Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a metal roof restoration last?
It depends on panel condition, the system applied, and maintenance. Ask the contractor to put the expected service life and the warranty terms in writing.
Can you restore a rusted metal roof without replacing it?
Yes. Surface rust is treated with a rust-inhibiting primer, fasteners are tightened or replaced, seams are reinforced with butyl tape and fabric, then two coats of Conklin acrylic top coat seal the entire roof. No tear-off is needed as long as the panels and structure are sound.
How much does metal roof restoration cost vs. replacement?
Whether restoration costs less than replacement depends on the roof's condition, which an on-site inspection confirms. A written proposal compares both after the inspection.
Will the coating stop leaks at the seams and fasteners?
Yes. Every seam and fastener is reinforced with butyl tape, polyester fabric, and base coat before the top coats are applied. The finished system is fully monolithic and waterproof.
