Decades of patches
Rio Rancho's early neighborhoods date to the 1970s and 1980s. Some of those flat roofs were built with tar and gravel or rolled roofing, then covered with foam later. Many have been patched, recoated and patched again. That history matters, because what's under the top coat decides what the roof needs next.
What we find
- Several layers of coating, some peeling away from the ones below
- Wet foam around old cooler openings and skylights
- Bubbling where old coats were applied over damp roofs
- Parapets that have been resurfaced but never sealed on top
Recoat, re-foam or start fresh
If the foam is mostly dry and sound, a recoat with good prep is still the best value. If coats are peeling in sheets or the foam is wet in many places, re-foaming or a new roof may be the honest answer. See recoat, new foam or TPO.

Common questions
Can you remove old peeling coating?
Yes. Loose coating is scraped and washed off before the new coat goes on, so it bonds to something solid.
My roof has been patched many times. Can it still be saved?
Often. An inspection will show whether the foam underneath is dry enough to recoat.
