Metal roofing is known for its durability, energy efficiency, and attractive appearance, making it a very popular choice for commercial property owners. However, even the toughest metal roofs can begin to show signs of wear and tear over time. This is where metal restoration comes in.
Metal restoration is the process of repairing and rejuvenating a metal roof that has suffered from damage or wear over time. Metal restoration extends the life of your metal roof, improves the appearance, and prevents further damage.
The Outback Exteriors team specializes in metal roof restoration services. With our years of experience, preference for premium materials, and unwavering customer service, you can trust your metal roof restoration will stand up for years.
Metal Roof Restoration Benefits
Metal roof restoration has several benefits for your commercial or industrial building.
Cost Effective: Metal roof restoration is a cost-effective alternative to roof replacement. By restoring your metal roof rather than replacing it, you eliminate the need for an expensive tear-off. Not only is the cost of materials reduced, the time-saving nature of a restoration also reduces labor costs and keeps your business open.
Longevity: Metal restoration extends the lifespan of your roof by repairing and replacing damaged components. By adding a seamless layer of waterproof protection across the entire roofing surface, you virtually eliminate the risk of leak development. Restoration also helps reduce the risk of rust development.
Aesthetics: Metal roof restoration improves the appearance of your roof by removing rust, corrosion, and other signs of wear and tear.
Environmentally Friendly: Metal roof restoration is a sustainable solution that prevents metal roofing materials from ending up in landfills needlessly.
Energy Efficient – The highly reflective nature of a metal roof restoration reduces solar heat to your roof by up to 85%. This reduction results in reduced cooling costs. Savings of 30% or more is typical, depending on location.
Renewable – Restorations may be re-applied as necessary, not only extending the protection, but also renewing the warranty with each reapplication.
Metal Roof Restoration Process
All roofs are unique. A general overview of the steps involved would include:
Inspection: We will inspect your roof to assess its condition and identify any areas that require repair prior to restoration.
Cleaning: The roof is carefully cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and other potentially damaging impurities.
Repair: Metal sheets, fasteners, and flashing are fixed or replaced if they are damaged.
Preparation: The roofing system seams, and all connectors are caulked. The roof system is prepped with a rust inhibiting layer.
Coating: A protective coating is applied to the roof to prevent future damage and improve its appearance. This coating begins as a fluid that is sprayed or rolled on. It covers the entire roofing system, including protrusions, flashings, and parapet walls. As it dries, it forms a single, seamless layer of waterproof protection.
Inspection and Maintenance: Regular inspections and maintenance ensures the ongoing protection and longevity of your newly restored metal roof.
