Beverly Hills Roof Coating

In Beverly Hills, coating a low-slope roof costs a fraction of replacing it and stops the leaks the same week. Hot, dry summers and sharp swings between day and night work the membrane and its laps until the surface gives up.

The honest version

Coating is not for every roof. If the deck is soft, the insulation is wet or the membrane is finished, a coating only hides the problem — we will tell you the Beverly Hills roof needs replacing instead.

What you get out of it

A silicone system 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 systems are renewable: when the time comes you wash the roof and add another coat instead of starting over, which is why building owners keep coming back to them.

What separates a good job from a cheap one

Moisture readings go in the report where a leak is suspected but not obvious.

• Edges are fastened to spec because that is where uplift starts.
• Underlayment is where corners get cut; we use the system the manufacturer warrants.
• Change orders are discussed before anything is done, not billed afterwards.
• Most homes take two to four days once material lands.

Serving Beverly Hills and nearby

We coat commercial and residential low-slope roofs throughout Beverly Hills and the surrounding Los Angeles County communities, including West Hollywood, West Beverly Hills and Culver City.

Does your Beverly Hills roof need coating?

A coating earns its keep on a roof with these problems:

• A roof with years left in the deck and insulation underneath
• Flashing and penetrations that leak while the field of the roof is still solid
• Seams and laps that have opened up and started weeping
• Chalky, sun-baked membrane that has lost its surface but not its body
• A building that cooks in summer and runs the air conditioning hard

What the work looks like

• Inspect and measure, including core tests where we need to know what is under the membrane
• Clean the roof — power wash, remove dirt, chalk and loose coating
• Repair: cracks, open seams, failed flashing, blisters and bad penetrations
• Prime where the substrate calls for it
• Apply the coating in multiple passes to the specified thickness, seams and details first
• Final walk for even coverage and thickness, then clean up the site

The cost side of coating

Coating is priced by the square foot once we know the condition and how much prep the roof needs, and the number comes to you in writing before anything starts.

Because the work is additive, most buildings stay open and in use while we are on the roof.

Silicone or acrylic for a Beverly Hills roof?

• Silicone: the pick for roofs that pond. It handles standing water, resists UV without turning brittle, and lasts longest of the two.
• Acrylic: the pick for roofs that drain clean. Lower cost per square, excellent reflectivity, and easy to recoat later.
• Both go down seamless, so there are no laps or fasteners for water to work into.
• Both drop the roof surface temperature sharply, which shows up on the cooling bill of a conditioned building.

The Beverly Hills version of this job

Ask ten Beverly Hills owners about their roof and you get the same complaints: the weather here punishes details, not products. 9 miles west means a crew, a ladder and a tarp can be there this afternoon.

You will see our trucks in West Hollywood, West Beverly Hills and Culver City on the same run.

• Tile is sorted and reused where it is sound, which keeps the roof looking original.
• Access gets planned first - driveway, staging, dumpster placement - so the street stays usable.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• Tear-off debris leaves the same day; nobody is left with a pile over the weekend.

We would rather find the problem in the dry months and fix it on a schedule. The inspection is free, and so is the second opinion if you already have a quote.

What goes wrong when it is done cheap

Dry-season work is cheaper and safer, because the whole job happens on dry decking. Once the first storm is on the ten-day forecast the calendar in Beverly Hills tightens fast, and emergency work costs more than planned work.

Price follows the roof, not a rate card: access, pitch, material, how many layers come off and what the deck looks like underneath. We measure in person, show you photos and put the number in writing before anything is booked.

Timing the work in Beverly Hills

We do not use subcontract crews we have never met. The people on your Beverly Hills roof are the people we train, and they carry our workers' compensation.
