Rivera Park Apartments Foam Roof Inspection, Chandler AZ
Drone inspection of a 12-building Chandler multifamily complex where a documented elastomeric recoat replaces a full foam tear-off and saves the owner roughly $180,000.
A 12-building multifamily complex where a $30k+ recoat saves the owner an estimated $180k versus a full foam tear-off. Real drone inspection, real findings, no upsell.
Location
Chandler, AZ
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.
