    Location

    Inspected
    July 8, 2026
    Buildings
    12 multifamily
    System
    Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) with elastomeric coating

    Findings

    • Original elastomeric top coat has chalked and thinned across all buildings, no reflective surface left, driving up interior AC loads.
    • Widespread UV blistering and alligator cracking exposing raw foam substrate in high-sun zones.
    • Heavy vegetative debris trapped along parapets and around AC/vent penetrations, holding moisture against the coating.
    • Foam core still structurally sound in ~85% of surveyed area, property is a strong candidate for a full recoat rather than tear-off.
    Our recommendation

    Debris removal, targeted foam patching around penetrations, and a full 2-coat elastomeric recoat with a 10-year renewable manufacturer warranty. Estimated 40-50% cost savings vs. tear-off.
