Home / Metal Roof Coating
A metal roof coating stops leaking at the fasteners and seams, stops rusting at the surface, and reflects most of the summer heat it used to pass into the building. Without replacing a single panel.
Certified To Install
It gets patched, it holds through one dry spell, and it is back the next time the wind drives rain the wrong way.
We find where the water actually gets in before anyone quotes you a system.
A full tear-off was quoted on a roof that may not need one, and nobody showed you the condition of the deck.
We say so when a roof does not need replacing, even though replacing it pays us more.
Mil thickness, ponding ratios, a system name you were told to trust. You are responsible for the building and cannot check a word of it.
Nothing happens on your roof without you knowing first. That is the rule here, not a slogan.
That is the one that costs the most and it is the reason this company exists. The contractor who came in sixty thousand dollars cheaper than us on a roof nearby is no longer trading. We are the ones installing the replacement.
Ask us who services your roof in year three. It is the only question on this page we can answer with a name.
Metal expands in heat and contracts in cold, and a long panel moves a surprising distance across a year. Every cycle works against the fasteners holding it down and the laps joining it to the next panel.
That is why a metal roof that was watertight for fifteen years starts leaking in several places at once. Nothing broke. It simply moved enough times.
A dark or bare metal roof absorbs solar heat and passes it into the building. On a warehouse or a plant with limited insulation, that is a real load on both the people and the cooling.
A reflective coated surface sends most of it back. Owners tend to call about leaks and then talk about the temperature difference afterwards.
A metal roof can move a noticeable amount between a July afternoon and a January night. That movement works fasteners loose, opens laps and fatigues seams. The panels themselves are usually fine.
Seams and fasteners get reinforced and the field gets coated, so a roof made of hundreds of separate pieces behaves like one continuous membrane that moves together.
Uninsulated or lightly insulated metal buildings pass a great deal of summer heat straight through. A reflective coated surface changes the temperature inside a warehouse noticeably, not theoretically.
Panel condition, rust, perforation, fastener state and seam integrity, photographed. Perforated panels are replaced before anything else happens.
Metal has to be genuinely clean for a coating to bond. Chalking, oxidation and dirt all have to come off first.
Loose fasteners replaced, laps and seams reinforced with fabric and coating, curbs and penetrations detailed individually.
Full system applied to specified thickness, then registered for a manufacturer warranty of up to twenty years and handed over documented.
Straight answers on cost, timeline, and what a restoration actually involves. No jargon, no sales pressure.
A free, photo-documented assessment and honest numbers on restore versus replace.
Yes, when the fasteners and seams are addressed as part of it, which is where those roofs leak. A coating applied over loose fasteners without treating them will not, and that is the version of this work that gives coatings a bad name.
Yes, though they fail differently. Standing seam moves at the clips and the seams, screw-down moves against every fastener. The detailing changes, the principle does not.
Usually a lot, particularly on a lightly insulated metal building. A reflective coated surface stops much of the solar gain at the roof rather than letting it into the space. It is the most commonly reported benefit after the leaks stopping.
Those get replaced first. Coating is for sound metal. A roof with a handful of perforated panels is still a restoration job. A roof that is perforated throughout is a replacement, and we will tell you.
Yes. Nothing is removed, so the building is never open. Work is sequenced around your hours.
