ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

Restoring a Arcadia low-slope roof means fixing what is wrong first, then coating the whole surface seamless. 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.

What we look for on a Arcadia roof

Good candidates for coating tend to have:

• 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
• Flashing and penetrations that leak while the field of the roof is still solid
• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping

When we tell you not to coat

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

What the work looks like

• 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

Standards we hold on every Arcadia job

Most homes take two to four days once material lands.

• We do not ask for large deposits before material is delivered.
• Underlayment is where corners get cut; we use the system the manufacturer warrants.
• Plants and pool equipment are covered before tear-off begins.
• Ridge venting goes in where the roof line allows it, with proper intake at the eaves.

Arcadia in detail

Every town in Los Angeles County treats a roof a little differently, and gusts funnel down the canyons and lift anything not fastened right. From the yard it is roughly 13 miles northeast to Arcadia - no travel surcharge, no week-long wait.

We work the same streets in Sierra Madre, Monrovia and Temple City, so crews know the area and its roofs.

• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted where they block a proper drip edge.
• Material is delivered the morning of the job, not left on the driveway for a week.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.
• Dry-in happens the same day the old roof comes off; nothing sits open overnight.

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.

Pricing a Arcadia 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.

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.

Serving Arcadia and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Arcadia and the surrounding Los Angeles County communities, including Sierra Madre, Monrovia and Temple City.

Choosing the system for your Arcadia 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.

How long a Arcadia roof coating lasts

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.
