Hickory Roof Pros provides professional roof coatings & sealing in Hickory, NC for residential and commercial properties across Catawba County and the Unifour. This is the page where we mostly tell people not to buy. Coatings do genuine work on the right substrate and nothing at all on the wrong one, and in Hickory the wrong one is what usually gets quoted.
Start with the refusal. Do not coat an asphalt shingle roof. There is a whole category of product sold door to door in this valley as shingle restoration, and it does not restore anything. A coating on shingles traps moisture in the mat, voids what remains of the manufacturer's coverage, and makes the eventual tear-off dirtier and more expensive. If your shingles are worn enough that someone suggested coating them, what you actually need is shingles.
Where coating earns its money is metal. An exposed-fastener panel roof on a shop or outbuilding, sound underneath with surface rust and tired gaskets, is a good candidate. The process is real: pressure clean, treat rust back to stable metal, prime, replace or re-gasket the fasteners, tape every seam and penetration, then two coats of silicone at the specified dry film thickness. Rolling silicone over everything without the fastener work is what gives coatings their reputation.
Low-slope membrane is the other honest use. A modified bitumen or EPDM roof with sound seams and no wet insulation underneath can gain years from a properly applied coating, and it costs a fraction of replacement. The test is not visual. If a core cut comes back saturated, coating traps that water and you have bought a heavier wet roof. We take the core, patch it the same day, and show you what came out.
Sealant is not coating and the two get sold as if they were. Sealant belongs in a joint that is designed to be sealed, tooled into a saw-cut reglet or a lap, in a product rated for the movement it will see. A bead smeared over a flashing that should have been formed is a two-year repair pretending to be a permanent one, and it will not appear in our scope as a fix.
Our honest position is that most residential callers who ask us about coating should spend nothing. If the roof is asphalt, coating is wrong. If the roof is metal and sound, coating is worth pricing. If the metal is perforated through, coating is too late. Three questions and most people are done, and we would rather answer them on the phone than sell a gallon of anything.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — kickout diverters soldered rather than caulked at the wall termination, self-adhered membrane run across the full receiving plane, headwall flashing tucked behind the wall covering on a two-story elevation, three by four downspout outlets set at the low end of the lower run, a doubled starter band laid in the impact strip below an upper eave, 26-gauge painted W-valley metal beneath an open valley cut — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hickory and nearby communities including Newton, Conover, Long View, St. Stephens.

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 kickout diverters soldered rather than caulked at the wall termination, self-adhered membrane run across the full receiving plane, headwall flashing tucked behind the wall covering on a two-story elevation, three by four downspout outlets set at the low end of the lower run, 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 Hickory 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 Catawba County and the Unifour means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Hickory Chooses Hickory Roof Pros
- ✓We grade planes, not roofs. A stacked Hickory house gets a separate condition note for each slope, and you keep that sheet whether or not you hire us.
- ✓Receiving planes get a membrane across the full field rather than the customary three-foot eave strip, because the water landing there does not stop three feet up.
- ✓Kickout diverters go on every roof-to-wall termination we build. They cost very little and they are missing from most of the brick-veneer stock in this county.
- ✓We will quote a partial replacement when the lower roof is finished and the field is not, and we will tell you plainly what the color mismatch will look like.
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 Hickory 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 Hickory 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.
