Lafayette Commercial Metal Roof Coating Contractor

Rust treatment starts with a pressure wash to remove dirt, chalky paint, and loose scale. Heavier rust is wire brushed or ground, and every bare spot gets a rust-inhibiting primer before the shift ends. Near intakes and sensitive equipment we schedule the work with your facility team, and any panel rusted through is replaced first.

We inspect and probe suspect areas, wash the roof, replace damaged panels and failed screws, prime rust, and seal laps, seams, and curbs with reinforced detail coats. The field coat then goes on to the specified thickness, checked as we work. The goal is a leaking but solid roof brought back to watertight service.

It depends on how the roof drains. Silicone handles areas where water ponds or snowmelt sits, and acrylic suits pitched panels that shed water fast and need easy recoats. We pick after checking slope, ponding, rust, foot traffic, and an adhesion test on your panels.

Thickness and prep matter more than brand. Silicone applied at higher thickness often reaches the top of its service range and can be recoated with silicone later. A thick acrylic system on a well-drained roof also lasts well when rust is primed, screws are sealed, and drains stay clear.

When old plastic skylights are cracked or brittle, yes. They are swapped or sealed at their laps before the field coat, so the coating laps onto a solid edge instead of a cracked one.

Indiana commercial buildings fall under the Indiana Building Code, 675 IAC 13. The state rules page lists the 2014 edition, based on the 2012 International Building Code, as in effect. Local officials enforce it and can confirm what applies to your building.

Yes. The work happens on the roof with no tear-off, so offices and labs below keep running. Intakes and rooftop units are covered or scheduled around, the roof is done in sections, and low-odor water-based products are used near sensitive spaces after we review the ventilation layout.
