ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

A cool roof coating turns a hot, chalked Simi Valley roof into a sealed, reflective surface. 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.

When we tell you not to coat

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

Silicone or acrylic for a Simi Valley 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.

What roof coating costs in Simi Valley

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.

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

Serving Simi Valley and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Simi Valley and the surrounding Ventura County communities, including Moorpark and Thousand Oaks.

How long a Simi Valley roof coating lasts

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

The parts people ask about

You get a text when the crew is coming and a walk-through when they are done.

• Warranty paperwork is registered for you, not left in a folder for you to chase.
• Drip edge and starter course get installed properly - that is half the wind resistance.
• Most homes take two to four days once material lands.
• We check the attic as well as the roof; half of what we find shows from underneath.

Why Simi Valley roofs fail where they do

We quote Simi Valley roofs off what the roof is actually doing, and the weather here punishes details, not products. 34 miles northwest means a crew, a ladder and a tarp can be there this afternoon.

We are in Moorpark and Thousand Oaks constantly, and the housing stock is much the same.

• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.
• Where an HOA sets colour or material rules, we match the approved list before the job is quoted.
• 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.

Summer is for planned work; winter is for emergencies nobody planned. The first step is a free look at the Simi Valley roof and a number you can hold us to.

When coating makes sense in Simi Valley

Good candidates for coating tend to have:

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