Everest Systems Co., headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a leader in high-performance commercial roofing systems. With over 30 years of experience in the coatings industry, the company specializes in liquid-applied membrane technologies, including acrylic and silicone roof coatings, polyurea and spray polyurethane foam. Everest’s systems are engineered for energy efficiency, waterproofing and long-term durability — often warrantied for up to 20 years.

Everest takes a “composite technology” approach to roof restoration, significantly reducing roof surface temperatures and thermal stress to extend lifespan and minimize maintenance. Its product portfolio includes EverMetal, EverCoat, EverFoam, EverPly and EverTight, as well as primers, sealants and reflective coatings tailored to a wide range of roof substrates, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen and metal.

Founded by John Linnell, a former Rohm and Haas coatings expert, Everest emphasizes innovation, contractor partnerships and superior performance. Its solutions are used across commercial, institutional and municipal buildings nationwide, including hospitals, law enforcement facilities, correctional institutions and retail centers.

The company maintains strong relationships with certified contractors and offers detailed specifications and technical support to ensure successful installation and long-term results. Everest continues to grow its footprint in the U.S. roof coatings market by delivering cost-effective, environmentally responsive solutions.
