ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

A roof coating buys years back on a Vernon flat roof that is weathered but still sound. Hot, dry summers and sharp swings between day and night work the membrane and its laps until the surface gives up.

Serving Vernon and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Vernon and the surrounding Los Angeles County communities, including Huntington Park, Maywood and Bell.

When coating is the wrong call

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

How long a Vernon 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.

How we coat a roof in Vernon

• 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.

What you can expect from us

Rake and eave metal is new on every job; reusing bent metal is false economy.

• Keep the paperwork: it transfers if you sell the house.
• Plants and pool equipment are covered before tear-off begins.
• You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.
• We check the attic as well as the roof; half of what we find shows from underneath.

What we look for on a Vernon roof

Good candidates for coating tend to have:

• 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
• Chalky, sun-baked membrane that has lost its surface but not its body
• Low spots that hold water for days after a storm
• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath

What roof coating costs in Vernon

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

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.

Vernon roofs, specifically

There is nothing abstract about a Vernon roof: summer radiant heat is the single biggest ager of roofs here. Vernon is around 3 miles south of the shop, which keeps scheduling simple.

The same trucks cover Huntington Park, Maywood and Bell, which keeps callbacks quick.

• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• Chimney and wall flashings are replaced, not painted over with sealant.
• Satellite dishes and A/C line sets are re-flashed, not just set back down.
• Tile is sorted and reused where it is sound, which keeps the roof looking original.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.

Insurance work moves faster when the damage is documented before the next storm. Ask for the inspection, keep the report, and decide in your own time.
