Franklin Metal Roof Coating
Franklin metal roof coating for shops, plants, and storefronts. We map every mast, fan, and conduit run through the panels, then seal and coat around them.

Penetrations Come First On Franklin Roofs
Franklin shops and plants carry a lot of hardware through their roofs: service masts and weatherheads, exhaust fans, unit heater flues, and conduit strapped to the panels with screws.
Each one is a hole in the steel with its own boot or flashing. We seal those before the field coat, and we keep a coating-only job separate from any electrical or HVAC change, so the scope stays small.
- Weatherheads and service masts get new boots and sealant
- Exhaust fan curbs get fabric and base coat
- Junction boxes stay clear of coating so they still open

Leaks Around Roof Hardware
These are the spots that leak first on Franklin roofs with a lot of equipment. The chips show urgency.

Cracked Mast Boots
Rubber boots around service masts split in the sun and let water run down the pipe.

Rusty Exhaust Fan Curbs
Grease and moisture rust the curb flashing at kitchen and process fans.

Conduit Strap Screws
Every strap screwed through a panel adds two holes with aging washers.

Abandoned Equipment Openings
Old units removed years ago sometimes leave capped holes covered only with mastic.

Drips Under A Fan

Pipe Supports Sitting On Panels
Wood blocks under gas lines trap water and rust a patch beneath them.
For Franklin Buildings
Benefits of Coating Your Roof
Each assumes the penetrations are rebuilt first. That work is priced as its own line.
Fewer Leak Points
Every mast, flue, and fan gets its own fresh flashing under one continuous coat.
Keep The Existing Steel
Coating costs less than re-sheeting around all that rooftop hardware.
Electrical Work Stays Separate
A coating-only scope leaves masts and wiring in place, so state inspectors stay out of it.
Recoat Down The Road
A worn top coat gets recoated later without rebuilding the penetrations again.

Franklin Job Sequence
How A Franklin Coating Job Runs
Equipment gets mapped before cleaning, so nothing gets coated shut.
Inspect Your Roof
We list every mast, fan, flue, and conduit run, test the panels around each, and photograph the boots and curbs.
Plan Shutdowns
Fans and unit heaters near the spray area get scheduled off with your building contact and power provider.
Rebuild Flashings
Cracked boots get replaced, fan curbs get fabric, and abandoned openings get patched with matching steel.
Seal The Field
Screws, laps, and strap holes across the panels get sealant and fabric in the base coat.
Top Coat Around Hardware
Coats go on by brush near equipment and by roller or spray across the open field.

Franklin Metal Roof Questions
Answers for Franklin owners planning roof work.
Building Contacts
Who answers building questions for a Franklin metal roof?
The City of Franklin zoning office is the city contact on Kentucky's Simpson County inspection sheet, which also lists state building, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing inspectors.
Raising curbs, moving conduit, or swapping fans brings electrical or HVAC review alongside the roof. Coating over existing steel, with panels and trim left in place, is a smaller scope. Describe both pieces on the first call and have photos of curbs and skylight panels ready.
Power Provider
Which utility serves a Franklin building, and why does it matter?
Franklin Electric Plant Board serves more than 4,800 customers inside city limits, and Warren RECC serves parts of the county. Your bill shows which.
That provider matters when fans and units near the spray zone shut down, and weatherheads through the panels need fresh flashing.
Old Openings
What happens to holes left by removed equipment?
Each one gets cut clean and covered with a steel patch fastened to the panel, then sealed and reinforced like a lap.
Mastic-only covers come off first, because they crack and let water under the coating.
Conduit
Do conduit straps get removed before coating?
Straps that hold live conduit stay, with fresh sealant under each screw. Straps left from abandoned runs come off and their holes get sealed.
Junction boxes and fittings stay uncoated so electricians can still open them.
Scheduling
How long is equipment shut down for coating?
Usually a day or two per area, while the crew sprays or rolls near it. The plan names each unit and its shutdown window.
Units far from the day's work keep running, so the building stays usable throughout.
Roof Vents
What happens to gravity vents and turbines on a Franklin roof?
Each vent gets its base flashing checked, its screws reset, and fabric set into the base coat where it meets the panels. Rusted vent bases get replaced with new ones that match the panel profile.
Turbines that no longer spin get flagged for you to decide on. Removing one means a steel patch over the opening, sealed like any other lap.
Kitchen Exhaust
Do restaurant exhaust fans need different treatment?
Yes. Grease from kitchen fans softens many coatings, so the area around those curbs gets cleaned with a degreaser and coated with a product rated for that exposure.
A grease guard or catch box at the fan keeps it from running down the panels. That piece belongs to the fan owner, and we note it in the findings.
