Not worth my time or money
After a couple of weeks, the paint eroded off in San Francisco rains. Save yourself the hassle of recleaning, and use silicone sealer paint.

    Mary-Please keep in mind this coating is NOT intended to stop leaks. The white acrylic roof coatings are for reflectivity purposes only. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Company and The Home Depot.

    Works as Advertised!
    I have central air in my mobile home, but the air conditioner couldn't cool the inside to a temperature that was cooler than the outdoor temperature without running continuously. I applied Henry's 287 to the roof of my mobile home today and for the first time this summer, the inside of my mobile home is cooler than the outside temperature! My air conditioner is running much less and the mobile home stays cool. Only time will tell if the product will last the advertised 7 years, but at this point, i have no reason to doubt that claim. Had I known this product worked, I probably would've used Henry's 887, which has a lifetime warranty.

      Waste of money
      24 hrs after application, not expecting rain, but it did rain and most of the product just ran off the roof, down the gutter and all over my driveway. White paint everywhere. It was dry to the touch last night and back to liquid state again today. It was applied to clean almost flat asphalt roll roofing, as per directions Not impressed and not sure what to do now.

      Does the job.
      I have a rubberized roof and the initial coating wore off a long time ago,. The roof was long over due for some kind of treatment. I chose this coating, the SOLARFLEX WHITE ROOF COATING, based on several of the reviews. It seemed to work in terms of reducing the internal temperature of the rooms, so I thought I would give it a try and I'm very glad I did. Not only does it work but it was a breeze to apply. I used a roller with a 3/4" nap. If you just follow directions and realize you do not have to be able to eat off the roof in terms of cleanliness, you will do a great job. You might have a question in your own mind in terms of coverage, but the coverage is excellent. I did 3 coats on 1000 sq ft and used about 10.5 gallons, two pales worth and some from a third. If you lay it on thick, as you go, you might be able to get away with doing 2 coats, but I took it easy, not knowing what kind of coverage I was going to get. The rooms are definitely cooler and I feel I extended my roof life in the process, which makes it an excellent product in terms of usefulness and value. By the way, I never had to mix it, which was a bonus and it took about 1.5 hours per 500 sq ft to apply the first coat and about 1 hour to apply each of the last 2 coats. You can easily do 2 coats in a day. For your own sake, don't do it in the middle of the day, though.

      Well worth the Money, Great Product
      I had to use (10) 5gal containers to coat my 1400sgft flat roof in Monrovia, CA, I applied three coats and it does make a big difference, not only is it a lot cooler but it much easier to wash it down the leaves that collect in some of the corners. I could plug the drains in the roof fill it with water and have a 3 foot deep pool on my roof, great for floating around on on a hot summer day, how cool would that be? It would also make a good advertising space that could be seen by passing helicopters and airplanes.

      BernieR, Henry 287 Solar-Flex really is easy to apply. While it can be brushed on it is suggested that it be applied with a deep-pile roller. If this is a first time application two coats must be applied. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.
