Roof Sealing Services We Provide
We offer comprehensive roof sealing solutions tailored to protect various roofing systems from water damage and environmental stress found in coastal areas. Our services address both residential and commercial properties with customized approaches that match your specific roofing material and protection needs.
Elastomeric Roof Coating Application
Elastomeric coatings create flexible, waterproof barriers that expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing cracks and leaks from developing across your roof surface. We apply these high-performance coatings using specialized equipment that ensures even coverage and proper thickness for maximum protection against moisture and UV exposure.
The coating bonds directly to existing roofing materials, creating a seamless membrane that reflects sunlight and reduces cooling costs by up to 20 percent. Our application process includes thorough cleaning, primer application when needed, and multiple coating layers that cure into a durable protective shield.
Flat Roof Membrane Sealing
Flat roofs require specialized sealing attention at seams, penetrations, and vulnerable areas where water pooling can occur during heavy rainfall or improper drainage situations. We reinforce these critical zones with flexible sealants and reinforcing fabrics that prevent separation, cracking, and moisture infiltration through weak points in the membrane system.
Our technicians identify and address potential failure points before applying protective coatings that extend membrane life by preventing premature deterioration from sun exposure. This service works with TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen systems to maintain waterproof integrity across the entire roof surface.
Metal Roof Seam Sealing
Metal roofing systems develop gaps at seams and fastener points over time due to thermal expansion, creating entry points for wind-driven rain and moisture. We seal these vulnerable areas using high-grade sealants formulated specifically for metal surfaces, ensuring strong adhesion that withstands coastal wind conditions and temperature fluctuations.
The process involves cleaning oxidation, applying corrosion-resistant primers, and installing butyl or polyurethane sealants that remain flexible through repeated expansion and contraction cycles. Proper seam sealing prevents rust formation, extends metal roof life, and maintains the system's ability to handle winds up to 130 mph.
Our Roof Sealing Process
Comprehensive Roof Inspection
Our certified technicians conduct detailed assessments that identify existing damage, vulnerable areas, and material conditions before recommending appropriate sealing solutions for your specific situation. We examine flashing, penetrations, seams, and surface conditions using visual inspection and moisture detection equipment that reveals hidden problems beneath visible roofing layers.
Thorough inspection prevents sealing over unresolved issues that would compromise the effectiveness and longevity of protective coatings applied to your roof. This evaluation includes documentation and recommendations that help you understand exactly what protection your roof needs and why.
Surface Preparation and Cleaning
Proper adhesion requires removing dirt, debris, oxidation, and loose material from roofing surfaces before applying any sealants or protective coatings to the system. We use pressure washing, hand scraping, and specialized cleaners that prepare surfaces without damaging existing roofing materials or creating additional problems during the cleaning process.
Clean surfaces allow sealants to bond directly with roofing substrates, creating strong mechanical and chemical adhesion that withstands weather exposure and thermal stress. This preparation step often determines whether sealing systems last two years or twenty years, depending on thoroughness and attention to detail.
Primer and Sealant Application
We apply primers when necessary to enhance adhesion between existing roofing materials and protective coatings, especially on weathered or porous surfaces throughout your property. Sealants follow primer application using spray equipment, rollers, or brushes, depending on the product type and specific areas being treated on your roof.
Multiple coating layers build a proper thickness that meets manufacturer specifications for warranty coverage and expected performance under local weather conditions, including wind and rain. Our technicians maintain consistent coverage and proper curing times between coats to ensure optimal bonding and long-term protection across the entire roof surface.

Roof Sealing FAQs
How long does roof sealing typically last before reapplication is needed?
Quality roof sealing lasts 5 to 15 years, depending on the coating type, roof material, and exposure conditions your property experiences over time. Regular inspections help identify when resealing becomes necessary to maintain continuous protection and prevent water damage from developing across vulnerable areas.
Can roof sealing be applied during any season or weather condition?
Roof sealing requires dry conditions and temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit for proper adhesion and curing of materials applied to your roof surface. We schedule sealing projects during favorable weather windows and can protect your home during work if rain threatens before coatings fully cure.
Will roof sealing fix existing leaks or do those need separate repair?
Existing leaks require proper repair before sealing application to prevent trapping moisture and covering damage that continues deteriorating beneath protective coatings installed over the area. We identify and fix leak sources during our inspection process, then apply sealing systems that prevent future leaks from developing across your roof.
Does roof sealing work on all types of roofing materials found in Laguna Beach?
Professional sealing systems exist for metal, tile, asphalt shingle, and flat roof materials, though specific products and techniques vary based on substrate characteristics and requirements. We recommend appropriate sealing solutions after evaluating your roof type, condition, and the protection level needed for your property's specific exposure and weather conditions.
How much does professional roof sealing cost compared to a full roof replacement?
Roof sealing typically costs 15 to 30 percent of replacement expenses while extending roof life by years and providing immediate leak protection for your investment. The exact cost depends on roof size, material type, condition, and the sealing system required to deliver appropriate protection for your specific situation.
