What the coating does
Most flat roofs in Valencia County are sprayed foam or older built-up roofing with a coating on top. The coating reflects sunlight, blocks ultraviolet light and sheds water. It's the part of the roof that wears out first — and the cheapest part to replace.
Signs your flat roof needs a coat
- The roof looks gray or dirty instead of white
- Chalky residue rubs off on your hand
- Cracks or a crazed pattern across the surface
- Bare tan foam in spots
- Rooms under the roof feel hotter than they used to
Our process
- Inspect and test for soft or wet areas
- Pressure wash off dust, leaves and loose coating
- Let it dry completely
- Repair damaged foam and open seams
- Seal vents, skylights, drains and corners
- Apply the coating at full thickness, usually in two coats

Common questions
How long will a new coat last?
Often five to ten years, depending on the product, thickness and drainage.
Will a white roof really cool my house?
A clean white coat reflects much of the sun's heat, which often helps rooms right under the roof.
Can you coat over my old roof?
Usually, after cleaning and repairs, if the roof is dry and sound.
