The usual suspects
- Dome skylights — the curb and the seal between dome and frame
- Plumbing vents and furnace or water heater flues
- Swamp cooler and HVAC stands — plus drips from the cooler itself
- Solar racking attachments
- Old abandoned pipes and antenna mounts
How we seal them
- Clean back to sound material around each opening
- Remove failed caulk and patches
- Rebuild the base with foam where needed so water runs away
- Wrap with sealant and reinforcing fabric
- Coat over the detail as part of the roof coat
Skylights: seal or replace?
If the dome is cracked, cloudy or the frame is failing, sealing around it just delays the problem. Replacing an old skylight during a recoat is the cheapest time to do it, because the curb gets rebuilt and coated with the rest of the roof.
Swamp coolers
Coolers drip, overflow and need service visits — all hard on a flat roof. A raised, sealed stand, a proper drain line and a walk pad from the hatch or ladder help a lot.
Solar panels
If you're planning solar, coat the roof first; removing and resetting panels later costs extra. If you already have solar, we coordinate with your solar company. See common questions.

Common questions
Do you replace skylights?
Yes, we can replace dome skylights as part of a recoat or leak repair.
Can you coat around solar panels?
Partly — areas under panels are hard to reach. For a full recoat, panels are usually removed and reset by a solar company.
My cooler leaks onto the roof. Is that a problem?
Yes. Constant water wears out coatings and soaks foam. Fix the drip and reinforce the area.
