How long does a foam roof last?

With proper maintenance, a foam roof can last 20-30 years or more. Regular inspections and re-coating every 5-10 years help extend its lifespan and maintain its protective qualities.

Are foam roofs energy efficient?

Yes! Foam roofs have high insulation properties, reducing heat transfer and lowering energy costs. Their reflective coating also helps keep buildings cooler in hot climates, making them an eco-friendly option.

How do you maintain a foam roof?

Like all roofs it is important to schedule regular inspections of your foam roof to check for damage, remove debris, and reapply protective coatings when needed to prevent UV damage and maintain waterproofing.

Can a foam roof be installed over an existing roof?

In many cases, yes. Foam roofing can be applied directly over some existing roofing materials, reducing the need for costly tear-offs and minimizing waste. However, a professional inspection is needed to ensure the old roof is suitable for a newer foam application.

What is a Foam Roof?

Foam roofs, also known as Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofs or spray foam, are applied as a liquid that expands and solidifies into a durable, seamless layer. This unique application process fills cracks, gaps, and other penetrations to create an airtight, water-resistant seal over your roof.

A residential foam roofing system consists of a one-inch layer of closed cell polyurethane spray foam followed by a UV-resistant coating that protects against Arizona’s harsh climate and extends the polyurethane’s lifespan.

With regular maintenance and periodic reapplication of the UV protective layer (approximately every 7-10 years), a residential foam roof can last as long as your home itself.

Residential Foam Roofing Installation Process

Our expert team at Azul Roofing is dedicated to making your foam roof installation easy and stress-free. Here’s what to expect from our process:

Step 1: Free, No-Obligation Roof Evaluation

We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation where we inspect your roof, discuss your options, and provide a zero-cost estimate.

Step 2: Scheduling & Preparation

The next step is to schedule your foam roof installation. We’ll clean and prepare your roof to ensure the foam adheres properly. This might include removing old roofing materials, repairing damaged areas, and ensuring the surface is clean and free of debris.

Step 3: Applying Primer (If Needed)

In some cases, a primer is applied to your roof’s surface to improve adhesion of the foam. This ensures the foam bonds securely to the substrate to create a strong foundation.

Step 4: Spraying the Foam

The foam is sprayed in liquid form directly onto the prepared roof. As it expands and hardens, it creates a seamless, solid layer that waterproofs and insulates the roof. We spray the foam in layers until we achieve the desired thickness and coverage.

Step 5: Curing

During the curing process, the foam expands to fill any gaps or irregularities in the roof’s surface. This creates a continuous, airtight seal that improves insulation and prevents water infiltration.

Step 6: Applying Protective Coating

After curing, we apply a protective coating to protect against UV rays and weathering. This helps extend the lifespan of your foam roof.

Step 7: Cleanup

Once the roof installation is complete, we clean up your property so it looks like we were never even here (besides your new roof!)

Seamless Barrier

The liquid application process creates a seamless, watertight barrier that prevents leaks and water infiltration.

Durability

Foam roofs are resistant to leaks, cracks, and extreme weather conditions – including Arizona’s monsoon rains and desert winds. With proper maintenance, they can last 30+ years.

Energy-Efficiency

Foam roofs have some of the best insulating properties, keeping homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This can reduce electricity bills year-round.

Lightweight

Foam roofing is lightweight, which minimizes structural stress. This makes it ideal for buildings with load-bearing limitations.

Flexibility

Foam roofing can be used on virtually any surface, including irregularly shaped roofs, roof penetrations, and protrusions.

Low Maintenance

Besides routine inspections and UV coating reapplications every 7-10 years, minimal maintenance is needed.

Quick Installation

Most foam roofing projects don’t require tearing off the existing roof, speeding up installation.

Warranties

Foam roofs often come with 10, 15, or 20 year warranties for added peace of mind.

Maintenance and Longevity of Foam Roofs

Foam roofs can last 30+ years in Arizona when properly maintained:

Routine inspections are essential for identifying and addressing potential issues early on, helping prevent costly repairs or early foam roof replacement.
Reapplying the UV-protective coating every 7-10 years significantly extends the lifespan of foam roofs and helps maintain their energy-efficient properties.
