Approach and workmanship

• Family-owned and operated, with decades of experience in the Phoenix Valley.

Where elastomeric recoats are used

Elastomeric coatings are used primarily on flat and low-slope roofs, including:

• Polyurethane foam roofs.
• Modified bitumen.
• Built-up roofing.
• Existing coated roofs that are weathered but still sound and dry underneath.

They are intended to renew the weathering surface of a roof, not to fix a roof that is already failing or wet below the surface.

Why timing matters

• A recoat is typically the most economical roofing work when the underlying roof is still sound and dry.
• Coating over a roof that is already wet or failing can trap moisture and lead to more extensive repairs later.
• Phillips Roofing inspects the roof to determine whether a recoat is appropriate and will advise if a different solution is needed.

Preparation steps before coating

A successful recoat depends heavily on preparation:

• Cleaning: The roof is washed so dust, chalk, and loose material do not interfere with adhesion.
• Repairs: Blisters, splits, open laps, and soft or damaged areas are repaired before coating.
• Detail work: Extra attention is given to penetrations, drains, scuppers, parapet walls, and seams, often with reinforcing fabric embedded in the coating.
• Priming: Applied where necessary based on the existing surface.
• Application to thickness: Coating is applied to the specified thickness, usually in multiple passes, so it performs as designed.

Benefits in the Phoenix climate

• Creates a seamless waterproofing membrane over compatible roof systems.
• Bright white reflective surface helps reduce roof temperatures.
• Lower roof temperatures reduce heat transfer into the building and can slow aging of the roof system underneath.

Note: Exact coating products, thicknesses, warranty terms, and costs are not specified on the website and should be confirmed directly with Phillips Roofing.

• Modified bitumen: Polymer-modified asphalt membranes reinforced with fiberglass or polyester, installed in rolls.
• Built-up roofing (BUR): Traditional multi-ply felt-and-asphalt systems, often finished with a protective surface such as gravel.

These systems are chosen for flexibility and durability under Arizona's daily thermal cycling.

How modified bitumen is installed

• Typically installed in multiple plies (e.g., base sheet and cap sheet).
• Seams and laps are sealed using methods such as torch application, hot asphalt, cold adhesive, or self-adhered backings, depending on the roof and substrate.
• Multi-ply construction provides redundancy, so another ply remains if one layer is compromised.

Drainage and why it matters

• No flat roof is truly flat; it is designed with slope so water can reach drains or scuppers.
• When slope is lost or drainage points are blocked, water can pond on the roof.
• Standing water accelerates wear at seams, laps, and penetrations, increases ultraviolet exposure, adds weight, and can worsen deck deflection.
• Correcting drainage problems is often central to stopping chronic flat-roof leaks.

Common leak points on flat roofs

Flat roofs most often leak at:

• Seams and laps between rolls.
• Penetrations such as drains, vents, AC curbs, and conduits.
• Parapet walls and scuppers where the roof meets walls or where water exits.
• Ponding areas where water stands and the membrane ages fastest.
• Blisters and splits caused by trapped moisture or movement.

Phillips Roofing focuses on diagnosing and addressing these areas when repairing or upgrading flat-roof systems.

Note: Specific materials, manufacturer brands, and warranty details are not listed on the site and should be confirmed directly with the company.

• The waterproofing layer has reached the end of its service life across the whole roof.
• Leaks or failures are appearing in multiple areas over a short period.
• Underlayment crumbles or fails when lifted (common on older tile roofs in Arizona).
• Decking has already gone soft in more than one location.

In these cases, repeated repairs may cost more over time than replacing the system once.

What happens during a reroof

Phillips Roofing describes a typical reroof process as:

• Protection: Cover landscaping, pools, AC units, and walkways before tear-off begins.
• Tear-off: Remove old roofing, underlayment, and fasteners down to the sheathing.
• Deck repair: Replace soft, rotted, or delaminated sheathing while the roof is open.
• Underlayment and flashing: Install new underlayment across the full deck, with new valley metal, pipe jacks, and wall flashing rather than reusing old parts.
• New roof installation: Install the new roof system (tile, shingle, foam, or flat system) to building code and manufacturer specifications.
• Cleanup and walkthrough: Haul debris, magnet-sweep the ground for nails, and walk the completed job with the homeowner.

Built for Arizona conditions

• Roof failures in the Phoenix area are driven mainly by ultraviolet exposure, extreme deck temperatures, and daily thermal movement, followed by monsoon-season wind and rain.
• Phillips Roofing focuses on climate-appropriate details such as sun-rated underlayment, properly detailed penetrations, and flashing heights that help resist wind-driven rain.

Note: Exact reroof pricing, financing options, and formal warranty terms are not listed on the website and should be obtained directly from Phillips Roofing during an estimate.

Protective coating over foam

• Once installed, the foam is covered with a protective coating, commonly an elastomeric roof coating.
• The coating protects the foam from ultraviolet exposure; the foam provides the waterproofing and insulation.

Advantages for Arizona flat roofs

• Insulation: Closed-cell foam provides meaningful R-value, helping reduce heat transfer from the hot roof surface into the building.
• Drainage correction: Foam can be applied thicker in low spots to build slope toward drains, reducing ponding water.
• Lightweight: Adds relatively little dead load compared with some traditional systems.
• Retrofit potential: On suitable substrates, foam can sometimes be applied over existing roofs instead of a full tear-off.
• Renewable: When the protective coating weathers, it can be recoated so the same foam roof continues in service.

Maintenance expectations

• Foam roofs are not "install and forget" systems.
• The top coating weathers over time under Arizona sun and must be recoated on an appropriate schedule.
• If left uncoated too long, ultraviolet damage can reach the foam itself and require repairs instead of a simple recoat.
• Phillips Roofing evaluates the current condition of the foam and coating and can advise what is needed.

Note: Specific foam products, coating schedules, and warranty terms are not detailed on the website and should be confirmed directly with Phillips Roofing.
