Replace, retrofit or restore?
| Option | When it fits |
|---|---|
| Full replacement | Rust-through, damaged framing or decking, or a shingle roof being converted |
| Metal-over-metal retrofit | Sound framing under worn panels; a chance to add insulation or slope |
| Coating or restoration | Panels still sound, mainly fastener and surface wear |
An inspection decides which option your roof needs.
