Industrial roof coating Sioux Falls solves a specific problem for Sioux Falls industrial building owners: an aging flat or low-slope roof that leaks, ponds, and is creeping toward failure over working production and stored product — without the cost and disruption of a full replacement. Instead of tearing the roof down to the deck, we spray a seamless, reflective silicone membrane over the existing roof. It cures into one continuous skin that bridges seams, locks down fasteners, seals process penetrations and flashings, and reflects the sun, all while your operation keeps running underneath.

Why industrial roof coating Sioux Falls works in this climate

Sioux Falls sits squarely in the Northern Plains hail belt, where severe thunderstorms regularly pound industrial roofs with hail and straight-line winds, on top of cold winters with freeze-thaw cycling and hot summers. For the city's large food-processing plants, storm damage and insurance scrutiny are constant facts of roofing life.

Silicone is the right system for Sioux Falls food-processing roofs because it seals into a tough, monolithic membrane that handles refrigeration and wash-down loads, resists ponding, and provides documented, warrantied restoration that satisfies insurers in the hail belt. A cured silicone membrane stays flexible when temperatures drop, so it moves with the building instead of cracking; it is moisture-cured and resists the ponding water that collects on under-sloped industrial roofs; and its reflective surface eases the cooling and refrigeration load in summer. For a Sioux Falls facility, that means a roof that is sealed against the local weather and cheaper to operate.

Sioux Falls industrial buildings we restore

Sioux Falls is the industrial hub of South Dakota, anchored by massive food-processing and meatpacking plants alongside distribution centers, with large flat membrane and metal roofs that carry heavy refrigeration and process loads. Around the Smithfield (John Morrell) food-processing complex, the I-29 and I-90 distribution corridors, the north-side industrial and meatpacking district, and the Foundation Park industrial development, those are precisely the kinds of low-slope roofs where a coating restoration delivers the most value — sound decks under tired membranes that simply need to be sealed and renewed rather than replaced, on buildings where downtime is the real cost of a roof project.

The problems we see most often on Sioux Falls industrial roofs include hail and wind damage from Plains thunderstorms, refrigeration and wash-down loads on food-plant roofs, insurance and warranty scrutiny after storms, and ponding on large flat processing-plant roofs. A silicone restoration addresses all of them in one monolithic membrane. We restore single-ply TPO and EPDM, modified bitumen and built-up, and metal roofs across warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, food processing, and cold storage facilities.

What the Sioux Falls restoration includes

A coating only lasts when the prep is right, so our Sioux Falls projects run in a deliberate sequence: a documented assessment and moisture survey, a full pressure-clean of the field, repairs to failed membrane and wet insulation, reinforced silicone detailing at seams, fasteners, drains, curbs, and the dense process penetrations industrial roofs carry, and finally a seamless field coat applied to the manufacturer-specified thickness. Because we are certified, the manufacturer warranty is valid — and it can be renewed years later with a light recoat rather than a full replacement.

  • Assess & survey — map ponding and wet insulation before coating.
  • Clean & repair — pressure-wash, patch failures, replace wet insulation.
  • Reinforce details — seams, fasteners, penetrations, equipment curbs, flashings.
  • Seamless field coat — reflective, ponding-resistant silicone to spec.
  • Renewable warranty — manufacturer-backed up to 20 years, recoat to extend.

Why Sioux Falls owners choose Industrial Roof Coating Pros

We are an industrial-only restoration contractor — we don’t chase residential shingle work. Industrial Roof Coating Pros holds a Gaco Applicator License (#345800) for silicone restoration, making us the only manufacturer-certified silicone applicator in this market, plus an Elevate full-system license (#40016194) and a GenFlex license for EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen. That certification keeps your warranty valid and guarantees the system is installed the way its chemistry was designed for. We are licensed and insured, and every Sioux Falls project starts with a free, no-pressure assessment and a written scope, with production-uptime scheduling built in.

Restoration also wins on cost. Replacing a working Sioux Falls industrial roof means demolition, landfill disposal, weeks of weather exposure, and — the number that usually matters most — production downtime. A silicone restoration costs a fraction of that, finishes faster, and keeps the building running. Our cost guide and coat-vs-replace page break down the math.

What to expect

How an Sioux Falls coating project goes from assessment to warranty

We keep the process transparent from the first contact to the final walkthrough, because an industrial roof coating is a multi-year commitment and your facilities and finance teams should know exactly what they are buying. Here is how a typical industrial project unfolds once you request a free assessment.

1. Free assessment and moisture survey. We schedule a roof walk around your operations and document everything — ponding areas, wet insulation flagged by infrared or core samples, failed seams, penetrations, and flashings — with photos. You get a written assessment, not a sales pitch, and an honest call on whether a coating is the right move for your roof.

