Silicone sealing and coating that restores flat and low-slope roofs instead of tearing them off.
Roof Sealing and Coating for Los Angeles Flat Roofs
Flat and low-slope roofs take the worst of the sun in Los Angeles. They sit nearly face-on to the sky all day, they get little shade and they hold standing water after a storm. Over the years the surface cracks, the seams open and the sealant around vents and flashing dries out, which is when leaks start.
Roof sealing and coating addresses that wear without a full tear-off. The roof is cleaned and repaired, the weak details are sealed and a continuous liquid-applied layer is put over the whole surface. Done on a roof that is still dry and sound underneath, it can extend roof life, stop leaks and cut the heat a dark surface soaks up.
This category covers silicone roof sealing, the coating system Reyes Roofing offers. It is closely related to torch-down roofing, the other flat-roof service we provide, and the two are often compared: one restores the existing roof, the other installs a new membrane.

Why Los Angeles building owners consider sealing first
Sealing is often the more economical path when a roof is aging but not failed. It avoids the cost and mess of tear-off and usually goes faster, which matters for occupied homes and small businesses.
It is not the answer for every roof, and Reyes Roofing will tell you when it is not. If moisture has reached the insulation or deck, the right move is repair or a new membrane, and we explain why before you commit.
Roof Sealing & Coating FAQs
What kinds of roofs can be sealed or coated?
Low-slope and flat roofs are the best candidates: modified bitumen, built-up roofs, many single-ply membranes and metal. Steep tile and shingle roofs are generally repaired or replaced instead, because coatings do not suit them. We check the existing surface before recommending anything.
How is sealing different from replacing the roof?
Sealing restores the roof you already have by repairing it and adding a protective layer on top. Replacement removes the old roof and installs a new one. Sealing costs less and creates less waste, but only works when the roof underneath is still dry and sound.
How long does a roof coating last?
It depends on the product, the thickness applied and the condition of the roof. Silicone coatings are known for durability against sun and ponding water, but they are not permanent, and the roof should still be checked periodically and re-coated when the film wears thin.
Will a roof coating help with my energy bills?
A reflective coating can lower the heat a flat roof absorbs, which can ease the load on air conditioning on hot days. The effect depends on your building, insulation and cooling system, so treat it as a possible benefit rather than a guarantee.
