ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

Restoring a San Fernando 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.

What we look for on a San Fernando roof

We usually recommend coating when the roof shows:

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

Why San Fernando roofs wear the way they do

Every town in Los Angeles County treats a roof a little differently, and the roof deck can run forty degrees hotter than the air in August. Being 19 miles northwest of San Fernando, we can be on the roof before the next rain band arrives.

You will see our trucks in Pacoima, Mission Hills and Sylmar on the same run.

• Solar gets detached and reset by a licensed crew, not improvised around.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted properly instead of being crushed by a ladder.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.

Insurance work moves faster when the damage is documented before the next storm. We will tell you if the San Fernando roof has years left in it rather than sell you a new one.

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.

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

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 we tell you not to coat

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

How we work in San Fernando

One person runs your job and answers the phone the whole way through.

• We show you the soft spots before they are covered, not after.
• Drip edge and starter course get installed properly - that is half the wind resistance.
• Moisture readings go in the report where a leak is suspected but not obvious.
• The quote lists materials and labour separately so you can see what you are buying.

What roof coating costs in San Fernando

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.
