Signs it's time
- Moisture under large areas of the roof
- Soft or spongy spots when you walk on it
- Leaks in several different places
- Repeated repairs that don't hold
- An old tar and gravel roof that's bare, blistered and splitting
Systems we install
Spray foam + coating
Seamless, insulating and easy to shape for drainage. The most common choice for pueblo-style homes.
TPO
White heat-welded membrane over insulation board. Clean and reflective after a full tear-off.
Modified bitumen
Durable rolled roofing, torch-down or cold-applied, often with a reflective cap sheet.
Hybrid
Sometimes TPO on the main roof with foam at tricky parapet and canale details.
Compare them in tar and gravel vs foam vs TPO.
What a good replacement includes

Common questions
How long does a new flat roof last?
Foam with good coating maintenance and TPO can both last 20 years or more. Built-up and modified roofs vary with the materials and drainage.
Will a new roof stop ponding?
It should. Building slope toward the canales is part of a proper replacement.
Do you remove the old roof?
When it's wet or there's already too many layers, yes. Dry single-layer roofs can sometimes be covered.
