Commercial Roof Coating Services We Provide
Professional coating application requires proper surface preparation and quality materials to deliver lasting protection. Our experienced crews follow manufacturer specifications exactly to ensure warranty coverage and maximum performance from your coating investment.
Elastomeric Roof Coatings
We apply premium elastomeric roof coatings that stretch and contract with temperature changes without cracking or losing adhesion to the roof surface. These flexible coatings work exceptionally well on flat roofs where thermal movement can stress rigid materials and create leak points over time.
Our elastomeric systems provide excellent waterproofing while reflecting solar heat to reduce air conditioning costs during Long Beach's warm weather months. These coatings typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance and can be recoated when needed to extend protection indefinitely.
Silicone Roof Coatings
Our silicone coating systems provide superior weathering resistance and maintain flexibility in extreme temperatures better than other coating types available today. Silicone coatings excel on roofs with ponding water issues because they resist moisture absorption and don't degrade from constant water exposure.
These coatings also provide excellent UV protection that prevents roof membrane degradation and extends overall roof life significantly compared to unprotected surfaces. Silicone systems require minimal maintenance and can often eliminate the need for costly roof replacement when applied to structurally sound existing roofs.
Acrylic Roof Coatings
We install high-performance acrylic roof coatings that offer excellent reflectivity and cost-effective protection for well-drained commercial roofs throughout the Long Beach area. Acrylic systems provide good adhesion to most existing roof surfaces and can be applied in multiple thin coats for optimal coverage.
These water-based coatings dry quickly and allow for faster project completion while providing reliable waterproofing and energy savings through solar reflectance. Acrylic coatings work well for property managers who need quality protection at competitive pricing with proven long-term performance.
Roof Coating Maintenance
Regular maintenance protects your coating investment and ensures maximum service life from quality coating systems. Simple maintenance tasks prevent minor issues from becoming expensive problems that require premature recoating or repair work.
Annual Inspections
We recommend annual roof coating inspections to identify any damage from weather, foot traffic, or equipment installation that could compromise coating integrity. Professional inspections include checking for coating wear, ponding water, clogged drains, and damage around penetrations where problems commonly develop over time. Early identification of maintenance needs allows for cost-effective repairs that extend coating life and prevent more expensive restoration work later.
Cleaning and Debris Removal
Regular cleaning removes leaves, dirt, and debris that can trap moisture against coating surfaces and accelerate wear in high-traffic areas. We recommend professional cleaning every 2-3 years or more frequently for roofs with heavy debris exposure from nearby trees or construction activity. Proper cleaning techniques avoid coating damage while removing contaminants that can cause staining, algae growth, or premature coating degradation from chemical exposure.
Our Coating Application Process
Proper coating application requires careful preparation and quality control at every step to ensure lasting performance. Our systematic approach delivers consistent results that meet manufacturer specifications and warranty requirements every time.
Surface Preparation and Cleaning
We begin every coating project with thorough roof cleaning using pressure washing and specialized cleaning agents to remove dirt, algae, and contaminants that prevent proper coating adhesion. Our preparation process includes scraping loose materials, filling cracks and holes, and repairing damaged areas to create a sound substrate for coating application. We also check and repair all flashing, seams, and penetrations to ensure the entire roof system is watertight before coating begins. Proper preparation takes time but determines coating performance and longevity more than any other factor in the installation process.
Primer and Base Coat Application
Most coating systems require primer application to ensure proper adhesion between existing roof materials and the new coating system being installed. We apply primers and base coats using professional spray equipment that provides uniform coverage and proper thickness according to manufacturer specifications for each project. Our crews monitor weather conditions carefully because temperature and humidity affect coating application and cure times significantly during the installation process. Base coat application creates the foundation for finish coats and often includes reinforcement fabric at seams and penetrations for added durability and leak protection.
Final Coat and Quality Control
We apply finish coats in multiple thin layers rather than single thick applications to ensure proper curing and avoid coating defects like bubbling or poor adhesion. Our quality control process includes thickness measurements, visual inspection, and documentation photography to verify that all work meets manufacturer requirements and industry standards. We also perform final cleanup and inspection to ensure coating edges are properly sealed and all equipment areas are restored to original condition. Final inspection includes checking for holidays (missed spots) and ensuring uniform appearance and coverage across the entire coated roof surface.
