Case Study: Restoring a Failed Modified Bitumen Roof with a Dual-Coating System near NRG Stadium
US ROOF restored a failed modified bitumen roof at a hospitality property near NRG Stadium using an in-house dual-coating system designed for durable commercial performance.
Project overview
US ROOF completed a commercial roof restoration at a Studio 6 motel near NRG Stadium in Houston, giving an aging modified bitumen roof a new service life without a full tear-off. The existing mod-bit roof had reached complete failure, with widespread deterioration that made continued patching impractical. Instead of removing the entire system and disrupting day-to-day operations, our team restored the roof using an in-house dual-coating process tailored for commercial properties that need a watertight solution with less downtime.
For hospitality owners and facility managers, this type of project is about more than stopping leaks. It is about protecting rooms, common areas, and operations while making a practical capital decision. By restoring the roof rather than replacing it outright, US ROOF delivered a commercial roof coating Houston property owners can use to extend performance while avoiding the expense and operational impact of a complete replacement.
The challenge
The roof had moved beyond isolated repairs. Leaks were active, the membrane was deteriorated, and the property needed a solution that addressed failure at the system level. On an occupied hospitality property, a full tear-off can create noise, staging issues, weather exposure, and disruption for guests and staff. The goal was to restore the roof to a durable, watertight condition while keeping interruption to operations as limited as possible.
Our in-house dual-system coating process
US ROOF approached the project by first performing complete asphalt base repairs to stabilize and correct failed areas of the modified bitumen substrate. Once the roof was properly prepared, our crews applied an acrylic base coat followed by a silicone top coat over the acrylic. This silicone-over-acrylic dual system helps seal the roof surface, improve resistance to weather and ponding water, and reflect heat for better long-term roof performance. The work was completed by US ROOF’s own crews as an in-house process, not subcontracted out.
The result
The completed system delivered a fully restored, watertight commercial roof without the cost and disruption of a complete tear-off. For the property, that meant a practical path forward on a failed roof assembly and a restoration strategy aligned with continued operation of the motel. The finished coating system extended the roof’s service life and provided a renewed protective surface suited to Houston’s heat, rain, and standing-water challenges common on low-slope roofs.
This restoration system carries a 20-year warranty on the coating system. For owners evaluating aging flat roofs, that makes restoration a serious option when the underlying conditions and project goals support it.
