Older homes, older roofs
Many homes near Nob Hill, the university and Uptown are pueblo revival designs with flat roofs, parapets and canales, some dating back decades. Under the surface there may be layers of built-up roofing, patches and old coatings. That history matters when deciding what can be coated.
What we check first
- How many layers are already on the roof
- Whether the roof is dry underneath
- Parapet condition — older stucco caps crack
- Canales and how water leaves the roof
Options
A sound older roof can often be prepared and coated, or covered with sprayed foam and coated. If it's wet or too many layers deep, removal comes first. See coating older flat roofs and recoat or replace?

Common questions
Is foam allowed on historic homes?
Most flat roofs are hidden behind parapets, so foam and white coatings are common. If your home is in a historic overlay, check the rules first.
Do you work on rentals and duplexes?
Yes.
