When it's past recoating
- Large areas of brown, crumbly or soft foam
- Wet spots that never dry out between storms
- Blisters and splits in an old membrane across much of the roof
- Leaks in several places along parapets and transitions
Step by step
- Core checks to find wet insulation or rotten decking
- Remove failed layers; repair decking
- Correct slope toward canales and drains
- Parapets wrapped, caps sealed or capped with metal
- Canales replaced or reset, sized for monsoon rain
- New system — sprayed foam with coating, TPO or modified bitumen
- Penetrations — skylights, clerestories, solar and equipment flashed in
Multi-level roofs
Many Placitas homes have flat roofs at two or three heights. The steps between levels, and the walls that rise above lower roofs, get the same careful detailing as the parapets.

Questions homeowners ask
Foam or membrane for my Placitas roof?
Foam handles complex shapes and adds insulation; membranes suit open, simple roofs. We'll recommend one for yours.
How long does it take?
Usually a few days; multi-level roofs take longer.
Do you remove solar panels?
We coordinate with your solar company to remove and reset them.
