ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

A cool roof coating turns a hot, chalked Sun Valley roof into a sealed, reflective surface. Valley heat bakes a low-slope roof all summer, chalking the surface and opening seams, and the building underneath pays for it in cooling.

Serving Sun Valley and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Sun Valley and the surrounding Los Angeles County communities, including North Hollywood, Shadow Hills and Arleta.

Choosing the system for your Sun 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.

When coating makes sense in Sun Valley

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

• A building that cooks in summer and runs the air conditioning hard
• Flashing and penetrations that leak while the field of the roof is still solid
• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath
• Chalky, sun-baked membrane that has lost its surface but not its body
• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping

What you can expect from us

Nothing is left on the lawn overnight, and the dumpster goes when the job ends.

• Synthetic underlayment goes down over the whole deck, not just the valleys.
• Drip edge and starter course get installed properly - that is half the wind resistance.
• The written warranty names what is covered and for how long, with no asterisk games.
• Most homes take two to four days once material lands.

Pricing a Sun Valley roof coating

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

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.

How long a Sun 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.

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

The honest version

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

What we see on Sun Valley roofs

Across Los Angeles County, Sun Valley has its own wear pattern, because the roof deck can run forty degrees hotter than the air in August. Being 14 miles northwest of Sun Valley, we can be on the roof before the next rain band arrives.

You will see our trucks in North Hollywood, Shadow Hills and Arleta on the same run.

• Chimney and wall flashings are replaced, not painted over with sealant.
• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• Permits and inspections run through the local building department, and we pull them rather than leaving it to you.
• Satellite dishes and A/C line sets are re-flashed, not just set back down.
• Solar gets detached and reset by a licensed crew, not improvised around.

Dry-season work books up fast, so the calendar tightens once the first storm forecast lands. Ask for the inspection, keep the report, and decide in your own time.
