To do a flat roof properly you must start at the top of the parapit wall. All cracks in the top of the wall must be patched with rubber cement. The top of the wall must then be coated with roof coating, as house paint does not seal the stucco. This eliminates frost damage, and leaks down the wall.
All skylights need to be sealed with silicone, where the plastic dome goes under the aluminum frame. Skylights leak if this important step is not done. Any and all drip edges must be re-nailed each time a roof gets coated to prevent summer monsoon blowoffs.
Apply Roof Coating
So finally, the roof coating itself is imperatively important. Elastomeric is not just a water seal, but also a UV block. To keep the sun off your felt paper and tar, water barrier, we use a top-grade elastomeric made right here in Tucson that is of the highest quality. This product remains flexible, bright white, and reduces daytime operating temperatures from 140 to 100 degrees. With high quality titanium dioxide pigment this is a superior product.
Elastomeric must be applied thick enough or it offers no protection. A flat roof is a great roof. You can see everything, reach everything, and repair everything.
