Manchester Premium Roofing provides professional roof coatings & sealing in Manchester, NH for residential and commercial properties across southern New Hampshire. We will not coat an asphalt shingle roof, and on most of the inquiries we get for this service our recommendation is to spend nothing at all. That is an odd thing for a page to say, so here is the reasoning rather than just the refusal.
Start with what a coating is sold with. It comes with a material warranty, and a material warranty defines its subject as the coating film itself. Under RSA 359-G:2, III a construction defect in New Hampshire carries the meaning assigned by the written express warranty, and there is no statutory warranty here to widen it. So the deck, the sheathing and the leak you were actually worried about sit outside the definition you just bought.
That is not a technicality. It means the document you are handed at the end formally excludes the failure that made you call, while appearing to be protection. In a state with a licensing board you might have somewhere else to go. Here, that paper is close to the whole of it. Read the exclusions on any coating warranty before you read the price.
On shingles there is a physical objection as well. A film over a granulated surface traps moisture in a covering designed to breathe from its face, and it ends the roof's salvage value entirely. Nobody can lay a new shingle roof over a coated one, so the next contractor is quoting a full tear-off with an extra disposal problem attached. You are not saving a roof; you are removing the cheapest option the next owner had.
We also refuse the chimney sealing upsell. Brushing a masonry water repellent onto old Manchester brick that was laid in soft lime mortar traps moisture inside the wall, and the face spalls off at the next freeze. If water is entering at your chimney, the problem is the flashing or the crown, and sealing the brick is a way of spending money on the wrong surface.
Where coatings do belong is a commercial low-slope membrane with life left in it, applied as a restoration with the substrate tested first and the exclusions read out loud. That is a real system with a real place. It is not what is being offered when someone knocks on a residential door with a bucket. The difference between the two situations is the whole of the argument.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, net free ventilating area computed to IRC R806.2, a saddle framed to the 30-inch chimney threshold — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Manchester and nearby communities including Bedford, Goffstown, Hooksett, Merrimack.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof coatings & sealing
The difference between roof coatings & sealing that lasts and roof coatings & sealing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Manchester job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southern New Hampshire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Manchester Chooses Manchester Premium Roofing
- ✓We tell you plainly that New Hampshire issues no roofing license, then show you the three things about a contractor you actually can verify here.
- ✓The warranty is written before the sale, not handed over at the end, because the statute reads that document to decide whether your complaint counts as a defect.
- ✓Our inspections are paid and the written report belongs to you, so our finding is allowed to be that your roof needs nothing this year.
- ✓Where a roof meets old brick we set flashing into a raked joint and repoint in soft lime mortar, and we will not run a grinder through a wall that cannot take one.
The standards behind roof coatings & sealing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof coatings & sealing work we do in Manchester follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
