Elastomeric Roof Coating System Installation in Sedona, AZ

A residential property in Sedona, AZ had reached the point where its existing flat roofing system was no longer providing reliable protection. With visible wear and declining performance, the homeowner opted to move forward with a proactive roofing solution rather than wait for more serious damage. Without involving insurance, the project focused on restoring and extending the life of the existing roof through a high-performance coating system.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof Size: 40 SQ (approx. 4,000 sq. ft.)
• Roofing System: Premium 2-ply elastomeric coating system
• Coating Brand: Polyglass PolyBrite (or equivalent)
• Warranty: 2-year labor warranty + manufacturer product warranty
• Location: Sedona, AZ
• Insurance: None (customer-funded project)

Challenge: Aging Flat Roof Requiring Restoration Without Full Replacement

The existing roof showed signs of age and surface degradation, making it vulnerable to water intrusion and reduced energy efficiency. While not yet in complete failure, the system required immediate attention to prevent leaks and further deterioration.

Additional considerations included ensuring proper adhesion of the new coating system and addressing critical areas like scuppers, seams, and roof penetrations. The presence of a solar water heater also required coordination prior to installation to avoid interference with the coating process.

Solution: Reinforced Two-Ply Elastomeric Coating System for Long-Term Protection

To restore the roof without a full tear-off, a premium elastomeric coating system was installed using manufacturer-specified materials and methods. This approach provided a seamless, waterproof barrier while extending the lifespan of the existing structure.

• Pressure washing the existing roof surface to ensure proper coating adhesion
• Applying Polyglass PolyBrite primer to prepare the substrate
• Installing polyester reinforcement fabric at critical seams and transitions
• Sealing vents, penetrations, and flashing details with high-performance sealants
• Resealing scuppers and exterior joints to improve drainage and waterproofing
• Applying a two-coat elastomeric system at 1.25 gallons per 100 sq. ft. per coat
• Completing the system with a white reflective finish chosen by the homeowner
• Conducting final cleanup and debris removal

Result: Extended Roof Life, Improved Efficiency, and Peace of Mind

The completed project delivered a fully restored roofing system capable of withstanding the elements while significantly improving waterproofing performance. The reflective white coating also enhances energy efficiency by reducing heat absorption, which is especially valuable in Sedona’s climate.

From a functional standpoint, the roof now offers improved drainage, reinforced protection at vulnerable areas, and a seamless barrier against moisture intrusion. Just as importantly, the homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their property is protected without the cost and disruption of a full roof replacement.
