Sprayed Roof

Mike Lamb

This roof had a black spray. It was applied a week ago and was still a little sticky. I think they also sprayed the asphalt driveway with this stuff. I've read a little about some asphalt roofing sprays but this is new to me. Is anyone familiar?

What they sprayed accomplished nothing in my opinion. Who was the roofing company that installed it? If they are doing driveways and roofing, they probably aren't a roofer although I do know of one company that does both as a matter of fact. If it's still tacky, it is probably not engineered as a roof coating and indeed may be the same stuff on the driveway.

Even if the product is water proof, what they applied doesn't seem to have been applied thick enough to cure monolithic. If you would like to do a little more research into coatings and elastomeric membranes, check out Chicago Roof Coatings

Thanks, Grumpy. It was not a roofer who did this, just a con artist who ripped off an old lady big time. She had her small flat roof and 2 car parking area spray painted to the tune of $7,000. It's a sad world. The roof was fine. It just needed some maint. at the penetrations, parapet, etc.

I did some research and it's likely a roof primer or maybe just paint.

Could be asphalt emulsion, which will mudcrack if applied too thick. From previous experience I know that roof emulsion is not the same formula as road/driveway emulsion.

Yep, those people got ripped off big time.

Grumpy

asphalt primer would cure out in a few days if left exposed I would think.

She should file a complaint with the IDFPR, BBB, Angies LIst, Attorney General etc... That kind of crap really pisses me off.

I didn't use spray for my roofs yet. But i think it would be the best option. I must have to try it.

Grumpy

You really think it would be a good option, or you just trying to spam your signature link?

Looks like it is some kind of road oil/cheap drivewy emulsion.

Karma will catch up to those POS's.
