Foam Roofing Services
At City Pro LLC, we specialize in high-performance spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing systems that are designed to protect your property, cut energy costs, and stand the test of time. Whether you’re considering roof restoration, need spray foam repairs, or want a sustainable roofing solution for your commercial building, our experienced team in Chandler, AZ has you covered.
What Is Spray Foam Roofing?
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) is a plural-component material made by combining isocyanate and polyol with heat and pressure. These chemicals are sprayed as liquids and react to form a solid, fully-adhered roofing membrane. The result is a lightweight, seamless, waterproof barrier with the highest R-value of any commercial roofing product.
Unlike traditional roofing materials, SPF adheres directly to your existing roof surface and can be applied to nearly any shape or structure. It’s self-flashing, filling cracks and gaps while creating a smooth, protective surface free of seams or fasteners that often allow water intrusion.
Roof Restoration vs. Replacement
Roof restoration is the process of renewing your existing roof using elastomeric roof coatings. These systems are flexible, watertight, and reflective. Restoration often costs 50-70% less than a full tear-off and replacement because it uses less labor and fewer materials.
Rather than removing your old roof, we repair and reinforce it—adding years to its service life. Most commercial roofs last 20-25 years, but restoration can add 7-15 more years, especially when maintained and recoated as needed. Restoration is also far less disruptive to your day-to-day operations and is significantly more sustainable, keeping tons of roofing waste out of landfills.

With proper maintenance, the foam roof can last as long as the house or building.
Military-Tested Foam Performance
SPF is so effective, it's been used by the U.S. military to reduce energy usage and save lives. In 2007, the Army used SPF to insulate tents and structures in Iraq and Afghanistan to lower the need for fuel and cooling. One test in Georgia showed a 92% reduction in cooling energy, and a similar test in Baghdad brought a gym's temperature down from 92°F to 70°F using only two A/C units instead of eight.
Over 12 million square feet of spray foam has been applied to military structures, saving up to $1 billion annually in energy and logistics costs, and removing fuel trucks from dangerous convoys. Spray foam also improved indoor air quality, reduced dust, noise, mold, and fire risk—making it a true “no-brainer” for extreme environments.
Foam Roofing Installation Process
Installing a spray foam roof involves several key steps:
-
Surface Prep: We clean the roof via pressure washing to remove debris.
-
SPF Application: A minimum 1-inch foam layer is applied and shaped for proper drainage.
-
Elastomeric Coating: Multiple coats of UV-resistant elastomeric coating are applied.
-
Granule Broadcast: Granules can be added for added durability and UV protection.
This process typically takes about two weeks for a 20,000 sq. ft. roof (weather permitting).
SPF Roofing Maintenance
SPF roofs are incredibly low maintenance, but routine inspections are important. We recommend bi-annual checks in spring and fall, and especially after severe weather or rooftop service visits. Minor damage can be repaired with mastic or sealant, but severe UV damage or saturation requires cutting out and reapplying new foam.
Recoat Every 10-15 Years: Recoating with the original chemistry extends the life of your SPF system to 30 years or more. Maintenance is key to ensuring you only need to install a foam roof once.
What Does It Cost?
Spray foam roofing costs $5 to $12 per square foot, depending on roof complexity, foam thickness, and location. Though the upfront cost may vary, SPF offers a fast return on investment by reducing energy bills and eliminating tear-off expenses.

Not all contractors are qualified to install SPF. The process requires specialized equipment, expert training, and deep product knowledge.
