built-up roof coating?

My Tampa home has two flat roof sections (BUR) that are in OK shape, redone in 2009, no leaks, and the rest of the house is regular shingles. One roof section is over a bedroom, while the other is over a patio. I got one quote for $4,000 to redo it in PVC/vinyl.

But what about just getting up there and rolling this coating on it? Seems it would prolong the life as long as I keep a good solid coat on it. Does it work?

I have no idea which product to choose - $250 is on the high end of the other products. I do have a bit of standing water when it rains.

It seems to be less than an inch in depth, I would say it's gone within 48 hours especially if it's sunny the next day, but I will verify. Here are two photos of the same roof (above a bedroom).
