest answer is that a coating will seal the water in and you will pay for the same roof twice. We have walked away from coating jobs for exactly this reason and we will walk away from yours. Sealing water into an assembly is not a saving, it is only a delay.
When we do coat, the proposal names the product, its ASTM standard, the mil thickness wet and dry, the primer, the reinforcing fabric at seams and penetrations, and the surface preparation method. A coating quoted by the square foot with no thickness stated is not a specification, it is a paint job with a warranty printed on it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — laminated fibreglass shingles meeting ASTM D3462 at six nails per shingle, 1x6 square-edge board sheathing with skip gaps over rafters at 24 inches, double-lock standing seam formed on site from 24-gauge steel coil, granulated cap sheet carried up the adjoining wall as a base flashing, step flashing woven course by course into soft common-brick sidewalls, chimney taken down below the deck line with a framed and sheathed infill — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Aurora and nearby communities including North Aurora, Montgomery, Oswego, Yorkville.

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 laminated fibreglass shingles meeting ASTM D3462 at six nails per shingle, 1x6 square-edge board sheathing with skip gaps over rafters at 24 inches, double-lock standing seam formed on site from 24-gauge steel coil, granulated cap sheet carried up the adjoining wall as a base flashing, 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 Aurora 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 Fox River valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Aurora Chooses Aurora Roof Pros
- ✓We read the Fox River flood map for your address before we price anything, because inside the mapped hazard area the city counts what you spend on the building and that count has a ceiling.
- ✓Every estimate states in one line whether we treat the work as maintenance, repair or improvement, and shows the figure against the structure's assessed improvement value.
- ✓On the low-lying older neighbourhoods we quote staged replacement by slope, so a house does not trip the fifty percent rule in a single season.
- ✓We refuse tile conversions on 1990s truss framing without a structural engineer's letter, and we say so before you have paid anyone for a design.
The standards behind roof coatings & sealing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof coatings & sealing work we do in Aurora follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every roof coatings & sealing project in Aurora gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
