The program provides the contractor with the confidence he needs to successfully accommodate customer needs. The follow-up is just as important. The manufacturer should also require yearly inspections to identify any problem areas that need attention before they lead to costly leaks or permanent damage. The process of restoring a metal roof should always start with a complete and thorough examination of the entire roof surface. Insulation and the underside of the roof should be checked for possible wet insulation or condensation problems.
Condensation is a major cause for callbacks due to lack of proper ventilation.
Fasteners must be inspected to determine if they are loose or stripped. They should be tightened to torque or replaced with a larger fastener. Extra fasteners should be added to areas where gaps are present, especially at end laps. After the roof is repaired mechanically, the restoration begins. All rust must be treated according to the coatings manufacturer and power washed to obtain a clean, dry surface.
