Metal Roof Repair Services

A metal roof is reliable and durable but may also need repair. Modern roofs made of corrugated sheets and metal tiles can quickly become unusable due to installation errors, and old galvanized sheet metal coatings begin to rust over time. Both can receive mechanical damage when trees and large branches fall on them due to natural disasters. To find metal roof repair services in New Jersey contact Kozel LLC company.

When You Need Metal Roof Repair

A metal roof is famous for its durability, but even in its case, repair work is unavoidable. Negative factors such as precipitation, sudden temperature fluctuations, or carelessness when removing snow with shovels do not have the best effect on the integrity of a metal roof. Thus, the repair of metal or other roofs is inevitable. 

Hail Damage

 Hail damage to your metal roof is almost certain. This could be hairline cracks that require repair or extensive damage that requires roof replacement. 

Wind Damage

Indications of roof damage from wind include open or missing shingles, duct issues, twisting or peeling shingles, granule loss, soffit or fascia damage, and interior leaks. High winds can also force tree limbs to fall and harm the roof. 

Hurricane Damage

 Metal roofing often withstands high winds, hail, ice, and snow better than alternative roofing materials. That doesn’t mean they’re completely immune to damage. In many cases, especially during hurricanes, metal roofs can be scratched or punctured. 

Tornado Damage

 Tornadoes can cause many different types of damage. Contact us for emergency roofing repair and building restoration services. 

Leaking

 A private house always requires full care from the owner. Here, careful care is needed for the walls, facade, windows, doors, and especially the roof. If the roof is covered with metal tiles, then special attention should be paid to the quality of waterproofing. If it turns out to be insufficient or there is no moisture protection at all, leaks cannot be avoided. 

If a metal roof is leaking, the homeowner urgently needs to carry out repairs, which may include the following: 

If mechanical damage is found on the roof, it must be soldered, and the soldering points must be treated with an anti-corrosion compound. 

If an entire sheet of material is damaged, it is advisable to replace it. 

All joints and gaps must be sealed with silicone to avoid repeated leaks. 

When using cheap self-tapping screws with rubber inserts, leaks are not excluded. They must be replaced with better quality ones. 

Laying a waterproofing material with high vapor permeability will help eliminate condensation and increase the service life of metal tiles. 

Other Signs for Roof Repair

Repairs are required in the following circumstances: 

  • There is serious damage to the thermal insulation, holes in the coating, and deformations in the rafter system. The cost of repairs depends on the extent of the damage and the materials used. 
  • Fungus has appeared under the roof covering. This is a fairly serious problem. Replacing the impaired zone and insulating it will help solve it. 
  • Cracks and chips have appeared on the roof, which are causing leaks (water drips from the ceiling during light rain). In this case, replacing the old material with a new one is necessary. If the crack is insignificant, it will be enough to correct the trouble area. 

Commercial Metal Roofing Systems

Comprehending the features of a particular roofing material is not easy. The choice of roofing material for commercial metal roof repair should be based on a number of factors, and not just aesthetics and design considerations. The best roofing material has the following qualities:

  • It withstands wind loads and snow in winter and is resistant to other weather factors. At the same time, the weight of the roofing should not excessively load the roof covering, heating, and plumbing systems.
  • It has a combination of operational advantages: fire safety, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and durability.
  • It corresponds to the configuration and modification of the roof. Standard solutions may not be suitable for roofs of non-standard shapes, roofs with extensions, and roofs with attics.
  • It corresponds to the purpose of the building. High-quality and durable materials are usually a priority for a private residential house since it is not economically feasible to use them for building a garage or outbuilding.
  • It is suitable in terms of cost. It is worth considering not only the material’s price but also its installation’s complexity and cost. 

Metal Roof Restoration

If leaks are not yet a bane of your life, but the roof covering has worn out considerably (there are large areas of rust on the surface, and the old protective coating has completely peeled off), special paints and varnishes and steel treatment compounds will help you restore metal elements. Among the abundant materials designed to protect old roofs from corrosion, choosing the most suitable one is difficult. Some people prefer liquid rubber or special paint, while others use liquid zinc or less popular compounds for restoration. What exactly should be used in a particular case? The answer to this question depends on the specific conditions and the owner’s preferences. Our company’s specialists will consult you on these issues and help you select the best option.
