Common Questions

DesertShield, answered

What Arizona homeowners ask most before protecting their exterior.

What is DesertShield by Apex?
DesertShield is a premium exterior coating system installed by Apex Concepts AZ, built around TEX·COTE COOLWALL® reflective coating technology. It is designed specifically for Arizona's climate — intense UV, extreme summer heat, and monsoon moisture. The system combines extensive surface preparation, cool-pigment color options, and a reflective topcoat that keeps exterior walls measurably cooler than conventional paint.
How much cooler does TEX·COTE COOLWALL keep a house?
TEX·COTE COOLWALL® reflects solar heat rather than absorbing it, lowering exterior wall surface temperatures by up to 40°F compared with conventional exterior paint. Cooler walls mean less heat transferring into the home, which reduces the load on air conditioning during Arizona summers.
How is DesertShield different from regular exterior paint?
Standard exterior paint is a thin decorative film that absorbs solar heat and typically fades within a few Arizona summers. DesertShield is a thicker coating system rather than a paint. It uses reflective cool pigments to reject solar heat, resists UV fade, remains flexible enough to bridge hairline stucco cracks, resists moisture intrusion and mildew, and repels dirt so the finish stays cleaner with less maintenance.
Does DesertShield come with a warranty?
Yes. DesertShield carries a lifetime limited manufacturer warranty on the coating, and Apex backs the installation with a 2-year labor warranty. Ask your specialist for the complete written warranty terms.
What areas of Arizona does Apex install DesertShield in?
Apex Concepts AZ installs DesertShield across the Greater Phoenix metro area, including Phoenix, North Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Arcadia, and Fountain Hills. Call (602) 742-6102 to confirm availability at your address.
How much does DesertShield cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the home, the condition of the existing exterior surface, how much preparation and repair is needed, and the finish selected. Apex provides a free, no-obligation in-person estimate — a specialist assesses the home and provides written pricing before any commitment.
