Metal roof restoration, instead of replacement

Rusting panels and backed out fasteners look terminal from the ground. Most of the time they are not. A metal restoration system seals the whole roof and stops the corrosion where it is.

What goes wrong with metal roofs

Metal roofs rarely fail in the middle of a panel. They fail at the details, and they fail in a pattern you can almost set your watch by:

  • Fastener backout, screws working loose through years of thermal movement
  • Failed washers, the rubber gasket hardens and cracks, then every screw is a hole
  • Seam separation where panels lap
  • Rust starting at cut edges, scratches and standing water
  • Oil canning and movement that opens details over time
  • Failed penetration flashing at vents, curbs and units

How the MR system works

Every fastener is addressed, seams and laps are stripped in and reinforced, rust is treated, penetrations are flashed, and then the entire roof is covered in a fluid applied membrane that moves with the panels. The result is a sealed surface with no exposed fasteners for water to find, carrying a manufacturer warranty.

Why it usually beats replacement

Tearing off a metal roof means exposing the building, disposing of the old panels, and paying for both. Restoration happens over the top with the building sealed the entire time, at a fraction of the cost, and it stops the corrosion rather than just covering it.

When metal genuinely needs replacing

If panels are perforated through, if the structural fastening is compromised, or if there is significant deck damage underneath, restoration is not the answer. We will tell you that plainly and show you the photos. Selling a restoration onto a roof that cannot carry one helps nobody.

The systems we install

Conklin systems, named

We are a Conklin Preferred Contractor, so these are the systems we are trained and certified to install. If another contractor has quoted you one of these, you can compare like for like.

Conklin MR System

The metal roof system. Fasteners and laps are sealed, then the whole roof is coated into one continuous surface.

Which system suits your roof depends on the substrate, its condition and how the building is used. The roof report tells you which one and why.

Questions

Metal roof restoration questions

My metal roof is rusting. Is it too late?
Usually not. Surface rust and even fairly advanced corrosion at edges and fasteners can be treated and sealed as part of a restoration. What rules it out is perforation through the panel or damage to the structure underneath. A roof report tells you which situation you are in.
Do you replace the screws?
Every fastener is dealt with as part of the system, and the finished roof has no exposed fasteners for water to get past. That is the single biggest reason these roofs stop leaking.
Can you restore a metal roof over an occupied building?
Yes, and that is one of the main reasons to choose it. The building envelope is never opened, so operations continue underneath while the work happens.
How long does a metal restoration take?
It depends on the size of the roof and the amount of detail work, but the schedule is driven by preparation rather than the coating itself. We give you a timeline with the written scope before anything starts.
What warranty comes with the work?
Conklin systems carry a manufacturer warranty, and because we are a Preferred Contractor we can offer it on the systems we install. The term depends on the system and the condition of your roof, so we put the specific warranty in writing before you commit to anything. At the end of the term a coating system can typically be recoated to extend it rather than torn off.
