Ibericoat Liquid-Applied Roof Coating: Silicone & Acrylic Restoration System Specs

Published: 2026-06-22

Ibericoat is a European-manufactured liquid-applied roof restoration coating system available in silicone (high-solids, 97%) and acrylic (water-based) formulations. Silicone is preferred for standing water resistance and long-term UV performance (20-year expected life). Acrylic is preferred for sloped roofs where water does not pond and budget is constrained (10-15 year life). The key to successful coating: surface preparation. A power-washed, dry, primed surface with all failed seams repaired before coating application determines whether the coating lasts 5 years or 20 years. Ibericoat's 97% solids silicone means 97% of what you apply stays on the roof — not evaporating into the atmosphere like lower-solids competitors.

🛡️ Roof Insurance Claim Process (Step-by-Step)

  1. Document the Damage — Take photos/video of all damage from multiple angles before any tarps or temporary repairs. Include close-ups of impact marks, granule loss, and membrane punctures.
  2. Prevent Further Damage — Install emergency tarp or temporary seal. Most policies require you to mitigate further damage. Keep receipts for emergency repairs — they are reimbursable.
  3. File the Claim Promptly — Contact your insurance carrier within 24-72 hours. Provide: date of loss, type of damage (wind/hail/other), photos, and a rough estimate if available.
  4. Schedule Adjuster Inspection — The carrier sends a claims adjuster. Have your roofing contractor present during inspection — they can point out damage the adjuster might miss, especially on membrane seams and flashings.
  5. Get Contractor Estimates — Obtain 2-3 estimates from licensed roofing contractors who work with insurance claims. Ensure estimates use Xactimate pricing (industry-standard insurance estimating software).
  6. Review the Adjuster Report — Compare the adjuster's scope of work with your contractor's estimate. Common disputes: matching undamaged adjacent slopes, code upgrades (building code may require upgrades the adjuster didn't include), and overhead & profit calculation.
  7. Negotiate if Necessary — If the adjuster's estimate is lower than your contractor's, submit a "supplement" with additional documentation. You have the right to use a public adjuster (typically 10% of claim) if negotiations stall.
  8. Approve and Schedule — Once you agree on scope and price, the carrier issues an Actual Cash Value (ACV) payment. After replacement, submit the final invoice for the Recoverable Depreciation (RCV - ACV = depreciation held back until work is complete).
Key Tip: Never sign an "Assignment of Benefits" (AOB) form without reviewing with an attorney — AOB gives the contractor direct access to your insurance payout and can lead to inflated claims and litigation.

📅 Roofing Season Calendar by Region

Plan your roofing project for optimal weather windows. Off-season installs may require special procedures and cost 10-20% more.

🛡️ Insurance & Compliance Advisory

Liquid-applied roof coatings are classified as 'roof restoration' not 'roof replacement' for insurance purposes — an important distinction. Restoration extends the existing roof's service life (typically 10-20 years) at $2-5/sq ft vs $8-12/sq ft for full tear-off and replacement. Insurance carriers generally DO NOT cover coating failures under the building policy unless the coating was part of a wind/hail repair specified by the adjuster. Document pre-coating inspection photos showing the existing roof condition — this is critical for future claims. If a coated roof leaks, the adjuster will ask: was the underlying roof sound when the coating was applied? Without documentation, the claim may be denied as 'pre-existing deterioration.'
