Water readings matter on Marina District low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the issue in rather than solving it. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Marina District job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
Metal has grown in Marina District for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Silicone coatings hold up well on Marina District roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Standing seam on a Marina District property hides its fixings, which removes the the majority of common leak path on exposed metal. We see it on Marina District roofs every week.
