Don’t replace your metal roof, restore it. Stop the leaks, seal the rust, and cut your cooling costs, all for a fraction of the cost of new panels.
In Detail
Metal roof restoration is a complete waterproofing system for existing metal roofs. It inhibits rust, stops leaks, and finishes the roof with an energy-efficient, long-lasting protective coat, without replacing a single panel.
Here’s how the system works: every seam is strengthened with fabric reinforcement embedded in acrylic elastomeric coating. Every exposed fastener head, the most common leak point on any metal roof, is individually sealed with premium caulking. Then the entire surface is protected with an industry-leading reflective roof coating.
The result: a seamless, watertight, bright white metal roof that performs like new at a fraction of the cost of metal replacement.
In Detail
Metal roofs are tough, but they have a built-in weakness: movement. Every day, the sun heats the panels, and they expand; every night, they cool and contract. Over thousands of these cycles, fasteners back out, seams open, and washers crack, creating hundreds of small entry points for water.
Add rust to the equation, and many owners assume the roof is finished. It usually isn’t. The panels themselves typically have decades of structural life left. What’s failed is the sealing, the seams, fasteners, and finish. Restoration replaces exactly those things, which is why it costs so much less than replacing the metal itself.
**A tax advantage worth knowing:** metal roof restoration can typically be expensed as a repair or maintenance cost in the current year, while roof replacement must be capitalized and depreciated. On a large building, that difference alone can change the math entirely. Confirm the details with your tax advisor.
The Case
Seams, fasteners, and penetrations, the source of nearly every metal roof leak, are individually sealed and reinforced before the finish coat goes on.
Rusted areas are cleaned, treated, and primed with a rust-inhibiting metal primer, then sealed away from oxygen and moisture for good.
The reflective coating keeps panels dramatically cooler, minimizing the daily expansion and contraction that loosens fasteners and opens seams, which greatly extends the roof’s usable life.
By reflecting up to 85% of the sun’s energy, the finished roof can drastically reduce air conditioning expense, and the workspace below stays noticeably cooler.
No panel removal, no structural work, no disposal. Restoration delivers long-term performance at far below the cost of new metal, with a renewable warranty of up to 18 years.
The Process
The roof is cleaned with a specialized rust-removing wash so coatings bond directly to sound metal.
A rust-inhibiting metal primer is applied to prepare the surface and lock down oxidation.
Each exposed fastener head is individually sealed with premium acrylic caulk.
Horizontal and vertical seams are strengthened with fabric or butyl tape embedded in the base coat.
The full surface is sealed with a high-performance acrylic elastomeric coating in bright, reflective white.

Usually not. Surface rust is treated and primed as part of the system. Only when rust has eaten through panels or compromised the structure is replacement necessary, and our free evaluation will tell you which situation you have, with photos to prove it.
Typically a fraction of replacement cost, often less than half, because there’s no panel removal, disposal, or new metal. Your free evaluation includes firm pricing for your specific roof.
The system carries a renewable material warranty of up to 18 years. A recoat at the end of the term renews the protection, so many owners never replace the roof at all.
Yes. All work happens on the roof surface with no tear-off, no noise from demolition, and no interruption below.
