Commercial Roof Coating in Cottonwood, AZ

The Safeway commercial building in Cottonwood, Arizona required a roof resurfacing solution to extend the life of its low-slope system. As a high-traffic retail tenant, the property owner needed a durable roofing system backed by a strong warranty to ensure long-term performance. Hale’s Roofing partnered with Polyglass to deliver a 48,000 sq. ft. elastomeric coating project, fully warrantied for 15 years.

Challenge: Extending Roof Life While Protecting a Busy Commercial Property

The existing roof on the Safeway store was aging and required a protective solution to restore waterproofing and prevent future issues. The property owner sought a cost-effective alternative to full replacement that would minimize disruption to tenants and maintain energy efficiency. Special considerations included ensuring proper waterproofing around numerous vents and refrigeration equipment, as well as addressing ponding water areas common on large commercial flat roofs.

Solution: High-Performance Elastomeric Coating System

To meet the performance and warranty requirements, Hale’s Roofing applied a two-ply elastomeric system designed for long-term durability. Polyglass PolyBrite 71-HS Bleed-Blocking Premium Elastomeric Coating was selected for its proven performance on commercial low-slope applications.

Key project steps included:

• Pressure washing the existing roof surface for maximum coating adhesion.
• Installing a primer coat (KM Min-Prime water-based stain blocker and primer).
• Applying two coats of PolyBrite 71-HS elastomeric coating at 2.0 gallons per 100 sq. ft. per coat (24 wet mils).
• Reinforcing critical areas with polyester reinforcement fabric in multiple widths (6”, 12”, and 18”).
• Installing additional silicone coating in ponding areas for enhanced protection.
• Waterproofing all vents and penetrations with Polyflash 1C flashing.
• Coordinating with the refrigeration contractor to address equipment supports and ensure warranty compliance.

This approach delivered a seamless, reflective, and highly durable roof surface designed to extend the building’s service life by at least 15 years.

Result: A Durable, Warrantied Roofing System

The Safeway commercial property now benefits from a fully restored low-slope roof protected by Polyglass’s 15-year NDL system warranty. The elastomeric coating provides enhanced waterproofing and leak prevention, improved energy efficiency from a reflective surface, reduced maintenance costs compared to roof replacement, and peace of mind for both the property owner and tenant with long-term warranty coverage. The project was completed efficiently, allowing the retail store to continue operating without interruption.
