ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

Restoring a Canoga Park low-slope roof means fixing what is wrong first, then coating the whole surface seamless. Valley heat bakes a low-slope roof all summer, chalking the surface and opening seams, and the building underneath pays for it in cooling.

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.

Does your Canoga Park roof need coating?

A coating earns its keep on a roof with these problems:

• 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
• Chalky, sun-baked membrane that has lost its surface but not its body
• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath
• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping

When coating is the wrong call

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

Serving Canoga Park and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Canoga Park and the surrounding Los Angeles County communities, including Winnetka, Woodland Hills and West Hills.

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 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

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.

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.

A closer look at Canoga Park

What a roof faces in Canoga Park is specific, not generic: attic heat pushes up through the deck and ages shingles from below. Canoga Park is around 23 miles northwest of the shop, which keeps scheduling simple.

Jobs in Winnetka, Woodland Hills and West Hills run alongside this one most weeks.

• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.
• Solar gets detached and reset by a licensed crew, not improvised around.
• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• Tear-off debris leaves the same day; nobody is left with a pile over the weekend.
• 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. If a repair solves it, we quote the repair instead of selling a replacement.
