About Our Portage Metal Roof Coating Work
How We Decide What Gets Coated and What Gets Fixed First
This is about our Portage metal roof coating work: what we check, what we repair first, and when we tell an owner coating is the wrong call.
More About Our Portage Metal Roof Coating Work
Everything about our Portage metal roof coating work comes back to one rule: the prep under the coating decides how long it lasts.
We coat commercial roofs only: warehouses, plants, shops, retail buildings, offices, and churches. Most are steel, some are flat membrane or asphalt shingle.
Rust gets ground to firm metal and primed. Loose screws get replaced. Laps and curbs get sealed. Only then does the coating go on.
- Written findings after every roof walk
- Coating thickness checked as it goes on
- Photos of repairs before they get coated
Want Us to Walk Your Roof?
An inspection shows whether coating fits your roof and what repairs come first. The estimate puts coating and replacement side by side.
- The building address
- A contact who can give roof access
- Any records of past repairs
What Our Roof Walk Covers
These are the items we look at on every roof before a coating is priced.
Fasteners
Backed-out screws, stripped holes, and cracked washers, counted by section.
Laps And Seams
Open side laps, end laps, and dried sealant tape along the panel runs.
Rust Depth
Surface rust that brushes off, compared with rust that has thinned the steel.
Insulation
Probe readings for wet insulation under the panels or membrane.
Curbs And Flashing
Skylight frames, unit curbs, pipe boots, and wall flashing.
Drainage
Gutters, scuppers, and low spots where water sits after rain.
Roofs We Send Elsewhere First
Coating is the right fix for many roofs. For these, we say so and point the owner toward the work that should come first.
