Flat Roof Coating & Restoration
Extend the life of a sound membrane with the right reflective or elastomeric coating — not a fix for an active leak or drainage issue.
A roof coating extends the service life of an already-sound membrane by adding UV protection and, depending on the product, additional waterproofing and reflectivity. Silicone coatings are well suited to roofs with some ponding water exposure; acrylic coatings are cost-effective in drier conditions; elastomeric coatings offer flexibility across Downey’s wide seasonal temperature swings.
Coating is not the right fix for an active leak, a drainage problem, or a membrane with significant shrinkage or blistering — in those cases, the underlying issue needs to be addressed first. We’ll assess whether your roof is actually a good coating candidate before recommending it, rather than defaulting to a coating for every situation.
Common Questions
How often does a roof coating need to be reapplied?
This varies by product and exposure, but many coatings are designed to last multiple years before needing a maintenance recoat — we can advise on the specific timeline for your chosen product.
Can coating be applied over any membrane type?
Compatibility varies by coating product and existing membrane — we’ll confirm the right coating for your specific roof system during inspection.
Will a coating fix my ponding water problem?
No — coating can extend membrane life under some ponding exposure but doesn’t correct the underlying drainage or slope issue causing the water to sit there.
