High and exposed
Homes built for the view also face the weather. Mariposa roofs get hit by wind from several directions and full sun most of the day. That combination wears coatings faster than on a sheltered lot in town.
Contemporary designs
Many homes here have modern or pueblo-inspired designs with multiple roof levels, clerestory windows and lots of roof-to-wall joints. Every one of those joints is a place where water can find its way in. A good recoat pays as much attention to the edges as to the open roof.
What we focus on
- Roof-to-wall transitions at each level
- Scuppers and canales that drain one roof onto another
- Skylights and clerestory sills
- Windward edges that lose coating first
Spray days
On a windy hilltop, spray work only happens on calm days. We'll often roll near edges and neighbors. See what happens on coating day.

Common questions
Does wind really wear down a coating?
Yes. Blowing sand is abrasive. The windward side of a roof often wears noticeably faster.
Can you work around a roof deck?
Yes. Decks and walk surfaces need their own detailing, which we'll cover at the estimate.
