Spray Foam Roofing Systems In Springfield, Missouri

Spray foam works best on flat and low-slope commercial roofs. It is a good match for roofs crowded with HVAC units, vents and pipes, because the foam is sprayed in place and wraps around each one instead of being cut and sealed around it. In many cases it can go over the existing roof, which saves the cost and mess of a tear-off. That only works when what is underneath is dry and solid.

• Metal buildingsFoam covers leaking laps and loose fasteners and adds insulation to buildings that often have very little.
• Roofs that pond waterWe can spray the foam thicker in low areas to build in slope and move water toward the drains.
• Older flat roofsBuilt-up and modified bitumen roofs in fair shape can often be covered once any wet sections are cut out.
• Poor candidatesRoofs with a damaged deck or widespread wet insulation need that fixed first, or a different system altogether.

It starts with an inspection. We walk the roof, check the deck, look at drains and edges, and test for trapped moisture. Wet insulation has to come out before any foam goes down. Then comes prep. We clean the surface, fasten loose panels or flashing, and mask off rooftop units, walls and anything nearby that overspray could reach, including parked cars.

The foam goes on as a liquid and quickly expands into a solid layer. Our crew builds it up in passes to the thickness your roof needs. Once the foam is down, we apply a protective coating over the top, because foam breaks down in sunlight without it. Spraying needs dry surfaces and light wind, so we plan the schedule around Missouri weather.

Our spray foam roofs typically run $600 to $800 per roofing square, and a square is 100 square feet. Where your project lands in that range depends on how thick the foam needs to be, how much wet material we remove first, the number of units and penetrations, the height of the roof and how easy it is to reach, and the coating we put on top.

Upkeep is simple. Have the roof looked at once a year and after any big hail or wind storm. We look for punctures, blisters, bare spots in the coating and wear from foot traffic. Small spots get cleaned and sealed. When the coating wears thin over the years, we clean the roof and recoat it, which renews the protection without replacing the foam.
