Why use a polyurethane flat roofing system? Typically, one of the major costs to a business or commercial building is the roof. SprayTight installs seamless spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing for commercial, residential & industrial flat roofs across Michigan — a durable, watertight membrane that protects your investment and cuts energy costs.
Save Money With SPF Flat Roofing Systems
Taking the time to properly insulate the roof and the building is pivotal — especially if you have just spent the initial costs on new construction of a facility. Skip that step and you can expect higher construction and operating costs over time, overall building discomfort, small to major leaks due to weaknesses in the roof and seams, water build-up, and damage to overhangs, over-laps, joints, and exposed edging.
A polyurethane flat roof offers huge money-saving opportunities. Not only can it protect your investment thanks to its long life span, it also protects your building from severe weather damage. With 25+ years of experience and over 1 million square feet of foam applied, our SPFA-member crews get it done right the first time.

Why Choose a Polyurethane Roofing System?
Seamless Waterproofing
100% adhesion to uneven surfaces with no fasteners creates a monolithic, airtight membrane that resists ponding water and protects the building interior from leaks or water damage.
Built for Michigan Weather
Lightweight yet rigid, SPF adds extra strength to stand up to the forces of nature and is resilient enough to resist flying debris, UV exposure, and severe weather.
Energy Savings
The airtight barrier and highly reflective topcoat keep cool air in and hot air out, reducing air conditioner use and lowering your energy utility costs year after year.
Sustainable & Renewable
Re-coat every 10+ years to extend roof life. Coating formulas can qualify for the US Green Building Council’s LEED program while keeping old roofing materials out of landfills.
Fast, Quiet Installation
Low noise, low VOCs, and typically just a day or two to complete — no need to interrupt normal business operations or leave the building.
Cost-Effective
Coatings go directly over your existing roof, so installation takes less time, requires little to no demolition, and cuts labor, material, and landfill fees. Full warranty included.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of SPF flat roofing?
SPF flat roofing saves time and money. A professionally installed coating system can amortize in the first year versus over the lifetime of the roof, and because coatings go directly on top of your existing roof, installation is faster with reduced labor costs, little to no demolition, and lower landfill fees. The reflective topcoat provides UV protection that keeps cool air in and hot air out, reducing air conditioner use and lowering your energy utility costs.
How long does an SPF roof coating installation take?
Most roof coating installations take only a day or two to complete, depending on roof size, compared to the months a tear-off and re-roof can take. The process is quick and low-noise with low VOCs, so you will not even need to leave the building and normal business operations continue uninterrupted while we coat the roof.
How long does a polyurethane roof system last?
SPF roof systems are renewable and sustainable. They can be re-coated every 10+ years to lengthen the life of your roof, and as the application wears down you can renew the reflectivity with a new layer or maintenance service, ensuring excellent waterproofing capabilities for years to come.
Can SPF roofing be installed over my existing roof?
Yes. Spray polyurethane roofing adheres to almost every traditional roofing material and can be installed over concrete, wood, steel, and most existing roof systems. This saves on the expense of roof removal and landfill fees, and a spray-applied tapered system eliminates the need for costly tapered insulation systems.
Is SPF roofing environmentally friendly?
Yes. Roof coatings help you avoid overfilling landfills with old roofing products by restoring and reusing your existing roof. Roof coating formulas can also qualify for the US Green Building Council's LEED program for Sustainable Sites, Energy and Atmosphere, and Materials and Resources, and the highly reflective finish reduces energy costs.
