About Our Fort Wayne Metal Roof Coating Work
Repairs First, Coating Second, On Every Commercial Roof
Read about our Fort Wayne metal roof coating work: we walk the roof, fix what leaks, prime the rust, and only then coat the panels.
More About Our Fort Wayne Metal Roof Coating Work
Here is more about our Fort Wayne metal roof coating work, from the first roof walk to the last measured coat.
Every part of our Fort Wayne metal roof coating work starts on the roof with the owner or facility manager. We look at the same laps, screws, and curbs together, so the price you get matches what you saw.
Coating goes on last. Laps are fastened and sealed, loose screws are replaced, rusted spots are primed, and wet insulation is cut out before a single coat of the field material goes down.

Leak Showing Up After Every Thaw?
Call and describe where the water appears. Snowmelt leaks usually trace back to eave laps and gutter ends, and we will check those first.
(260) 620-8962What We Check Before Recommending A Coating
Each item on this list can change the system, the repairs, or the answer to whether coating makes sense at all.
Rust Depth
A screwdriver test at the worst laps shows whether the steel is scaled on top or thin all the way through.
Screw And Washer Condition
Cracked washers and backed-out screws are counted by roof section so the repair list is accurate.
Water That Stays Put
Stains and dirt rings show where water sits after a storm, which points to silicone in those spots.
Moisture Under The Panels
Meter readings at suspect laps tell us whether the insulation below is dry enough to cover.
Curbs And Penetrations
Every rooftop unit, vent, and skylight is checked for open flashing, the most common source of inside drips.
Gutters And Downspouts
Clogged gutter ends hold snowmelt against the eave laps, so their condition goes into the plan.
What We Will Not Do
Some requests come up on almost every roof walk. Here is where we draw the line, and why.
