Before commenting on maintenance, let us mention that our
Leak-Proof Guarantee is valid regardless of whether or not the roof is maintained. Also, our roofs will last a
minimum of 20 years with
no maintenance. However, property owners who want the
most value out of the Dura-Foam System are recommended to follow the guidance below:
Follow the schedule below to perpetually maintain your Dura-Foam Roof.

Free Roof Inspections
Every 5 years, when the Free Roof Inspection takes place, minor touch-ups are performed if needed. Often, no minor touch-ups are needed and no charges are made to the property owner. When minor touch-ups
are needed, the cost of this work is usually about $25 per 1000 square feet of roof surface. These touch-ups, when needed, are extremely affordable to our customers because we do not charge for travel time on Free Roof Inspections.
Best Results with First Re-Coat at Year 5
Applying the
first coating upgrade at the 5-year mark is highly recommended because it preserves the original SPF roof in newer condition. Additional re-coats are recommended every 20 years. Through our experience of installing, inspecting, and re-coating many thousands of Dura-Foam roofs for over 28 years, we have seen that roofs with the
first re-coat applied at year 5 perform best. On these roofs, the new coating lasts longer because it adheres better. Also, if weather and UV rays break-down an area of the re-coat layer, the roof's original coatings are still strong enough to protect the roof system until it is touched-up at the next Free Roof Inspection.
The Re-Coat Installation Process
As our roofs continue to age, re-coats are needed about every 20 years. Re-coating is also much faster and much less traumatic than re-roofing. First, pure water is used to pressure-wash the roof surface. Second, primers and sealants are used to prepare the dry roof surface. Lastly, the new coating layer is sprayed to specified thickness in an even layer that coats the whole roof surface.
Time has Proven that Our System Works
Dura-Foam has been installing Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Roofs for over 28 years. The oldest foam roofs are over 40 years old. Roofs that have been recoated per the 5 & 25 plan continue to perform like new.
