Roof Recoating in Phoenix: Extend the Life of Your Flat Roof

Flat roofs are popular across the Valley—but they need the right care to last. If you’ve noticed your roof coating starting to fade, crack, or wear thin under the Arizona sun, it might be time for a professional roof recoat.

At Pinnacle Roofing, we specialize in recoating foam and coated flat roofs to restore waterproof protection, improve energy efficiency, and extend your roof’s life—without the cost of full replacement.

What Is Roof Recoating?

Recoating is the process of applying a new protective layer—typically an elastomeric or acrylic coating—over an existing foam or coated roof system. This fresh topcoat seals minor wear, restores UV resistance, and strengthens your roof’s ability to handle rain, heat, and time.

If your flat roof still has solid structure and foam integrity, recoating can add 10–15 more years of performance.

Signs Your Roof Needs Recoating

Recoating isn't needed every year—but waiting too long can lead to leaks or damage that require full tear-off. Common signs it’s time to recoat include:

• Faded or chalky surface
• Minor cracks or pinholes in the coating
• Ponding water after rain
• Loss of reflectivity or rising cooling costs
• Your last recoat was 8–15 years ago

Not sure if your roof qualifies? We offer free inspections to help you decide if recoating is the right next step.

Benefits of Recoating Your Roof

1. Extend Roof Lifespan

Recoating adds years of service to an existing roof—protecting your investment and delaying costly replacement.

2. Restore Waterproof Protection

A fresh coat seals over small cracks, preventing leaks and future water damage.

3. Boost Energy Efficiency

Modern roof coatings reflect solar heat, helping reduce your indoor temperatures and cooling bills during Phoenix summers.

4. Cost-Effective Maintenance

Recoating costs significantly less than tearing off and installing a new roof, especially for large or commercial buildings.
