ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

In Ocean Beach, coating a low-slope roof costs a fraction of replacing it and stops the leaks the same week. Salt air, marine layer and long damp mornings keep a low-slope roof wet longer, so seams and ponding spots are where the trouble starts.

What we look for on a Ocean Beach roof

Good candidates for coating tend to have:

• Flashing and penetrations that leak while the field of the roof is still solid
• Chalky, sun-baked membrane that has lost its surface but not its body
• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath
• A building that cooks in summer and runs the air conditioning hard
• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping

Silicone or acrylic for a Ocean Beach roof?

• 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.

What we see on Ocean Beach roofs

Nobody roofs Ocean Beach the way they roof a tract in the desert, and salt air and long damp mornings keep fasteners and flashings working hard. 121 miles southeast means a free inspection costs you nothing but an hour.

We work the same streets in Point Loma, Mission Beach and San Diego, so crews know the area and its roofs.

• Gutters are pulled and refitted properly instead of being crushed by a ladder.
• Solar gets detached and reset by a licensed crew, not improvised around.
• Chimney and wall flashings are replaced, not painted over with sealant.
• Material is delivered the morning of the job, not left on the driveway for a week.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.

Summer is for planned work; winter is for emergencies nobody planned. No pressure, no same-day-only discount, no hard close.

Serving Ocean Beach and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Ocean Beach and the surrounding San Diego County communities, including Point Loma, Mission Beach and San Diego.

The cost side of coating

Coating is priced by the square foot once we know the condition and how much prep the roof needs, and the number comes to you in writing before anything starts.

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

The honest version

Coating is not for every roof. If the deck is soft, the insulation is wet or the membrane is finished, a coating only hides the problem — we will tell you the Ocean Beach roof needs replacing instead.

The coating process, step by step

• 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

What you get out of it

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 run the job in Ocean Beach

We photograph every slope and penetration so you see what we see before deciding anything.

• Ridge venting goes in where the roof line allows it, with proper intake at the eaves.
• Workmanship coverage is ours to honour, and we are still here to honour it.
• Synthetic underlayment goes down over the whole deck, not just the valleys.
• Change orders are written and signed, never verbal.
