- Coating that grips because the residue came off first.
- Panels stay on, so no process equipment is disturbed.
- Rust downwind of vents stops spreading once primed.
As an Auburn metal roof coating contractor, we coat metal roofs on Auburn, Indiana manufacturing buildings, with extra work around exhaust fans and process vents.


Auburn metal roof coating on plant roofs starts where the fans and vents are, because heat and residue there decide how well coating bonds.

Exhaust fans and process vents leave oil, dust, or a film on the panels around them. Coating over that film peels early, so those areas are degreased and tested before priming.
Fan curbs also move as the fans run, opening their flashing. We rebuild that flashing and reinforce it with fabric, and we plan spraying around the hours each fan can be shut down.
These are the conditions that show up around Auburn plant roofs most often.
Residue from process exhaust coats the panels downwind of each fan. It is cleaned off with a degreaser and tested before primer goes on.
Water dripping near machinery under a fan means the curb flashing has worked loose. That curb is rebuilt first.
Panels near hot vents run much warmer than the rest. We note them so the coating chosen can take that heat.
Moist exhaust settles on nearby panels and rusts them faster. Those panels are brushed, primed, and checked for thin steel.
Screws near running fans back out faster. They are replaced with oversized screws and sealed under the coating.
On a manufacturing roof, each group cares about different things.
Auburn plant roofs can take any of our five systems. These are the conditions that point to each.

Exposed-fastener plant roofs with rust downwind of vents get the full metal system.
Low roof areas near drains that hold water after rain take silicone.

Pitched panel roofs on shops and warehouses take acrylic.

Plant roofs leaking at many laps can take foam, kept clear of hot vents.

Shingled office fronts take a breathable shingle coating.
Call and tell us which fan and what equipment sits below. Fan curb leaks are the first repair we plan.
(260) 620-8962Fans and vents get their own steps before the rest of the roof is coated.
We map every fan, vent, and curb, test the residue around them, read moisture at suspect laps, and note hot zones near process vents.
Fan curb flashing is rebuilt, and the film around fans and vents is degreased and tested until the surface is clean.
Screws are replaced, rust is primed, and fabric goes over laps and curbs in a base coat.
Field coating is sprayed with each fan shut down as its area is coated, then thickness is logged across the roof.
We serve these towns as well. If your building is outside them, call us or send us a message.
What Auburn plant owners ask before a roof walk.
We do, and Auburn is a regular stop. Plant roofs get moisture checks, screw replacement, seam reinforcement, and a coating picked for slope and drainage. Exhaust fans and process vents get extra cleaning, since heat and residue there affect how well coating bonds.
Coating runs about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot in our published range, and replacement about $5 to $8. Residue cleaning, curb rebuilds, rust repairs, and the coating thickness change the final price after the walk.
We cover Auburn from Fort Wayne and schedule roof walks around your production calendar. Call with the address and the number of fans on the roof.
Call and describe the leak. Curb and lap leaks over equipment get a temporary seal first, and the full coating job is scheduled once the roof is dry.
Only where the product is rated for that heat. Hot zones are measured on the walk, and the area right around a very hot vent may get a different detail or stay uncoated.
Your maintenance lead gives us the hours each fan can be off. The roof is coated in that order, starting with fans that can stop longest, and each fan restarts once its area has set.
Brushing to firm steel and priming stops the rust at each treated spot. Panels thinned through near a vent are replaced first, and the coating then covers the primed steel.
Tell us how many fans and vents sit on the roof. We will check the residue and curbs and price the coating.
