Metal Roof Repair Guide

Metal roofs are widely known for their durability. When installed correctly, these roofs could withstand hurricane-like winds up to 140 miles per hour. These roofs will not crack or corrode; they are impact resistant. This being said, metal roofs are not easily prone to damage; therefore, the repair is rarely needed. Although if there is any noticeable damage, we urge you to give us a call immediately, so no long-term damages happen to your home roof and also for the safety of you and your family. Here are signs you need a metal roof repair and how we repair it.

Signs of Metal Roof Damage

Repairing a Hole

We first repair the area we are sealing. We then scuff the metal with a wire brush on and around the repair area. Then we will need to measure the hole to cut out an even piece of metal to put in its place. Once that’s measured, we cut the piece of metal, allowing it to overlap by about 2 inches. We will round the corners making the metal with no sharp ends to avoid injuries to yourself and us. We will put a color-matched selection in the repair area. Then we will apply the patch and seal it to avoid it coming off again. Once that is done, we will paint it to match the roof again. So you won’t have a wonky-looking patch on your beautiful home.
