Los Angeles & Orange County Roof
Coatings & Restoration
Los Angeles & Orange County, CA : Commercial roof restoration (aka roof renovation) can be a smart alternative to a tear-off provided the flat or low-slope roof is a good candidate.
During the complimentary estimate, Central Roofing Company qualified estimators can determine if your existing roof is a prime candidate for a roof restoration service.
Part of our due diligence is to confirm with the city (where the building is located in) how many layers of roofing are allowed on your building. This would also apply to recovering a flat roof with a torch modified system.
If applicable, Central Roofing recommends a Silicone Roof Restoration because in our experience, it out performs and outlasts other roof coating alternatives. Silicone Systems, if properly applied, have a 20 year warranty and with proper care and maintenance can exceed that longevity.
Below are the types of roof systems we are currently certified and licensed to install for a commercial roof restoration, renovation or recover in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. All of these roof systems can meet Title-24 compliance.
- Silicone Roof Restoration Systems
- Elastomeric/Acrylic Roof Coating Systems

Central Roofing Coating Restoration Steps
Roof Preparation
Not to be overlooked, roof preparation is the correction of roof issues prior to installation of the new coating system. This is a critical step to insure a quality installation that will maximize the useful life of the new roof.

Remove dirt, leaves, loose gravel at base flashing of parapet walls, foreign matters, debris, etc. from drains and waterways on an as needed basis.
FIELD: Inspect field membrane for fractures, loose seams or blisters and repair with modified bitumen roof membrane, white flashing grade or microfibers and silicone as required.
PONDING: Supply and install modified bitumen roof membrane at severe ponding areas as required.
PIPES AND VENTS: Seal pipes and vents with flashing grade or microfibers and silicone as required.
Apply Emulsion & Polyester Reinforcement
The combination of applying layers of asphalt emulsion and polyester reinforcement forms a new, seamless, water-proof membrane over the existing roof and areas reinforced by Modified Bitumen.
COPING METAL: Resecure loose coping metal and refasten joints on an as need basis. Reseal joints with white flashing grade or microfibers and silicone as required.
HVAC/MECHNICAL EQUIPMENT/SKYLIGHT CURBS: Reseal A/C curbs with modified bitumen roofing membrane, flashing grade or microfibers and silicone as required.
PRESSURE WASHING: Pressure wash repair area prior to silicone topcoat application.
Apply White Elastomeric Top Coat
After 1 or 2 days of curing, the roof is ready for the white elastomeric top coat to be spray applied directly to the polyester reinforcement. After curing, you have an Energy-Star rated, Title-24 compliant Cool Roof that can dramatically reduce surface temperature and help reduce cooling costs.
Apply one coat of TROPICAL #918B PRIMER at the rate of approximately 1.0 - 1.5 gallons per 100 sq.ft. over entire roof surface.

Modified Bitumen is a blend of atactic polypylene polymers mixed with high grade asphalt, reinforced with a non-woven polyester mat. The expected useful life of this material is 20 years. Modified Bitumen is the replacement technology for the old Mineral Capsheet (Hot Mop) technology.
13 Reasons to Get a Cool Roof
Applying a white elastomeric top coat (aka Cool Roof) to your roof building has numerous advantages over a conventional roof. Roof restoration coating systems comprise approximately 65% of today’s commercial roofing needs.They are more cost effective than traditional means of re-roofing.

- 1Minimal inconvenience as there is no need to tear-off existing roofing membrane.
- 2Eliminates need to replace insulation which would be costly.
- 3Lightweight. Additional layers may be added at a future date which can extend the useful life.
- 4Water-based, non-flammable, and odorless.
- 5Seamless, encapsulating the existing roofing membrane.
- 6Superior water proofing qualities.
- 7Extremely flexible with strong elongation properties.
- 8Polyester mat(s) provides superior tensile strength.
- 9Maintains your current fire rating.
- 10Emulsified asphalt deteriorates at a slower rate than hot asphalt-based roof systems.
- 11Materials are environmentally friendly with very low VOCs.
