Shared Process
The Same Five Steps For Every System
The top coat changes between systems. The order of work stays the same.
Inspect Your Roof
A full roof walk tests screws, probes rust, checks curbs and skylights, and takes moisture readings.
Pick The System
Pitch, drainage, insulation, and foot traffic point to metal coating, silicone, acrylic, foam, or a shingle gate.
Repair And Clean
Holed panels get patched, screws replaced, and the surface washed with a cleaner matched to it.
Prime And Detail
Bare steel gets primer, and laps, curbs, and flashings get fabric in base coat.
Coat And Check
Top coats go on to the specified mils, checked with a gauge as the crew works.
Service Questions
Questions About Our Coating Services
How owners narrow down the right system.
Candidate Buildings
Which metal buildings around Bowling Green are good candidates?
Exposed-fastener buildings with surface rust and leaking laps over firm steel: warehouses and light plants with R-panel, farm shops and barns, church halls and gyms, self-storage rows, and auto shops.
Rusted-through panels, sagging purlins, or wet insulation get handled first.
Coating Types
Silicone, acrylic, or urethane: which is best over metal?
The one that matches pitch, drainage, and foot traffic. Silicone suits slow drainage, acrylic suits fast-draining sloped panels, and urethane makes a tough base at seams and walk paths.
The coating maker's product data and primer list settle which pairings work.
Steps
What are the steps to coat a commercial metal roof?
Inspect the roof, clean it, repair holes and fasteners, prime rust and galvanized areas, seal fasteners and laps, then apply base and top coats.
Wet-film gauges confirm thickness, and weather and repair work set the pace more than size.
Mixing Systems
Can one roof use two systems?
Yes. A common setup puts silicone along slow gutters and acrylic across the faster-draining field.
The two have to be compatible, which the coating maker confirms.
Lifespan
How long before a coated roof needs work again?
That depends on the product, the thickness applied, and how the roof is used. The product sheet lists what the maker expects.
Yearly roof walks and clean gutters keep it on track, and a worn top coat gets recoated.
