About Our Lafayette Metal Roof Coating Work
Repairs Come First And The Coating Comes Second
About our Lafayette metal roof coating work: we coat commercial roofs only, and every job starts with a roof walk and repairs before any coating goes on.
How We Work
What To Know About Our Lafayette Metal Roof Coating Work
The first thing to know about our Lafayette metal roof coating work: the roof gets fixed before it gets coated. A coat over an open lap or a loose screw only hides the leak for a season.
We write down what we find, show you the photos, and explain which repairs come first. You decide with the facts in front of you.
- A written list of every repair before the price
- Thickness readings taken across the roof
- Work planned with the people inside the building
Next Step
Leak Coming Back After Every Thaw?
Start with a ballpark range for coating and replacement, then let us walk the roof and find where the water gets in.
Inspection
What We Check Before Recommending A Coating
Every roof walk covers these points before we name a system.
Laps And End Laps
Each lap is checked for gaps, rust, and old sealant that has cracked or pulled away.
Screws And Washers
Screw heads are checked for backing out, and washers for drying, cracking, or missing rubber.
Curbs And Penetrations
Flashing around units, vents, and pipes is checked for open corners and failed sealant.
Gutters And Drains
Gutters, valleys, and drain bowls are checked for blockages and water marks that show ponding.
Moisture Under The Surface
Readings at suspect spots tell us whether insulation below is dry enough to keep.
Rust Depth
Rusted areas are probed to tell surface rust from steel that has thinned or holed.
Our Limits
Roofs We Turn Down For Coating
Some roofs need something other than a coating. These are the cases where we say so.
If Your Roof
Was patched with mastic over and over
Thick layers of old patch cover the laps and the screw rows.

If Your Roof
Has two layers of shingles already
A second layer of shingles sits on the first, adding weight to the deck.
