WHAT FAILS ON A METAL ROOF
The steel usually outlasts everything attached to it. On exposed fastener roofs, rubber washers dry out in the Texas sun and screws back out as panels expand and contract. Sealant at ridges, laps and penetrations cracks. Scratches and cut edges rust. Maintenance replaces those small parts before they let water in.

METAL ROOF MAINTENANCE QUESTIONS
HOW OFTEN DOES A METAL ROOF NEED MAINTENANCE?
An annual inspection is a good baseline. Exposed fastener roofs need fastener checks more often than standing seam.
CAN A RUSTY METAL ROOF BE SAVED?
Usually, if the rust is on the surface. Cleaning, treatment and a coating can restore it. Panels rusted through need replacing. See metal roof repair.
SHOULD I COAT OR REPAINT MY METAL ROOF?
Repainting restores color on a sound painted roof; a coating seals and protects an aging or leaking one. We'll recommend the right one after an inspection.
