Commercial metal roofing has many benefits, such as its relatively low maintenance requirements and waterproof characteristics. However, it isn’t invincible and time will take its toll. As the years add up, its protective finish may fade, rust may settle in and rivets can pop, causing leaks and other issues. However, these issues are not necessarily the end of the line for your roof. At Silver Creek Roofing we offer a restorative option that is much less time consuming and more affordable than complete metal roof replacement. Here’s what you need to know about metal roof restoration in Kentucky.
What is Metal Roof Restoration
Metal roof restoration is the process of revitalizing a commercial roof so that its life is greatly extended and its appearances are improved. Our process for metal roof restoration includes:
Cleaning & Priming: We do extensive prep work to ensure the roof is going to perform as expected.
Caulking: We caulk every metal fastener head to ensure that water is kept out.
Seam Protection: This waterproofing process protects seams, preventing leaks and corrosion for decades to come.
Final Coating: A final application of roof restoration topcoat adds leak prevention and a reflective quality that will help reduce cooling costs.
Benefits of Metal Roof Restoration
There are many benefits to metal roof restoration compared to roof replacement. Among them are time and money. It is significantly less expensive and less time consuming to perform a roof restoration than a complete replacement of a metal roof. Additionally, metal roof restoration is more environmentally friendly as there is less production of new roofing material.
When should you Perform Metal Roof Replacement?
Even though restoration is generally preferred, there are times when replacement is actually the way to go. A replacement may be necessary if:
- The roof has major structural issues
- Leaking flashings
- Significant rust damage
