Common Issues Addressed in Metal Roof Restoration

Metal roofs are known for their durability and longevity, but they are not immune to certain issues that can arise over time.

Some common problems that may require a metal roof restoration include:

Rust and corrosion: Metal roofs can begin to rust or corrode due to exposure to moisture and harsh weather conditions. This compromises the roof's integrity and leads to leaks and other damage.
Loose fasteners: Over time, the fasteners holding the metal panels in place can become loose, causing the panels to shift or even detach from the roof. This creates gaps where water can seep in and cause damage.
Fading color: Metal roofs are often coated with paint or protective coatings to maintain their appearance. However, these coatings can fade due to exposure to UV rays and other environmental factors.
Ponding water: If the metal panels are not properly installed or have become warped, water can accumulate on the roof, creating pools that can lead to leaks and structural damage.
General wear and tear: Like any other roofing material, metal roofs can experience general wear and tear over time. This can include dents, scratches, and other damage that may affect the roof's performance.

Benefits of a Metal Roof Restoration

When your metal roof starts to look more like uncoated sheet metal, you don’t need to invest in a full replacement. Instead, you can opt for a cost-effective restoration. Not only is it the cheaper option, restoration is far less time-consuming. When you have to replace a metal roof, tearing up all the old roofing material and installing the new insulation and metal paneling takes time and often interrupts your building’s regular operations.

Not only can it be a distraction, a roof replacement also exposes its contents to the elements. Unless you have a small army conducting the replacement, it’s going to take a while. And if adequate shelter isn’t put in place, you could end up paying even more to replace essential assets and equipment.

With a restoration, there is no risk of being exposed to the elements or having your daily operations disrupted by the long construction process. Depending on the coating you have selected, it can also make your building more energy efficient. Reflective roof coatings reflect the sun’s UV rays and infrared radiation, which decreases the amount of heat the building absorbs and prolongs the life of your roof.

Rather than pull the trigger too soon on an expensive and invasive metal roof replacement, contact JD Coatings today to find out how we can restore it.

How Do You Prepare a Metal Roof for Restoration?

Before the restoration work can begin, your metal roof must be properly prepared. This process typically involves a thorough cleaning and inspection of the roof. Any debris, dirt, or loose material must be removed to ensure proper adhesion of the restoration materials.

The roof will also be inspected for any damage that may need to be addressed before the restoration process can begin.

Once the surface is clean and free of any issues, a primer may be applied to enhance the adhesion of the restoration materials. This step ensures that the roof coating will properly bond to the metal surface and provide long-lasting protection.
