Apply the compatible coating system to the proper preparation and specification.

The actual products and application rates should come from the contractor/manufacturer — not generic website promises.

Look at the protective coating condition rather than relying on a calendar alone. Chalking, worn areas, exposed foam, cracking or loss of protective thickness are reasons to have it evaluated.

Often, yes. The damaged area should be opened or prepared correctly, repaired with compatible materials and recoated so the foam is protected again.

Possible causes include trapped moisture, adhesion problems, damaged substrate or prior repair issues. A soft spot should be diagnosed before coating over it.

Not responsibly without inspection and preparation. Failed foam, wet areas, loose material, cracks, penetrations and drainage problems should be addressed first.

No. A recoat renews the protective surface on an existing suitable foam roof. A new foam installation creates or substantially rebuilds the SPF roofing system.

hotos and notes on coating condition, soft areas, penetrations, cracks, drainage, previous repairs and any moisture concerns help define the work that needs to happen before coating.
