Spray Foam Roofing in Colorado Springs, CO
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing is one of the most versatile and energy-efficient commercial roofing systems available. Elevation Commercial Roofing applies SPF systems that deliver seamless insulation, waterproofing, and structural reinforcement in a single application — making it an ideal solution for Colorado's extreme temperature swings and energy-conscious building owners.
Why Choose Elevation for Spray Foam Roofing
Superior Insulation
SPF has the highest R-value per inch of any commercial roofing insulation, dramatically reducing heating and cooling costs in Colorado's climate of extreme temperature swings.
Seamless Application
Spray foam is applied as a liquid that expands and cures in place, creating a monolithic surface with zero seams, joints, or fastener penetrations — eliminating common leak points.
Self-Flashing
SPF conforms to any shape, making it self-flashing around HVAC units, pipes, drains, and other roof penetrations that are traditionally the weakest points on a commercial roof.
Renewable System
SPF roofs can be recoated indefinitely, meaning a well-maintained spray foam roof can last the life of the building without ever requiring full replacement.
Service Details
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing combines insulation and waterproofing into a single, seamless application. The system consists of two primary layers: the foam itself (which provides insulation, waterproofing, and structural reinforcement) and a protective topcoat (which shields the foam from UV degradation and provides a durable walking surface).
Our SPF installation process begins with surface preparation of the existing roof. SPF can be applied over most existing commercial roofing systems — including metal, single-ply membranes, built-up roofing, and even existing spray foam — often eliminating the need for tear-off.
The foam is applied using specialized equipment that precisely mixes and sprays the two-component polyurethane system. It expands on contact, filling irregularities, sealing around penetrations, and building up to the specified thickness. The foam cures within seconds, creating a rigid, closed-cell insulation layer that is also completely waterproof.
After the foam is applied and inspected for proper thickness and coverage, a protective elastomeric coating is sprayed over the entire surface. This coating protects the foam from UV radiation (its only environmental vulnerability) and provides a durable, reflective surface.
The completed system delivers R-values of 6.5+ per inch, is completely seamless and self-flashing, and can be maintained indefinitely through periodic recoating. Many SPF roofs in Colorado have been performing for 30+ years with proper maintenance.

Spray Foam Roofing — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a spray foam roof last?
With proper maintenance and periodic recoating, a spray foam roof can last indefinitely — potentially the entire life of the building. The protective topcoat typically needs recoating every 10-15 years, which renews the UV protection and extends the warranty. The foam layer itself does not degrade as long as it's protected from UV exposure.
What is the R-value of spray foam roofing?
Closed-cell spray polyurethane foam delivers approximately R-6.5 per inch of thickness. A typical 1.5-inch application provides R-10, while a 3-inch application provides R-20. This is significantly higher than any other commercial roofing insulation material, making SPF particularly valuable in Colorado where heating and cooling costs are significant.
Can spray foam be applied over my existing roof?
In most cases, yes. SPF can be applied over metal, single-ply membranes, BUR, modified bitumen, concrete, and even existing spray foam — as long as the existing surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. This eliminates tear-off costs and landfill waste. We'll assess your existing roof during a free inspection.
Is spray foam roofing resistant to hail?
SPF roofing has good impact resistance and absorbs hail impact rather than cracking. The closed-cell foam structure distributes impact forces effectively. While severe hail can damage the protective coating, repairs to SPF are straightforward — damaged areas can be patched and recoated without affecting the rest of the roof system.
