The steel building below was a very nice metal building retro insulation transformation project. It included cut and paste on damaged sections of the roof followed by a sealing and coating. The electric system was upgraded and a new lighting system was installed, the interior was painted, and retro metal building white faced 8” insulation was installed. To finish it off, after these renovations were complete, the floor was coated.

Pictures show the completion of the first phase; the shoring phase of the project. We installed a temporary structure to support the building while we start on the repairs. The structure is supported in place by a combination of welding and bolting I beam, steel plates and braces. We worked with an engineer to verify the strength and integrity of the structure.

Metal Roof Repairs

Sometimes, people just go overboard with mastic when trying to repair a metal roof leak. Below you can see a before and after of a metal building roof that we repaired. The problem was not with the panels, but the transition trim. However, while trying to fix the leaking metal roof they damaged the panels. We replaced the original problem, the trim, and the problem that was created, the panels, and the now, the leaking roof problem is solved.

Sealing Metal Roof Leaks

To the left a roof sealing in process.

A metal roof does not require a coating application to be leak free. Professional metal roofer.

During the sealing application process a fluid applied seamless membrane is installed at every potential water entry point. Fasteners, penetrations, transitions, ridge cap, and rake trim, are common roof areas requiring sealing.

A roof coating is beneficial, however, if the budget isn’t sufficient, a sealing application can be a very good option.

Spot Sealing

We can economically stop a single persistent metal roof leak, or all of your steel roof leaks. Our 20 years of experience has taught us the methods that work. With our test studies, we know which urethane sealants and roof coatings that work best with steel roof panels.

Replace the roof or waterproof and coat? Cut and Paste.

When restoring a metal roof, some elements can be restored, and others require replacement. In the above, part of the metal roof was rotted out, and replaced with new R panels. The remainder waterproofed and coated. The skylights were also replaced.

Metal roof coatings

The metal roof coating process includes arresting any rust, protecting the sealing products, and extending the life of your metal roof. Professional metal roofer.

In addition, the coating provides a bright, fresh, new finish which has a high level of reflectivity. We provide warranties up to 10 years. Tough enough for metal building leaks in Houston, TX

We also repair built-up roofs, rubber roofs, TPO heat weld roofs, any commercial or industrial roof.

These pictures show where a roof was overwhelmed by rain from a tropical storm.

The roof actually collapsed onto a pile of sheet rock. The tilt-wall bowed out and the beam broke free from the cement wall leaving a hole.

First, we shored up the Large I beam. Then we installed bolt through welded “stiff-backs” which straightened out the wall. We then lifted the beam back into place. Then 2 welded channels were installed by bolting them through the wall

It was an unusual event that caused the problem

Is your metal roof beyond repair, and it’s not practical to replace your roof?

The R-value increased from R10 to R28. This a retro insulation in a metal building

This is a very large building- those are workers on the roof.  We stopped the leaks at this pre-treat LNG plant in Freeport TX.

This wall had become compromised by heavy rain from a tropical storm, the roof collapsed.  The tilt-up wall bowed out, the beam fell from it’s position.  They asked us to help.  Engineering the solution, we shored up the beam, reinforced the tilt up wall, and resecured the beam to the wall.
