When a metal roof is damaged to the point where rust has pin-holed through the panels, there's no question that it's time to tear off and replace. Often on problem metal roofs, the great majority of roof panels retain their integrity.
Leaks develop at the seams, fasteners and around protrusions.
Consequently, the correct amount of replacement together with the initiation of a complete maintenance system can completely return the roof to original performance standards. This combined practice substantially reduces the building owner's costs over the alternatives of full roof replacement. The cost recovery period is immediate. In addition, the benefits of a comprehensive maintenance approach go beyond initial economics and stopping rust or leaks. Developing market awareness of available options is the key to assisting building owners in making the right decision.
