Foam roof re-coating and maintenance in the Phoenix Valley.
Spray foam roofs depend on their top coating to survive Arizona sun. We re-coat and maintain existing foam roofs to keep the foam protected. We don't install or replace foam roofs.
Why foam roofs need re-coating
Spray polyurethane foam is a good insulator and seals well, but it breaks down quickly under direct UV. The elastomeric coating on top is what protects it. As that coating weathers and thins, the foam underneath is exposed to sun and water. Re-coating on schedule protects the foam you already have.
Signs your foam roof needs attention
- A faded, chalky or worn top coating
- Exposed foam, which often looks yellow or orange and turns dark as it degrades
- Blisters, cracks or bird pecks in the surface
- Ponding water that sits after a storm
- Leaks below a foam section, or no re-coat in several years
What our foam roof service includes
We inspect the foam surface and coating, photograph problem areas, clean the surface, make minor surface preparations, and apply a new protective coating. If the foam itself has failed and the roof needs to be replaced, we tell you plainly and refer you to a foam installation specialist.
Questions homeowners ask
Do you install new spray foam roofs?
No. We re-coat and maintain existing spray foam roofs. If a foam roof needs to be replaced, we refer you to a foam installation specialist.
How often does a foam roof need re-coating?
It depends on the coating and how exposed the roof is. Watch for a worn or chalky surface or exposed foam, and have it inspected. We give you a written report with photos.
Can you re-coat a foam roof that is leaking?
Often, if the leak comes from worn coating or small surface damage. If the foam is saturated or failed, re-coating won't fix it, and we tell you so.
