Maintaining Your Metal Roof and Hiring the Right Contractor

Metal roofs are pretty easy to clean and maintain. But, it can be dented, scratched or dulled fairly easily. You’ll need to routinely re-coat it every few years, if its painted, and it will also chip. The main culprits for leaking would be the screws, seams and joints, even though they are usually watertight. If the roof wasn’t installed correctly, many times the cause of leaking will be water condensing under the surface due to poor ventilation. You’ll need a trusted, professional commercial roofing contractor with experience with metal roofs to handle any significant repairs. There are unique construction features and details with metal roofing. an example being their expanding and contracting over time, so you’ll need a company that has experience and understands what to look for.

Even though metal roofing has a long lifespan and doesn’t have extensive repair requirements, you’ll still need to put a regular maintenance schedule in place.

Here’s how to keep your commercial metal roof in great shape:

• Find and Employ a Commercial Metal Roof Contractor with Experience. Maintaining a roof, if not done with the proper equipment, can be dangerous. You need someone that has the proper tools, equipment and experience to perform the necessary functions with safety and accident-free.
• Inspect Your Roof on a Regular Schedule. You’ll need the professional roofing company you employ to check for decay and leaking as the elements weaken your roof’s protective materials. If you allow leaks and decay to happen without repair, they will give you a much more expensive problem – the need to replace instead of repairing. Your contractor will work with you to come up with the best solutions to fit your schedule and budget.
• Keep Tree Branches Trimmed and Away From the Roof. The damage that falling tree branches can wreak on your metal roof can be extensive. Another issue from trees is the water that leaves will drop, along with organic material, onto your metal roof. The combination of moisture and organic materials will cause corrosion and leaks. Therefore, you should clear them from over your property by bringing in a trusted tree trimming company.
• Clear Your Drainage system and Keep it That Way. Along the edge of your metal roof, it can be damaged by obstructed or clogged drains. Get rid of any build up of organic materials and anything else blocking your drainage system routinely. This sin’t something you should take on yourself – again, hire a professional roofing contractor to take care of this.

You’ll need to check various products  for comparison purposes with whether they are approved by local assurance programs and if they are Energy Star compliant.
