Point Loma Roof Coating

In Point Loma, coating a low-slope roof costs a fraction of replacing it and stops the leaks the same week. Salt air, marine layer and long damp mornings keep a low-slope roof wet longer, so seams and ponding spots are where the trouble starts.

Serving Point Loma and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Point Loma and the surrounding San Diego County communities, including Ocean Beach, Coronado and San Diego.

What we look for on a Point Loma roof

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

• Flashing and penetrations that leak while the field of the roof is still solid
• A building that cooks in summer and runs the air conditioning hard
• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath
• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping
• Low spots that hold water for days after a storm

Lifespan and recoating

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.

Pricing a Point Loma roof coating

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.

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

How we coat a roof in Point Loma

• 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

When we tell you not to coat

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

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.

Working in Point Loma

Before materials come into it, the site decides the job: in Point Loma, the same three details cause most of the leaks we are called out for. Point Loma is around 126 miles southeast of the shop, which keeps scheduling simple.

Crews rotate through Ocean Beach, Coronado and San Diego, so the drive is routine.

• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• Solar gets detached and reset by a licensed crew, not improvised around.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• Satellite dishes and A/C line sets are re-flashed, not just set back down.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.

Dry-season work books up fast, so the calendar tightens once the first storm forecast lands. Call and we will look at the Point Loma roof, show you photos, and put the price in writing.

Details that decide a Point Loma roof

You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.

• Financing exists if you want it, and nobody pushes it on you.
• Moisture readings go in the report where a leak is suspected but not obvious.
• Workmanship coverage is ours to honour, and we are still here to honour it.
• One person runs your job and answers the phone the whole way through.

Talk to a Point Loma roof coating contractor

The estimate is free. Call (818) 277-6626 and we will measure your Point Loma roof, check the deck, seams and drains, and tell you plainly whether coating is the right call.

What we check before quoting

When the crew leaves, the debris leaves with them: magnet passes morning and evening, gutters cleared, driveway swept. You get photos of the finished work and the warranty paperwork registered in your name.

Dry-season work is cheaper and safer, because the whole job happens on dry decking. Once the first storm is on the ten-day forecast the calendar in Point Loma tightens fast, and emergency work costs more than planned work.

After the job in Point Loma

We do not use subcontract crews we have never met. The people on your Point Loma roof are the people we train, and they carry our workers' compensation.
