Flat roofs in Phoenix face extreme challenges from intense UV exposure, soaring summer temperatures, and monsoon storms. At Apex Flat & Foam Roofing, we specialize in elastomeric and silicone roof coatings designed to restore your sound flat roof and reduce attic temperatures by reflecting heat. This cost-effective alternative delays expensive roof replacement and extends roof life by up to 10 years.
Elastomeric coatings are thick, flexible, and highly reflective, making them ideal for the high-heat Sonoran Desert environment. Silicone coatings offer superior waterproofing and UV resistance, especially for roofs with ponding water issues common after monsoon rains. Both coatings create a seamless membrane that seals hairline cracks and small leaks, improving energy efficiency and protecting your roof substrate from further damage.
Our roof inspection is the crucial first step, where we assess your existing roof’s condition, identify damage, and confirm that the substrate is sound and clean for coating adhesion. We only apply coatings to roofs that meet local City of Phoenix Building & Safety Department standards and comply with roofing manufacturer guidelines to preserve warranties.
The coating application process begins with thorough cleaning and pressure washing to remove dirt, debris, and loose materials. Any necessary repairs are made with compatible sealants or patching compounds. Then, we apply a primer suited to your roof type, followed by multiple coats of elastomeric or silicone material using professional spray or roller methods for uniform coverage. Each coat requires proper cure time, typically 24-48 hours depending on weather.
Roof coatings reduce attic temperatures by reflecting up to 85% of solar radiation, lowering cooling costs during Phoenix’s brutal summers. They also protect flat roofs from thermal shock and UV degradation, common causes of membrane failure. Unlike traditional roof replacement, coatings can often be completed within 2-3 days, minimizing disruption and expense.
