ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

A cool roof coating turns a hot, chalked Hermosa Beach roof into a sealed, reflective surface. 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.

Choosing the system for your Hermosa 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.

When coating makes sense in Hermosa Beach

Good candidates for coating tend to have:

• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping
• A building that cooks in summer and runs the air conditioning hard
• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath
• Chalky, sun-baked membrane that has lost its surface but not its body
• Low spots that hold water for days after a storm

When coating is the wrong call

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

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.

Serving Hermosa Beach and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Hermosa Beach and the surrounding Los Angeles County communities, including Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and Lawndale.

A closer look at Hermosa Beach

There is nothing abstract about a Hermosa Beach roof: nothing dries quickly here, so a small leak stays wet. We are 16 miles southwest of Hermosa Beach; crews pass through most days anyway.

The roofs in Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and Lawndale are built much the same way, and they fail the same way.

• Gutters are pulled and refitted where they block a proper drip edge.
• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• Dry-in happens the same day the old roof comes off; nothing sits open overnight.
• Tear-off debris leaves the same day; nobody is left with a pile over the weekend.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.

Dry-season work books up fast, so the calendar tightens once the first storm forecast lands. Call and we will look at the Hermosa Beach roof, show you photos, and put the price in writing.

The cost side of coating

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.

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.

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

Our habits on site

Weather delays are called early rather than left to surprise you.

• Neighbours get a heads-up about the dumpster before it lands.
• An inspection here means walking the roof, not pointing a camera at it from the driveway.
• Warranty paperwork is registered for you, not left in a folder for you to chase.
• Deck repairs are priced per sheet so there is no surprise number halfway through.
