Foam Roofs
Many foam roofs fail. Failures are often caused by improper top-coating, inaccurate material mix and breakdowns from the U.V. (ultra violet) rays of the sun.
We repair damaged areas with the WetSuit coating or if the foam is in good shape apply two layers of the highest quality heat reflective elastomeric coating. You no longer have to accept only white as your only roof color choice. Our “Cool Roof” system comes in a variety of colors

Cap Sheet Roofs Cap sheet roofs are not usually a “Cool Roof” and tend to leak at their joints. Badly weathered and worn cap sheet roofs, can be renewed using our state of the art wetsuit system and elastomeric top coats. Not only will our system protect your original cap sheeting, it will save you money on energy bills and make you eligible for a PG & E rebate. In addition, Blue Turtle Roofing reduces tear off costs and you get a “Cool Roof” system for a fraction of the cost of a new roof; with 10and 15 year warranties from the manufacturers. |

Galv-Alum Roofs We have one of the few solutions for these roofs. The usual remedy for Galv-Alum roofs is to paint them. Painting doesn’t solve problems with leaks. With our system -- we clean the roof, re-screw using metal pan screws to properly secure the metal, seal all joints and then coat the metal with our WetSuit, asphalt neoprene system. It’s followed by a next generation, heat reflective, elastomeric coating which creates a practically new roof system. |

Aluminum Coated Roofs Aluminum coated roofs was an attempt to create a cool reflective roof that hasn’t been a successful solution. These roofs aren’t cool and don’t reflect much heat. The product is malodorous and has limited durability. With these types of roof, we help solve high utility bills by creating a “Cool Roof” system. This lowers your energy costs with our durable heat reflective elastomeric coating which come in various color options and gives you eligibility for a PG & E rebate. These come with a manufacturer’s 10 year material warranty. |

Tar & Gravel Roofs Tar and gravel is the old school solution for a flat roof. It is malodorous, heavy and toxic to apply. Over time, it cracks and creates leaks which leads to continual maintenance to try and stop the leaks. The WetSuit system is a flexible, monolithic, zero V.O.C. asphalt neoprene coating that bonds well to tar and gravel. Combined with our next generation heat reflective, elastomeric coatings, a renewable and watertight cool roof solution is produced. |

Concrete Tile Roofs Concrete tile roofs were considered a lifetime product but now have many lawsuits due to tile finish failure. When mildew and mold appear, it is a “red flag” sign the concrete tiles are acting like sponges collecting water. We can renew these roofs using the state of the art heat reflective thermoplastic coating systems.

The products we use have a high heat emissivity and cross-linking to produce a high adhesion. They are also hard, dirt shedding, breathable and Title 24 compliant. By renewing your roof, at a fraction of the cost of tear off and tile replacement, you get a new looking roof that’s heat reflective and beautiful.
