ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

Most Aliso Viejo flat roofs do not need tearing off — they need cleaning, repairing and sealing. Hillside exposure means long afternoon sun and the first of the Santa Ana winds, which is hard on a flat roof's surface and its flashings.

Does your Aliso Viejo roof need coating?

Good candidates for coating tend to have:

• Flashing and penetrations that leak while the field of the roof is still solid
• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath
• Low spots that hold water for days after a storm
• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping
• Chalky, sun-baked membrane that has lost its surface but not its body

Pricing a Aliso Viejo roof coating

A coating runs well under the cost of a tear-off and replacement, and there is no dumpster, no demolition and no days of noise over the tenants' heads.

Because the work is additive, most buildings stay open and in use while we are on the roof.

Standards we hold on every Aliso Viejo job

Drip edge and starter course get installed properly - that is half the wind resistance.

• Plants and pool equipment are covered before tear-off begins.
• The written warranty names what is covered and for how long, with no asterisk games.
• Change orders are discussed before anything is done, not billed afterwards.
• Soft decking gets replaced, not covered - we quote a sheet count and show you the bad bays.

A roofer's read on Aliso Viejo

Before materials come into it, the site decides the job: in Aliso Viejo, the grade means water moves fast and finds every lazy flashing detail. 44 miles southeast means a crew, a ladder and a tarp can be there this afternoon.

You will see our trucks in Laguna Woods, Laguna Hills and Mission Viejo on the same run.

• Tear-off debris leaves the same day; nobody is left with a pile over the weekend.
• Permits and inspections run through the local building department, and we pull them rather than leaving it to you.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted where they block a proper drip edge.
• Dry-in happens the same day the old roof comes off; nothing sits open overnight.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted properly instead of being crushed by a ladder.

Leaks found in summer cost a fraction of the same leak found in February. You get photos, measurements and a plain explanation before any work is booked.

Lifespan and recoating

A silicone system at the right thickness over a properly prepped roof gives you ten years and up, and acrylic is close behind on a roof that drains well. Both systems are renewable: when the time comes you wash the roof and add another coat instead of starting over, which is why building owners keep coming back to them.

How we coat a roof in Aliso Viejo

• Inspect and measure, including core tests where we need to know what is under the membrane
• Clean the roof — power wash, remove dirt, chalk and loose coating
• Repair: cracks, open seams, failed flashing, blisters and bad penetrations
• Prime where the substrate calls for it
• Apply the coating in multiple passes to the specified thickness, seams and details first
• Final walk for even coverage and thickness, then clean up the site

Two coating systems, one right answer

• Silicone: the pick for roofs that pond. It handles standing water, resists UV without turning brittle, and lasts longest of the two.
• Acrylic: the pick for roofs that drain clean. Lower cost per square, excellent reflectivity, and easy to recoat later.
• Both go down seamless, so there are no laps or fasteners for water to work into.
• Both drop the roof surface temperature sharply, which shows up on the cooling bill of a conditioned building.

The honest version

If we find saturated insulation or a failing deck on your Aliso Viejo roof, we say so. Coating over a wet roof traps the water and costs you twice.
