About Our Bristol Metal Roof Coating Work
How We Inspect, Prepare, and Coat Commercial Steel Roofs
A few plain facts about our Bristol metal roof coating work: we inspect first, fix what leaks, and coat only roofs that will hold it.
What to Know About Our Bristol Metal Roof Coating Work
Everything about our Bristol metal roof coating work starts on the roof itself. We look at the panels, laps, fasteners, and insulation before talking about a system or a price.
Commercial buildings are all we coat: plants, warehouses, shops, churches, schools, garages, and farm buildings. Homes are outside the work we take on.
- Prices start from the published $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot range
- Repairs are listed in writing before coating
- Each roof gets the system its slope and drainage call for
- Thickness is measured wet as the coat goes on
Want a Second Look at an Old Coating?
If an earlier coating is peeling or a patch keeps failing, call and describe it. We will tell you what usually causes it and what a fix involves.
Our Inspection Checklist
These are the items every roof walk covers, whatever system the roof ends up with.
- Fasteners pulled and checked for wallowed holes and cracked washers
- Side laps and end laps checked for lift and gaps
- Rusted areas probed for depth and soft steel
- Skylights, curbs, and vents checked for cracked flashing
- Low spots marked where water sits after rain
- Insulation checked for moisture from inside the building
- Gutters, eave trim, and drains checked for clogs and loose joints
- Earlier coatings and patches tested for adhesion
What We Do and What We Will Not Do
Being clear about the limits saves owners money. Here is where we draw the lines.
What We Do
- Repair fasteners, laps, and flashings before coating
- Treat and prime rust down to firm steel
- Replace holed panels before the field coat
- Match the system to slope and drainage
- Measure coating thickness as it goes on
What We Will Not Do
- Coat over steel that is rusted through
- Price a roof we have never walked
- Spray foam over a structure that was never checked
- Coat acrylic onto a roof that ponds
- Promise a lifespan the roof cannot back up
