Rensselaer Metal Roof Coating Contractor

Often. Equipment buildings, storage buildings, and farm shops are good candidates when the steel is still firm. Coating seals leaking screws and laps and slows rust without removing panels over stored equipment or grain.

Yes. Shops, offices, and light industrial buildings in town get the same roof walk and repair-first approach as farm buildings. Buildings in town usually sit closer to parked cars and neighbors, so overspray screens and rolled coating near the edges matter even more there.

Plan on about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot for coating, against about $5 to $8 for replacement. Roof size, the number of lifted or rusted panels, eave repairs, and the overspray protection a site needs move the number. Long, simple farm roofs tend to price toward the low end.

Rensselaer is part of our area, and we schedule farm work around the season. Call with the farm address and the best months for you, and we will walk the roof, sort leaks from condensation, and set coating dates that stay clear of planting and harvest.

Wind carries overspray and dries coatings too fast at the edges. We check the forecast each morning, spray only in calm conditions, set screens on the downwind side, and roll instead of spray near equipment when the air will not settle.

Moist, corrosive air inside those buildings rusts panels from the underside, which a top coating cannot reach. We check the underside from inside the building, and when the panels are thinning from below, we talk about replacing those bays instead of coating over them.

Lifted panels are refastened or replaced first, with new screws into solid purlins. Once the panels sit flat and tight, the roof can be primed and coated like any other.

Those drips are often condensation, and a roof coating leaves that problem in place. Warm, moist air inside meets cold panels and drips back down. We check vents, eave openings, and any insulation, then tell you plainly what will help, whether that is ventilation, foam, or both.
