ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

A cool roof coating turns a hot, chalked Inglewood roof into a sealed, reflective surface. Hot, dry summers and sharp swings between day and night work the membrane and its laps until the surface gives up.

Serving Inglewood and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Inglewood and the surrounding Los Angeles County communities, including Hawthorne, El Segundo and Culver City.

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.

Local conditions in Inglewood

Across Los Angeles County, Inglewood has its own wear pattern, because the wind arrives dry and loaded with grit that scours the surface. We are 9 miles southwest of Inglewood; crews pass through most days anyway.

We know Hawthorne, El Segundo and Culver City as well as we know Inglewood.

• Tile is sorted and reused where it is sound, which keeps the roof looking original.
• Permits and inspections run through the local building department, and we pull them rather than leaving it to you.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• Dry-in happens the same day the old roof comes off; nothing sits open overnight.
• Material is delivered the morning of the job, not left on the driveway for a week.

Leaks found in summer cost a fraction of the same leak found in February. Everything starts with a free inspection and a written number for your Inglewood property.

Choosing the system for your Inglewood 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 we work in Inglewood

Soft decking gets replaced, not covered - we quote a sheet count and show you the bad bays.

• Change orders are discussed before anything is done, not billed afterwards.
• You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.
• Nothing is left on the lawn overnight, and the dumpster goes when the job ends.
• An inspection here means walking the roof, not pointing a camera at it from the driveway.

How we coat a roof in Inglewood

• 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 honest version

Coating is not for every roof. If the deck is soft, the insulation is wet or the membrane is finished, a coating only hides the problem — we will tell you the Inglewood roof needs replacing instead.

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.

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

What we look for on a Inglewood roof

Good candidates for coating tend to have:

• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath
• Low spots that hold water for days after a storm
• Flashing and penetrations that leak while the field of the roof is still solid
• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping
• A building that cooks in summer and runs the air conditioning hard
