Spray polyurethane foam with a silicone topcoat can renew a tired flat roof, often without a full tear-off. Blue Peaks Roofing scopes and manages spray foam and silicone coating systems for commercial buildings across the Front Range.
We work with experienced application partners on the spraying, and we manage the project from the first assessment to the final walkthrough.
These roofs got spray polyurethane foam with a silicone topcoat. One roof with an asphalt-based surface got a bleed-block primer first.
From a worn gravel roof to foam, primer and a finished silicone surface, including details at parapets, pipes and vents.
Foam goes on as a liquid and expands into a seamless, insulating layer that bonds to the roof. It can be built up in low spots to help water drain.
Foam has to be protected from sunlight. A silicone coating seals the foam and reflects sun.
Some existing roofs need a primer first. A bleed-block primer keeps oils in asphalt-based roofs from staining through the topcoat.
When the existing roof is sound and dry, a silicone coating can sometimes go on without adding foam.
High-altitude sun breaks down unprotected foam fast. The silicone topcoat is what protects it, so keeping the coating in good shape matters.
Hail can dent or puncture foam and coatings. Damaged spots can usually be cleaned, patched and recoated, so inspect after major storms.
A seamless surface leaves fewer seams for water to get into. Foam and coatings need dry surfaces and the right temperatures to go on, so weather affects scheduling.

Often, if the existing roof is dry, well attached and code allows another layer. Wet or failed material has to come off first, which is why we start with an assessment.
Silicone is often chosen for low-slope roofs where water collects, but drainage still matters. Foam can be built up in low spots to help water drain, and we look at drains and slope during the assessment.
We scope and manage the project, and experienced application partners handle the spraying.
It depends on the coating thickness, sun exposure, foot traffic and hail. Regular inspections and recoating when the coating wears thin keep the system working.
Blue Peaks Roofing is a Gaco-certified silicone roof coating installer, so qualifying projects can carry a Gaco manufacturer warranty of 10, 15, or 20 years. Warranty length, required coating thickness, and eligibility are set by Gaco and depend on your roof's condition, so we start with a roof inspection and confirm which options fit your building.
Yes. We inspect the roof and give you a clear recommendation, whether that is foam, a coating or a different system.
We will assess the roof, check for moisture and damage, and explain the practical options. Assessments are free. Call (303) 808-0687 or send us a note through our contact page.
