Owning a commercial building with a metal roof has its own set of issues that can arise. You will have to deal with damage, leaks, and the associated repairs. If you have already had that experience there is no doubt you will in the future. Having a trusted roofing company that specializes in metal roof repairs will help keep these headaches to a minimum.
Why You Need a Roof Repair
There are many reasons for a roof to need repairs, here are just a few of those reasons:
- Leak Development. The development of leaks can be caused by a variety of things including normal wear and tear to weather-related damages. Washers around screws can wear out, allowing water to follow the screw into the building. Seams can begin to separate, sheets can lift, or rust can develop within the sheets themselves.
- Other Common Roof Defects. Some other common issues are seam separation, roof oxidation, flashing opening, ridge or headwall flashing opening, improper installation, panel damages, and fastener blackouts.
- Significant Weather Events. Natural disasters have an obvious effect on a commercial roof, regardless of type. Tornados, hailstorms, snowstorms, and heavy rainfall, all can create significant damage that requires immediate repair

Inspection
We always start with an inspection of your entire commercial roof before we do any work. This allows us to know exactly what needs to be repaired. Then, we will give you a detailed report that will not only let you know what needs to be repaired, but also what materials we recommend, and the cost and timeframe necessary to do the job correctly.
Minor Repairs
Nails. When there are loose or missing nails, we replace them with new ones. This way that area is not left loose, risking more damage.
Holes or Rust. Holes and rust patches are signs of deterioration. When we find rust, we remove it with a wire brush. Then we prime the metal and paint it to match your roof. If we find a hole, we will cut a square around it then replace that area with a new piece.
Leaks. Depending on the cause of the leak will determine how we fix the problem. If missing washers are the cause of it, we will replace them. We will frequently recommend a coating to seal up all other leaks.
Seams and Edges. When seams or edges pull up we correct them by making sure they are fresh, and tight with everything else.
Damaged Flashing. When the flashing is damaged we completely replace it. This ensures that it can do its job to its full extent.
