Our Commercial Roof Restoration Process in Tucson
Eligibility Inspection & Moisture Scan
A certified Tucson restoration contractor inspects membrane, seams, flashings, drains, and penetrations to confirm eligibility. Infrared or electronic moisture scanning identifies wet insulation. This inspection is free and includes a written cost comparison versus full replacement.
Surface Cleaning
The entire roof is pressure-washed to remove dirt, debris, and biological growth. Given Tucson's extreme desert heat, monsoon flooding, and UV damage, roofs often accumulate significant contamination that must be fully removed — coatings applied to dirty surfaces fail prematurely and void warranties.
Substrate Repairs
Before coating: open seams are re-welded, membrane punctures patched, failed flashings replaced, wet insulation removed and replaced. These repairs ensure the coating system performs for its full warranted life in Tucson.
Coating Application
Silicone, acrylic, or elastomeric coating is applied in 2–3 coats at specified thickness. Seams and flashings receive reinforced fabric embedded in the base coat. Most Tucson restorations complete without interrupting building operations.
Inspection & Warranty
Final inspection verifies dry film thickness and waterproof integrity. You receive contractor workmanship warranty and manufacturer-backed coating warranty (10–20 years) formatted for Tucson property management files.
