Subject: roof coatings

I have a asphalt based rool roof on my ext bedroom attached to main house.the ext has almost no pitch and the water stands from time to time.the roof is in good condition with a few blisters and no leaks.Its about 5yrs old.And i figure in about 5yrs or so I'll need to replace it.I was wondering if an aluminum based roof coating would be a good idea to cover this roof.to maybe give me an extra 5yrs or so.I live in long island new york so i get a full range of temps and precip.
Any input would ge greatly appreciated.

I fully believe in quality roof coatings being applied to flat roofs as a cost effective way of increasing the longivity of these roofs. I have even applied the "asphalt based" roof coatings to older lower pitch mobile homes with metal roofs from the 70s and early 80s. These products are simple enough for homeowners to do it themselves without the need of a contractor. The most important thing in the application of these products is preparing the roof surface. The better the job you have done in cleaning the surface has a lot to do with how long the coating maintains its self adhesive properties to the pre existing roof.
