Roofs in the Heights
The Northeast Heights grew fast from the 1960s through the 1990s, and a big share of those homes have flat roofs behind parapets — some original built-up roofs, many converted to sprayed foam over the years. Higher up toward the foothills, homes sit in stronger sun and wind, and coatings wear faster on the south- and west-facing sides.
What we see most
- Foam roofs on their second or third coat, now chalky or cracked
- Swamp cooler stands with years of drips and foot traffic around them
- Additions and patio covers with a different roof than the house
- Parapet caps cracked by freeze-thaw on north-facing walls
Foothills homes
Near the Sandia foothills, larger custom homes often have multiple roof levels, clerestories and lots of skylights. Each one is detail work — see skylight and vent sealing. Wind off the mountains also means we schedule spray work carefully.
Coating work in Northeast Heights
- Foam roof recoating and new spray foam roofs
- Elastomeric and silicone coatings

Common questions
Do you work in HOA neighborhoods?
Yes. White or light coatings are usually allowed on flat roofs since they're hidden behind parapets, but check your HOA if you're unsure.
How often do Heights roofs need recoating?
Commonly every several years, sooner on roofs with full sun and no shade.
