Why recoat
A foam roof's coating blocks the sun. Once it's thin, chalky or cracked, ultraviolet light breaks down the foam, and snowmelt and storm water start working into it. Recoating on time keeps the foam — the expensive part — protected.
Signs it's time
- Gray, chalky surface
- Fine cracks, especially at edges
- Foam showing through
- Stains inside after snow
How we recoat
- Inspect and probe for wet foam
- Pressure wash
- Dry, then repair foam
- Seal vents, skylights, flues and edges
- Topcoat at full thickness
Short season
Cold nights at 6,500+ feet narrow the window for water-based coatings. See coating season.
