Pick The System That Matches Your Roof

Our metal roof coating services in Columbus cover five systems. Each card names the roofs it fits and links to the full details.

System Fit

Which Metal Roof Coating Services In Columbus Fit Your Roof

Start from what you see on the roof. Each card points to the system that usually fits that condition.

If Your Roof

Has Exposed Screws And Rusty Laps On Steel Panels

Fastener rows and laps leak first on through-fastened steel, so rust treatment and sealed laps come before the coat.

If Your Roof

Holds Water On A Low-Slope Section

Water that sits for a day or two after rain calls for a coating rated for ponding.

Start WithSilicone Roof Coating
If Your Roof

Needs Insulation As Well As A Watertight Surface

Foam adds insulation value with each inch and covers seams and screws in one continuous layer.

Start WithSpray Foam Roofing
If Your Roof

Has Shingles Curling Or Missing Across Most Slopes

Shingles that have lost their grip will not hold a coating, so the roof needs replacement instead.

Our Process

Shared Steps Behind Every Coating System

The system changes from roof to roof, but the order of work stays the same on every job.

  1. Roof walk

    Inspect Your Roof

    A roof walk shows the slope, panel type, fastener pattern, and drainage. Those four things decide which coating system fits before any prep starts.

  2. Repairs

    Fix The Weak Spots

    Loose screws, split pipe boots, cracked skylight panels, and wet insulation get repaired or replaced, so the coating goes over a dry, solid roof.

  3. Wash

    Clean The Surface

    Washing strips the chalk, dirt, and residue that would keep a coating from bonding, and rusted steel gets a coat of primer.

  4. Seal

    Detail The Joints

    Seams, curbs, and fastener heads take a heavier detail coat, with fabric embedded where joints flex as the roof heats and cools.

  5. Finish

    Coat The Roof

    Field coats go down at the thickness the system calls for, checked with a wet-film gauge as each pass goes on.

Can one building have two different coating systems?

Yes. A building with a sloped metal roof and a flat addition can take acrylic on the slopes and silicone on the flat section. We keep a clear break between the two so each system can be recoated later with matching material.

Which coating system costs the least?

Acrylic usually prices lowest per gallon, and silicone costs more. Spray foam adds the cost of insulation. For planning, coating work runs about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot; rust, failed screws, extra coats, and lift access move a roof within that range.

Can a coated roof be recoated later?

Yes, and that is the main reason owners coat. Silicone takes only silicone, while acrylic accepts more acrylic and, after the right primer, other systems. We record the system, brand, and thickness used so the next recoat matches what is already on the roof.

Do you coat roofs on buildings that stay open?

Yes. Coating work happens on top of the roof and the panels stay in place, so offices, shops, and plants keep running. We stage materials away from doors and docks and cover the air intakes near the work while spraying.

What should I have ready before a roof walk?

Gather any past repair records, the roof's age if you know it, and a list of where leaks show up inside. Photos of stains or wet product help. Clear access to a roof hatch or a spot for a ladder makes the walk faster.
