FAQ

Questions we hear most often.

If your question isn't here, the fastest way to a real answer is the contact form or our office line.

Are you licensed and insured in Arizona?
+
Yes. We hold an active Arizona ROC license, carry $2M general liability with $5M umbrella, full workers' compensation, and bonding capacity for projects up to $1.5M. COIs are available within 24 hours of request.
What areas do you serve?
+
We serve the entire Phoenix metro and most of Maricopa County — including Scottsdale, Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Cave Creek, Surprise, Avondale, and Goodyear. Larger commercial projects considered statewide.
Do you offer manufacturer-backed warranties?
+
Yes. We are an approved applicator for several major systems including GE/Momentive, GAF, Sika, and Stonhard, which allows us to issue 10, 15, and 20-year NDL (no dollar limit) warranties depending on the system and substrate.
How quickly can you respond to an active leak?
+
Same-day dispatch for active leaks within 60 miles of Scottsdale during business hours, and within 4 hours for clients on our preventive maintenance program. Our 24/7 emergency line routes directly to the on-call superintendent.
Do you work with property management software for invoicing?
+
Yes. We currently bill into Yardi, AppFolio, MRI, and Entrata workflows, and we provide W-9, COI, and lien releases automatically with every invoice.
Can you provide a capital reserve study estimate for our portfolio?
+
Yes. We provide remaining-life estimates and replacement-cost ranges for roofing, waterproofing, and protective coating assets at no charge for property managers and HOA boards.
What's the difference between restoration and replacement?
+
Restoration restores watertight performance by installing a fluid-applied coating over a sound existing substrate. Replacement removes the existing assembly down to the deck and starts over. Restoration is typically 40–60% less expensive and possible on roughly 70% of the commercial roofs we inspect.
How do you handle work in occupied buildings?
+
We phase work to minimize tenant disruption, use low-VOC materials where possible, post written tenant notifications 72 hours in advance, and coordinate with property management on access and elevator scheduling. Most of our work is in occupied buildings.
Do you provide proposals at no cost?
+
Yes. Site inspections and written proposals are free for commercial projects. For larger projects we may include moisture surveys, pull tests, or destructive testing in the scope at additional cost — quoted before any work begins.
Are your applicators OSHA certified?
+
All foremen and superintendents carry OSHA 30. Every crew member completes OSHA 10 within 30 days of hire. Job-specific safety plans are produced for every project over 5,000 sq ft.
Do you self-perform or use subcontractors?
+
We self-perform 100% of our waterproofing, coating, and sealant work with our own employees. We occasionally use vetted subcontractors for concrete repair scopes that exceed our crew capacity, always under our direct supervision.
What manufacturers do you work with?
+
GE/Momentive, GAF, Sika, Stonhard, Henry, Carlisle, Tremco, Pecora, Dow, Prosoco, BASF, Neogard, Karnak, CETCO, Emseal, Dur-A-Flex, and Sherwin-Williams General Polymers, among others. We are manufacturer-certified applicators for several of these.
Can you bid public-sector and prevailing wage work?
+
Yes. We are set up for AZ prevailing wage projects, can produce certified payroll, and have experience bidding ITB and RFP work for school districts and municipalities.
Do you offer bilingual service?
+
Yes. Our project teams operate in English and Spanish, and bilingual project communication is available on request — particularly useful on HOA and multifamily projects.
What's your minimum project size?
+
We focus on commercial and institutional projects. Most of our work falls between $25,000 and $750,000. Smaller emergency or PM work is accepted for existing clients on a case-by-case basis.
Can you coordinate with our architect or consultant?
+
Yes — and we prefer it. We routinely work with envelope consultants, roof consultants, and architects on submittals, mock-ups, and field QA. Their involvement usually results in a better outcome for the owner.
How long does a typical commercial roof restoration take?
+
Most 30,000–80,000 sq ft roof restorations are completed in 2–4 weeks of weather-permitting work. We provide a detailed schedule with every proposal.
Do you do residential work?
+
We focus on commercial and institutional projects. We do not currently bid single-family residential. For multifamily and HOA-managed communities, see our Industries page.
