The first recoat
Newer homes usually leave the builder with a fresh coat on any flat sections. That first coat does its job for years, but it's typically thinner than a full recoat, and the north side of town is open to wind and sun. Many owners here are coming up on their first recoat without knowing it.
What to look for
- Patio covers and porch roofs with a dull or gray surface
- Staining on stucco under canales
- Water that stands on a flat section a day after rain
- Cracking where flat sections meet walls
Builder warranty first
If your home is still under a builder warranty, check whether roof issues are covered before paying for repairs. If it isn't, a recoat is a small cost compared with fixing water damage later.
Wind exposure
Homes on the open north side catch the full force of spring wind. Grit wears the windward side of a coating fastest. See wind and sand damage.

Common questions
How do I know if my home has flat sections?
Look for parapet walls rising above the roofline, or canales sticking out of the walls.
Is a first recoat cheaper?
Often, because there's usually less foam repair needed when the roof is caught early.
