Protect your Tucson home from intense desert sun and monsoon damage with professional roof coating. Bob’s Custom Roofing has applied protective coatings to residential roofs across Greater Tucson since 1972, helping homeowners extend roof life and lower energy bills.
Arizona’s extreme climate takes a toll on roofing materials. Summer temperatures above 110°F, intense UV radiation year-round, and sudden monsoon storms accelerate roof aging. A quality coating system creates a protective barrier that addresses these specific challenges.
Extended Roof Life – Coating adds years to your existing roof by sealing minor cracks and preventing water intrusion before leaks develop.
Lower Energy Costs – Reflective coatings reduce heat absorption, keeping your attic cooler and reducing the workload on your air conditioning system during brutal Tucson summers.
Leak Prevention – Seamless coating layers seal vulnerable areas around vents, skylights, and roof penetrations where leaks commonly start.
Cost-Effective Alternative – Coating costs significantly less than complete roof replacement while delivering substantial protection and performance improvements.
UV Protection – Specialized coatings resist degradation from constant sun exposure that breaks down unprotected roofing materials.
Roof coating extends the life of your existing roof while improving your home’s energy efficiency.
We use professional-grade coating products designed specifically for Tucson’s demanding conditions. Our 53 years of local experience guides our material selection for each project.
Flexible rubber-based coatings that expand and contract with temperature changes. These coatings handle Tucson’s dramatic temperature swings between scorching days and cooler nights without cracking or peeling.
We apply Tucson Rubberized Coatings and APOC elastomeric systems proven in Southern Arizona conditions. These products form watertight membranes that keep monsoon rains outside while reflecting summer heat.
Highly reflective aluminum-based coatings provide excellent heat deflection. These systems work particularly well on flat roof sections and low-slope areas where heat absorption impacts indoor comfort.
Premium silicone formulations offer superior UV resistance and water-shedding capabilities. Silicone coatings maintain flexibility across extreme temperature ranges and resist ponding water on flat sections.
Coating works best on structurally sound roofs showing early signs of aging. We evaluate your specific situation during our free inspection.
Flat Roofs – Modified bitumen and built-up roofing systems respond exceptionally well to coating applications. We regularly coat flat roofs on Tucson homes to prevent common leak points.
Low-Slope Roofs – Gentle slopes benefit from seamless coating coverage that protects vulnerable transition areas and roof penetrations.
Aging Shingle Roofs – Architectural shingles approaching the end of their expected lifespan can gain additional years with proper coating when the underlying structure remains solid.
Coating isn’t appropriate for every roof. We provide honest assessments and will recommend replacement when that makes more sense for your situation and budget.
Protect Your Roof Investment
We start with a complete roof evaluation using video inspection technology. This shows you current roof conditions and helps us identify any repairs needed before coating application.
Our inspection covers structural integrity, existing damage, problem areas requiring attention, and whether coating represents the right solution for your home.
Proper preparation ensures coating adhesion and long-term performance. We clean the roof surface, repair any damaged areas, address leaks or weak spots, and ensure the substrate is ready for coating.
Preparation varies based on existing roof type and condition. Our crews know what each surface requires for optimal results.
We apply coating systems according to manufacturer specifications for proper thickness and coverage. Multiple layers build a complete protective system.
Application timing considers Tucson weather patterns. We schedule coating work during appropriate temperature and moisture conditions for proper curing.
After completion, we inspect the finished coating to verify complete coverage, proper thickness, and correct treatment of all roof penetrations and edges.

Roof Coating Questions from Tucson Homeowners
Quality coating systems typically last 5-10 years in Tucson conditions with proper application and maintenance. Some coatings can be recoated to extend protection further without starting over.
We generally don’t coat tile roofs because tiles already provide excellent durability and longevity. Coating works best on flat roofing, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and some shingle applications.
We repair all leaks before applying coating. Coating over problems just hides them temporarily. We fix issues first, then coat to prevent future problems.
Most coatings we apply are light colored for heat reflection. This changes your roof’s appearance, but the energy savings and protection benefits typically outweigh aesthetic considerations for Tucson homeowners.
Our crews protect landscaping, windows, and surrounding areas before starting. We clean up thoroughly after completion so your property looks great.
We typically schedule coating projects during spring and fall when temperatures are moderate. Extreme summer heat and occasional winter moisture can affect application and curing.
Roof coating extends the life of your existing roof while improving your home’s energy efficiency. It’s a smart investment that costs less than replacement while delivering real performance benefits in Tucson’s challenging climate.
