ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

Most Palmdale 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.

Choosing the system for your Palmdale 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.

Serving Palmdale and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Palmdale and the surrounding Los Angeles County communities, including Lancaster, Tujunga and Palmdale.

Pricing a Palmdale roof 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.

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.

The honest version

A coating needs a dry, sound roof underneath. When a Palmdale roof does not have that, the honest answer is a replacement, and we will quote it that way.

Notes from Palmdale jobs

If you own property in Palmdale, the local conditions decide what your roof needs: ridges here catch the first gust of every Santa Ana. From the shop it is a 37-mile run north to Palmdale, so emergencies get a same-day answer.

We know Lancaster, Tujunga and Palmdale as well as we know Palmdale.

• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• Permits and inspections run through the local building department, and we pull them rather than leaving it to you.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• Satellite dishes and A/C line sets are re-flashed, not just set back down.

We would rather find the problem in the dry months and fix it on a schedule. Everything starts with a free inspection and a written number for your Palmdale property.

How we coat a roof in Palmdale

• 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

How we run the job in Palmdale

Any rot found under the old layers is swapped before anything new goes down.

• Payment is tied to progress, not demanded up front.
• Rake and eave metal is new on every job; reusing bent metal is false economy.
• Workmanship coverage is ours to honour, and we are still here to honour it.
• We photograph every slope and penetration so you see what we see before deciding anything.

What we look for on a Palmdale roof

Good candidates for coating tend to have:

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