ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

Flat roof restoration in Fallbrook starts with prep, not product. 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.

The honest version

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

How we coat a roof in Fallbrook

• 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.

When coating makes sense in Fallbrook

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

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

On the ground in Fallbrook

We quote Fallbrook roofs off what the roof is actually doing, and sun on the exposed slopes dries out the cheap underlayments early. Our shop sits about 86 miles southeast of Fallbrook, so a crew is on site the same morning.

The roofs in Bonsall, Vista and Temecula are built much the same way, and they fail the same way.

• Access gets planned first - driveway, staging, dumpster placement - so the street stays usable.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.
• Tear-off debris leaves the same day; nobody is left with a pile over the weekend.
• Material is delivered the morning of the job, not left on the driveway for a week.
• Tile is sorted and reused where it is sound, which keeps the roof looking original.

A roof opened in October is a different job from one opened in January. The inspection is free, and so is the second opinion if you already have a quote.

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.

Pricing a Fallbrook roof coating

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

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.

How we work in Fallbrook

Warranty paperwork is registered for you, not left in a folder for you to chase.

• If the attic has no real intake, we fix that rather than leaving a new roof to bake.
• Plants and pool equipment are covered before tear-off begins.
• Change orders are written and signed, never verbal.
• We check the attic as well as the roof; half of what we find shows from underneath.
