Florida’s coastal climate subjects roofs to year-round stress from UV exposure, heat, humidity, heavy rainfall, and hurricane-force winds. Without regular professional maintenance, minor issues like cracked flashing, damaged pipe boots, and debris buildup escalate into costly repairs or premature roof replacement.
Leak Busters Roof Repair provides annual roof maintenance services and roof coating applications for residential and commercial properties across Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie, Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, Sarasota, and surrounding cities. Our maintenance programs include full roof inspections, gutter and debris clearing, flashing assessment, pipe boot checks, and identification of any developing issues before they become emergencies.
Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of every roof type. Asphalt shingle roofs last 20 to 50 years, metal roofs 40 to 70 years, and tile roofs 50 to 100+ years – but only with proper upkeep. Call 772-332-8450 to schedule your annual maintenance inspection.

Most shingle roofs last 10-20 years, but maintenance becomes even more critical as they age.
You can’t always see your roof condition from below, so get experts to measure your roof’s strength and protect it against Florida’s weather.
Leak Busters recommends annual professional roof inspections and after every major storm. The following are the key maintenance areas our team evaluates during a roof maintenance visit:
Vent pipe boots are rubber, plastic, or metal seals around plumbing vents that penetrate the roof. Florida’s heat and UV exposure cause these seals to crack and deteriorate over time. During a maintenance inspection, Leak Busters checks all pipe boots and roof penetrations for cracking, gaps, or deterioration and replaces them before leaks develop.
Clogged gutters and downspouts cause water to pool on the roof surface instead of draining properly. Debris from trees, storms, and wind also accumulates in valleys and along ridges, trapping moisture against the roofing material. Leak Busters clears all gutters, downspouts, and roof surfaces of debris during maintenance visits and checks for proper drainage.
Flashing is the thin metal material installed at roof joints, valleys, chimneys, skylights, and wall transitions to direct water into gutters. Over time, flashing can crack, rust, or pull away from the roof surface. Damaged flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. Leak Busters inspects all flashing during maintenance visits and repairs or replaces compromised sections.
Chimneys, attic vents, and exhaust fans are all potential entry points for water if their seals, caps, or flashing become damaged. During maintenance, Leak Busters inspects chimney flashing, vent caps, and any roof-mounted ventilation equipment to ensure all penetrations are sealed and functioning properly.
The expected temperature and condition of your current roof will determine if silicone or acrylic roof coating is right for your home.

Silicone and Acrylic Roof Coatings: Which Is Right for Your Roof?
Roof coatings extend the life of your existing roof by adding a protective layer that resists UV damage, moisture, and heat. Leak Busters applies both silicone and acrylic roof coatings for residential and commercial properties. The right choice depends on your roof type, drainage characteristics, and climate exposure.
Silicone Roof Coatings
Advantages: Silicone is a moisture-cured coating that does not absorb water, making it the best option for roofs where water ponds or pools. It reflects up to 90% of UV rays, reducing cooling costs. Silicone requires only a single coat for full protection, reducing application time and cost. It remains flexible in Florida’s heat without cracking or becoming brittle.
Considerations: Silicone attracts dirt over time, which can reduce its UV reflectivity if not cleaned periodically. Silicone surfaces are slippery when wet, so walk pads are recommended near high-traffic areas such as HVAC equipment.
Acrylic Roof Coatings
Best for: Sloped roofs with good drainage, metal roofs, and roofs with modified bitumen underlayment.
Advantages: Acrylic is a water-based coating that provides strong UV resistance at a lower material cost than silicone. It adheres well to metal and bitumen surfaces and provides effective waterproofing. Acrylic is available in a range of colors and is easy to recoat when needed.
Considerations: Acrylic is water-based, which means it can re-emulsify in standing water. This makes it unsuitable for flat roofs or roofs with ponding issues. Over long periods, acrylic may experience delamination and will need recoating sooner than silicone in high-moisture environments.
Quick Comparison
Silicone: Best for flat/low-slope roofs, single coat, handles ponding water, reflects 90% UV, slippery when wet.
Acrylic: Best for sloped roofs, lower cost, ideal for metal/bitumen, not suitable for ponding, needs recoating sooner.

Leak Busters recommends a professional roof inspection at least once a year and after every major storm. Florida’s combination of extreme heat, UV exposure, heavy rain, and hurricane-force winds accelerates wear on all roofing materials. Annual inspections catch developing issues like cracked flashing, deteriorated pipe boots, and debris damage before they turn into expensive repairs. Call 772-332-8450 to schedule your annual inspection.
A Leak Busters maintenance inspection includes a full assessment of the roof surface for missing, cracked, or damaged materials, inspection of all flashing at joints, valleys, chimneys, and skylights, pipe boot and vent seal condition checks, gutter and downspout clearing and drainage assessment, chimney and ventilation inspection, and identification of any debris buildup, algae growth, or early signs of water intrusion.
Silicone and acrylic are the two main types of roof coatings. Silicone is moisture-cured, does not absorb water, and is the best choice for flat or low-slope roofs where water may pond. It reflects up to 90% of UV rays and requires only one coat. Acrylic is water-based, more affordable, and ideal for sloped roofs with good drainage, especially metal or bitumen surfaces. Acrylic is not suitable for roofs with standing water. Leak Busters applies both types and recommends the right option for your specific roof. Call 772-332-8450 for a free assessment.
Silicone roof coatings typically last 15 to 20 years before needing recoating, depending on UV exposure and maintenance. Acrylic coatings generally last 10 to 15 years on sloped roofs with proper drainage. Both coatings extend the life of your existing roof by protecting it from UV damage, moisture, and heat. Leak Busters assesses your roof’s current condition and recommends the right coating and expected maintenance schedule.
Yes. Regular professional maintenance is the single most effective way to extend your roof’s lifespan. With proper maintenance, asphalt shingle roofs last 20 to 50 years depending on the type, metal roofs last 40 to 70 years, and tile roofs last 50 to 100+ years. Without maintenance, minor issues like cracked flashing, clogged gutters, and deteriorated pipe boots can escalate into major damage that shortens the roof’s life significantly.
Roof coating costs depend on the size of the roof, the type of coating (silicone or acrylic), roof accessibility, and the condition of the existing surface. Silicone typically costs more per application but requires only a single coat. Acrylic costs less per coat but may require multiple coats or more frequent recoating.

“This company knows the value of customer service! I will refer everyone I know to them.”
Had a roof leak and I called Leak Busters. I was a bit apprehensive about their name. However, I have to say, I am very impressed and will use them again. They came timely, did the work as promised and even let me pay remotely as we were unable to coordinate a time to meet. I am very satisfied thus far.
