If you are seeing this now, then I suggest you have someone look at iyour roof fairly soon. The guy that I chose to do my re-coating has been doing it for about 20 years and his price is pretty reasonable. The quotes which I received (in Arizona) ranged from $350.00 to as high as $1,200.00. My guy is charging $450.00 to thoroughly clean the roof, seal around all vents and apply 2 coats of Elastomeric roof sealer. Some of the other contractors said this wouldn't stick and would only last for a year or less (they also wanted a lot more money to "do it right"). My guy says I should get at least 5 years out of it, even in the Arizona desert. I painted my stucco house with an Elastomeric product about 4 years ago (without cleaning it) and have had zero issues with it, so I decided to take the chance. I'll let you know how I make out!

It is EPDM Rubber and chalking is normal The Chalk is just white pigment used to color the roof so it is only cosmetic
