Common Questions
Roof Coatings FAQs for Santa Clara.
What is a roof coating?
A roof coating is a fluid-applied membrane that is rolled or sprayed over an existing flat roof to extend its life and stop leaks. Elastomeric coatings are flexible and watertight. Silicone coatings offer better ponding water resistance. Both are significantly less expensive than full roof replacement.
How long does a roof coating last in Santa Clara?
Quality roof coatings in the Bay Area typically last 10 to 15 years with proper application. Many coating systems can be recoated at the end of life for additional years of protection.
How much does roof coating cost in Santa Clara?
Roof coatings typically cost $2 to $5 per square foot installed — significantly less than roof replacement. We provide detailed proposals after a free inspection.
Is my roof a candidate for coating?
Roofs that are structurally sound with mostly intact membrane are good coating candidates. Roofs with widespread failure, ponding water issues, or structural damage are not. We assess candidacy during a free inspection.
