Los Angeles Roof Coating

Seal It. Reflect the Heat. Skip the Tear-Off.

Los Angeles roof coating is the cheapest honest way to get years back out of a flat or low-slope roof that is tired but not finished. We clean the roof, fix the cracks and open seams, and roll or spray a seamless silicone or acrylic membrane over the whole surface. The roof stays where it is, the leaks stop, and the building runs cooler.

Los Angeles Commercial Roofing & Roof Repair coats roofs from our shop on La Brea Ave — apartment buildings, warehouses, strip centers, churches, HOA clubhouses and houses with flat sections. Most jobs are done in a few days with nobody moving out and no dumpster in the parking lot.

Why Los Angeles Roofs Need Coating

Los Angeles sits in a bowl at the foot of the Verdugo and San Gabriel Mountains, and it bakes. Summer days run hotter than the coast, the sun works on the roof every day of the year, and the Santa Ana winds drive grit across it all fall and winter. On a flat roof that means chalked, cracked membrane, split seams and water sitting in low spots long after the rain has stopped.

Silicone or Acrylic for a Los Angeles Roof?

Both are good systems. Which one we recommend comes down to how your roof drains and what you want to spend:

• Silicone for roofs that pond. It shrugs off standing water, holds up to UV without getting brittle, and is the longer-lived of the two.
• Acrylic for roofs that drain clean. It costs less per square, reflects beautifully, and recoats easily down the road.
• Either one goes down seamless, so there are no laps or fasteners for water to find.
• Both cut the roof surface temperature hard, which shows up on the summer power bill of an air-conditioned building.

What It Costs, and When Not to Coat

A coating runs a fraction of a tear-off and replacement, and it is priced by the square foot once we know the condition and how much prep the roof needs. We measure, test a few spots, and give you the number in writing.

Straight talk: coating is not for every roof. If the deck is soft, the insulation is soaked, or the membrane is shot, a coating just hides the problem and you pay twice. When we find that, we will tell you the roof needs replacing instead of selling you a coating.

Buildings We Coat in Los Angeles

If the roof is flat or low-slope, it is a candidate. These are the buildings we are on most weeks:

• 

  Commercial Flat Roofs

  Shops, offices and warehouses where a tear-off means closing the doors for a week.

• 

  Apartment Buildings

  Coat over the existing roof with tenants in place and no dumpster in the lot.

• 

  Industrial Buildings

  Large spans where reflectivity pulls real money off the cooling bill.

• 

  Schools & HOA Properties

  Board-friendly budgets, scheduled around breaks and quiet hours.

Before and After

The same roof, chalked and cracked, then sealed under a seamless reflective coat.

How Long It Lasts

A silicone system put down 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 are renewable: when the time comes you wash the roof and add another coat, instead of starting over. We check the roof after the first rainy season so small things stay small.

Serving Los Angeles and the Foothills

We coat roofs in Los Angeles, Tujunga, Shadow Hills, Lake View Terrace, La Crescenta, Sylmar and the rest of the northeast San Fernando Valley, commercial and residential. Call before the first storm — coatings go down on a dry roof, and the calendar fills fast once the rain starts.
