Catalina Foothills / 01

High, sunny, and hard on a roof.

Foothills homes sit above the rest of the city, which means a view in every direction and nothing between the roof and the sun from the moment it clears the Rincons. Most of them were built with flat or low-sloped roofs, stucco parapets, and the kind of custom details that make the house: view decks, clerestory windows, multiple roof levels, and skylights that were often the only ones of their size ever made.

That construction rewards maintenance and punishes neglect. An original coating from the 1980s or 1990s has long since chalked away, and even a recoat from a decade ago is likely thin on the south-facing runs and cracked at the seams. The fix is the same one we use everywhere: pressure scrub, honest repairs with photos, then two full coats of premium-grade acrylic in white or a tan that keeps the architectural committee happy.

What We Do Here / 02

Custom roofs, odd skylights, and colors the HOA will sign off on.

A foothills roof is rarely one simple rectangle. It is three or four levels tied together by parapets, scuppers, and transitions, each one a place water can find its way in. We walk every one of those details, photograph what we find, and repair it before any coating goes down. On homes with view decks, we pay particular attention to the deck-to-roof tie-in, which is the leak we are called about most often up here.

Skylights are the other foothills specialty. Many of these homes have large or odd-sized domes that other contractors will tell you cannot be replaced. They can. We have the domes custom made, set them during the recoat, and seal them into the new system so the whole roof cures as one surface. And because nearly every foothills neighborhood has an architectural review process, we provide the product sheets and color samples you need before the work starts.

“My dome skylights, some of which were very large and odd sizes, had been broken in a bad hailstorm. Several roofing companies told me they would not be able to find correct replacements, but Jack knew exactly where to go to get perfect replacement skylights custom made right away.”Peter M., Google review

Questions / 03

Catalina Foothills roof questions we hear a lot.

01How often should a Catalina Foothills flat roof be recoated?

Plan on every seven to ten years for a two coat premium acrylic system, and sooner on roofs that take full southern exposure or hold water after storms. The honest answer comes from an inspection: if the coating still has body and the seams are tight, we will tell you to wait.

02Do you work on hillside and custom homes with multiple roof levels?

Yes, and they are most of what we do in the foothills. Multiple levels mean more transitions, parapets, and scuppers, and those details are where the leaks are. We walk and photograph every one before we coat anything.

03Can you match the color my HOA or architectural committee requires?

In almost every case. White reflects the most heat, and tan blends with the stucco where white is not allowed. Both go down as the same two coat system. We supply product information and samples for your review submission before the job is scheduled.

04Is there a charge for an inspection in the Catalina Foothills?

No. Inspections are complimentary for homeowners and most commercial roofs. You get a straight assessment with photos of anything we find, and a written estimate if the roof needs work.
