Spray Polyurethane Foam Coating
SPF Roofing
What Are Commercial Roof Coatings?
Protection, Efficiency, and Cost-Effectiveness
Extending the lifespan of a commercial roof is not just a priority—it’s a necessity for property owners, facility managers, and decision-makers looking to maximize budgets and reduce operational headaches. Roof replacements are costly, disruptive, and time-consuming, making preventative solutions a smarter alternative. Roof coatings have emerged as a powerful tool in protecting commercial roofs against wear and tear, harsh weather, and UV damage, all while improving energy efficiency and cutting down maintenance expenses.
For those seeking the highest level of performance and durability, Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing stands out. Offering unparalleled insulation, seamless waterproofing, and a lightweight yet strong barrier, SPF systems save businesses money over the long term by reducing energy consumption and minimizing costly repairs. By extending the roof’s serviceable life, such solutions allow decision-makers to focus on growth and profitability instead of constant roof-related problems. It’s protection, performance, and peace of mind—combined.
Why Choose SPF Roofing Over Other Coatings?
SPF roofing is a modern solution that has recently gained much popularity. Traditional coatings such as acrylic or silicone are applied as protective layers on top of existing roofing materials.
SPF roofing is applied as a liquid that expands into a dense foam, filling in any gaps and creating a completely seamless membrane. Because of this, it offers benefits such as:
- Superior Insulation: Reduces energy costs with exceptional thermal performance.
- Leak Prevention: A seamless barrier ensures robust moisture protection.
- Lightweight Durability: Strengthens the roof without adding excess weight.
- Adaptability: Easily applied over most roof types, minimizing waste and disruption.
- Cost Savings: Long lifespan and minimal maintenance make it a smart investment.
Signs Your Business Should Invest in an SPF Roof
If your commercial roof is showing signs of wear, it may be time to consider upgrading to an SPF system. Here are a few signs you might spot:
- Frequent Leaks
- High Energy Bills
- Ponding Water
- Cracks & Blisters
- Rising Maintenance Costs

When it comes to a company that will get the job done right you have to go with Great Lakes Commercial Roofing. Zac is easy to work with and very knowledgeable about many different products and options. Don’t make the mistake I did and call a contractor that is mainly a residential roofer to look at your industrial roof unless you like wasting money
Tom Havacheck
Great company to work with! I have a building in Pennsylvania but live in another state. My roof was leaking and Zac was sent out and did the inspection on the roof. When he was at the building he called and sent me a link to live pictures
Jason Bakus
These guys are awsome. Great job from start to finish. Did our large commercial catering hall. Always available if we have a question or concern. Roof looks great and best of all. No more leeks. Defiantly recommend

Barb Goliad
I called Great Lakes Commercial Roofing to come check out my building. I had a company put silicone roof coating on it 5 years ago and since day one it never stopped the leaking problems, the other company came out 5 times to “fix the problem” but never did. Zac came out and evaluated my problem and gave me a ton of information on the best solution to fix the problem.