2. Written scope and proposal. We put the recommendation on paper: the system we propose, the prep and repairs included, the warranty term, the per-square-foot pricing, and the production-uptime plan. There are no surprises buried in the fine print, and we are happy to walk your finance team through how the project is classified for capital versus maintenance.

3. Scheduling around production. Industrial buildings keep running during most coating projects. We coordinate crew access, staging, lift placement, and any rooftop equipment so your line, your clean rooms, and your loading docks are disrupted as little as possible — often not at all, with off-hours work where needed.

4. Prep, repair, and reinforcement. The roof is power-washed, failed areas are repaired, wet insulation is replaced, and the trouble spots — seams, fasteners, drains, curbs, process penetrations, and wall transitions — are reinforced with fabric-embedded silicone and detail coats before any field coating goes down.

5. Seamless field coat. The silicone is applied at the manufacturer-specified millage, curing into one continuous, reflective, ponding-resistant membrane across the entire roof field — with low-odor, fast-cure formulations available for occupied and food-grade environments.

6. Final walk and warranty. We walk the finished roof with you, confirm the details, and register the manufacturer warranty. Because we are certified, that warranty is valid — and it can be renewed years from now with a light recoat instead of a full replacement.

Systems & certifications

The systems behind the work — and why certification matters on industrial roofs

A roof coating is a chemistry product, and chemistry only performs when it is installed by a trained, manufacturer-certified applicator to the exact specification it was engineered for. That is the single biggest reason cut-rate coating jobs fail on industrial buildings: an uncertified crew applies the wrong millage, skips the prep, or uses an incompatible primer, and the warranty is worthless because the manufacturer never stood behind the installation in the first place. On an industrial roof carrying live process loads and heavy rooftop equipment, that gamble is not worth taking.

Industrial Roof Coating Pros is built to avoid exactly that. We hold a Gaco Applicator License (#345800) for silicone roof coating restoration — making us the only manufacturer-certified silicone applicator in this market. We also carry an Elevate (Holcim/Firestone) full-system license (#40016194) and a GenFlex license covering EPDM, TPO, and APP/SBS modified bitumen systems. That breadth means we can match the right system to your existing roof rather than forcing one product onto every job, whether you run a warehouse, a manufacturing plant, or a refrigerated food facility.

The practical payoff is a warranty you can actually rely on. Because a certified applicator installs the system to spec, the manufacturer backs it — and the silicone membrane can be recoated down the road to renew that warranty and extend the roof again. You are not just buying a coating; you are buying a documented, warrantied, renewable roofing program from a licensed and insured contractor that specializes in industrial work. Every project starts with a free, no-pressure assessment and a written scope, so you know precisely what the system includes before any work is scheduled. As a property of Sellers Roofing Company, we bring decades of regional commercial roofing depth to every industrial bid.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle large industrial roofs in Sioux Falls?

Yes. We restore low-slope industrial roofs of nearly any size in Sioux Falls — from mid-size plants to large Sioux Falls warehouses and distribution centers. For projects exceeding 50,000 square feet we also mobilize regionally through our parent, Sellers Roofing Company. The assessment is always free, whatever the roof size.

Submit the form on this page and we will email you back to schedule a free Sioux Falls roof walk around your operations. There is no charge and no pressure — just a documented assessment and an honest coat-or-replace recommendation.

How long does an industrial roof coating last?

A properly prepped and applied silicone system carries a manufacturer warranty of up to 20 years, and because silicone is recoatable, a light refresh at the end of the term renews the warranty and extends the roof again. One sound deck can deliver decades of waterproof service from a single restoration program rather than repeated tear-offs.

Will the plant have to shut down during the work?

Almost never. Because we coat over the existing roof rather than tearing it off, crews work above while your operations continue underneath. We coordinate staging, access, and any rooftop equipment around your shifts — including off-hours and weekend work for sensitive production or clean-room environments.

Can you coat a roof that is already leaking?

Yes — as long as the deck is sound and the insulation is mostly dry, a coating restoration seals leaks at their source. We confirm the roof qualifies with a free infrared or core moisture survey before recommending the work, and we cut out and replace wet insulation so we are not sealing in a problem.

How does the cost compare to a full replacement?

A coating restoration typically runs roughly half the cost of a tear-off because you are not paying to demolish, dispose, and rebuild — and you avoid the production downtime that often dwarfs the roofing line item itself. The exact figure depends on roof size, condition, and complexity, which is why we price every industrial job from an on-roof assessment.

What does manufacturer certification actually get me?

Certification means the manufacturer has trained and audited how we prep and apply the system, and it is what makes your warranty valid. As the only Gaco-certified silicone applicator in MN and SD, we install the system exactly as its chemistry was engineered for, on roofs that have to perform under industrial loads.
