Los Angeles Commercial Roof Coating
COMMERCIAL ROOF COATING IN LOS ANGELES
Silicone and acrylic roof coatings that seal aging seams, reflect the Southern California sun and add years to a sound roof, without the cost, disruption and landfill waste of a full tear-off.
- Silicone & Acrylic
- Cooler Roof Surface
- No Tear-Off
WHAT A LOS ANGELES COMMERCIAL ROOF COATING DOES
A reflective coating turns a dark, heat-soaking roof into a bright one that throws much of the sun back. In Los Angeles that means a cooler roof surface, less heat moving into the building and slower aging of the membrane underneath. Applied over a sound roof, the coating also seals seams, fasteners and small cracks into one continuous waterproof layer.
The biggest advantage is what you don't do: no tear-off, no dumpsters on the lot, no exposed deck, and far less disruption to the business below.
IS YOUR ROOF A GOOD CANDIDATE?
- The roof deck is structurally sound
- The insulation underneath is mostly dry
- The existing membrane is intact enough for the coating to bond
- There's no widespread blistering or delamination
If the insulation is saturated across large areas, a coating will only trap the water. In that case commercial roof replacement is the better investment, and we'll tell you so.
COMMERCIAL ROOF COATING SYSTEMS
SILICONE COATINGS
Strong UV resistance and better tolerance of standing water, a common choice for flat roofs with low spots.
ACRYLIC ELASTOMERIC
Highly reflective and cost-effective on roofs that drain well, with good flexibility through heat cycles.
SPF FOAM RECOATS
Spray foam roofs need their protective coating renewed periodically to keep UV from breaking the foam down.
METAL ROOF COATINGS
Seals fasteners, laps and seams on metal roofs and slows rust where the coating is applied over prepared metal.

COATING & WALKTHROUGH
Coating applied at the specified thickness, then a final walkthrough and warranty in writing.
COMMERCIAL ROOF COATING QUESTIONS
HOW LONG DOES A COMMERCIAL ROOF COATING LAST?
It depends on the product, the thickness applied and the roof underneath. Manufacturer warranties are tied to the coating system and its applied thickness, and your proposal lists both.
DOES A COATING COUNT AS A COOL ROOF?
Many reflective coatings are rated for solar reflectance and thermal emittance and can be used to meet California's cool-roof requirements. We spec rated products where your project needs them.
CAN YOU COAT OVER A LEAKING ROOF?
Not until the leaks are repaired and any wet insulation is replaced. Coating over water traps it in the roof.
IS A COATING CHEAPER THAN REPLACEMENT?
On a roof that qualifies, a restoration coating usually costs considerably less than a full tear-off and re-roof, and it avoids the disruption.
CAN COATINGS BE APPLIED IN WINTER?
Coatings need a dry roof and suitable temperatures to cure, so we schedule around the rain. Much of the year in Los Angeles works well.
