Can you coat a rusty metal roof?
Yes, as long as the panels are still structurally sound. Surface rust is cleaned and treated, and primer is applied where needed before the coating goes on. Panels that are rusted through are repaired or replaced first.
Will a coating stop leaks at fasteners and seams?
Fasteners, seams, and penetrations are where most metal roof leaks start, so they get extra prep and reinforcement before the full roof is coated. The finished coating forms a seamless membrane over the entire surface.
Should I choose silicone or acrylic for my metal roof?
Silicone is very durable and handles areas where water drains slowly. Acrylic is a bright, UV-resistant option that works well on metal roofs that shed water freely. We recommend the system after looking at your roof's slope, drainage, and budget.
Does a metal roof coating reduce heat and energy costs?
A white, reflective cool roof coating reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it, which lowers the roof surface temperature and can reduce the cooling load on the building below.
Is coating cheaper than replacing a metal roof?
Usually, yes. Coating restores the existing roof without a tear-off, new panels, or disposal costs. If the roof is too far gone to coat, we'll tell you and walk you through replacement options.
Can my business stay open during the coating project?
In most cases, yes. All the work happens on the roof, with no tear-off, so operations inside the building can usually continue as normal.
Are metal roof coatings covered by a warranty?
Yes. Coating systems come with manufacturer product warranties, and our workmanship warranties cover our installation.
