Benefits of Metal Roof Coating
Even though metal roofs are built to last a long time, rust, leaks, and surface degradation can still occur, especially if they are subjected to extreme weather. A metal roof coating forms a protective barrier, preventing any further harm from occurring, making the roof more stable.
The use of reflective metal roof coatings can also reduce heat absorption, which in turn can reduce the cooling costs during summer. This makes a coated roof more energy efficient than a regular metal roof.
The use of certain types of coatings offers higher water resistance, which is beneficial for waterproofing and preventing leaks.
Moreover, coating your roof is a cost-effective alternative to replacing it entirely. To add a coating would only cost a fraction of what it would cost to replace it completely. By doing so, you would also be reducing the frequency with which replacements are required which is also an environmentally friendly solution that reduces waste.
The Metal Coating Process
We make sure that we follow a certain procedure to provide long-lasting and effective results.
First, we do an inspection. During this step, we check the roof’s current state, remove any debris, and clean the surface to make sure the coating sticks well.
Then, a treatment is done to fix rust or leaks that already exist in order to stop them from getting worse in the future. At times, a primer is used before applying a coating to help it stick better and last longer.
The metal roof coating of your choice is then put on evenly and easily to create a barrier that looks levelled and is also safe. During the final inspection, we ensure that the coating has been put on properly and that your roof is fully protected.

Metal Roof Coating FAQ
What are the benefits of applying a coating to my metal roof?
Metal roof coatings offer numerous benefits including leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, extended roof lifespan (often by 10+ years), reduced energy costs through reflective properties, decreased roof temperature, less expansion and contraction stress, and a fraction of the cost of full roof replacement.
How long does the metal roof coating last?
Quality metal roof coatings typically last 10-20 years depending on the specific product, application quality, roof condition, and local climate conditions. Premium silicone and acrylic coatings often come with 10-15 year manufacturer warranties, while some high-performance systems offer 20+ year protection.
Can metal roof coating stop leaks?
Yes, metal roof coatings are specifically designed to seal and prevent leaks by creating a seamless, waterproof membrane across the entire roof surface. Coatings seal around fasteners, seams, and penetrations where leaks commonly occur. For existing leaks, the roof must be properly prepared and repaired before coating application.
Can I apply metal roof coating myself?
Although experienced property owners may attempt DIY application, it is advisable to seek professional services for several reasons: Proper roof preparation, including cleaning, repairs, and primer application, necessitates specialized equipment; achieving an even application requires specific training and experience; there are safety concerns associated with working at heights; and manufacturer warranties generally stipulate that installation must be performed by professionals.
