Airplane Hangar Roof Repair
Repairing Your Airplane Hangar
Your airplane hangar roofing system is a significant investment designed to be a sturdy structure to protect your most valuable assets, including aircraft, parts, supplies and maintenance equipment. As an airplane hangar roof ages, it becomes weathered after years of exposure to Florida’s challenging subtropical climate. The frequent heavy rains, gusty winds, and lengthy hot and humid weather will eventually take their toll on even the sturdiest metal, modified bitumen, or other roofing systems. It’s only a matter of time before it will need a complete roof replacement when the roof begins to leak beyond repair. Airplane hangar roof repair is time-consuming and costly because it usually requires the complete removal of existing roof materials.
Troyer Commercial Roofing is a certified Conklin Commercial Roofing Systems contractor specializing in repairing, restoring, and protecting aging roofs. We often see leaks, weathered steel, standing seam, mod-bit, and other aviation building roofs in Southwest Florida. Our system will help you avoid the need for frequent repairs or expensive roof replacements.
Types of Aircraft Hangar Roofing
Today, many aircraft hangars are constructed with metal roofing systems that are either custom-built on-site or prefabricated in a factory. Metal is often the preferred roofing material for aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities, due to its extreme durability, fire resistance, and longevity. However, many aging aircraft hangars were built decades ago and need repair due to their age. In addition, aircraft hangars can vary significantly in size, ranging from under 5,000 square feet to more than 80,000 square feet. Roof repairs and replacements can be very costly.
Common Problems with Aviation Hangar Roofing in Florida
Most of the commercial and private airports in Southwest Florida are located near coastal waters. Our frequent rainy weather and salty air accelerate metal corrosion, including stainless steel standing seam, modified bitumen, and other aircraft hangar roofing systems. Studies have shown that salty air can travel 30 to 50 miles inland. It is one of the most common causes of airplane hangar roof leaks in Florida. As the roofing material deteriorates, you will notice more frequent roof leaks. The water damage can also extend to the roof deck, resulting in more severe structural issues. This may require a complete roof replacement, not to mention damage to the assets in the building. Contact us to schedule a roof inspection for your aircraft hangar or aviation facility if it displays any of the following:
- Roof leaks
- Corrosion or rust
- Damaged fasteners
- Loose seams
- Discoloration

We have had great success in helping our many satisfied customers avoid costly repairs and replacements with the Conklin Roofing System. Conklin’s highly durable, white reflective, and waterproof elastomeric coatings, including the Conklin MR System® for Metal Roofs, Benchmark®, PUMA® XL, Rapid Roof® III, and Rapid Roof® HV, immediately stops leaks. It also repairs roof deficiencies, and inhibits rust with an extremely durable, leak-free, and energy-efficient barrier. Plus, it protects the entire roofing system, strengthening seams and fasteners, eliminating the need for frequent roof repairs or roof replacement. If you’re looking for airplane hangar roof repair, the Conklin system is a great solution.
Saves Energy Costs
Conklin’s elastomeric cool roof coatings are known for their high solar reflectivity and superior energy efficiency. They are rated by EnergyStar and the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), reflecting up to 85% of the sun’s UV radiation instead of absorbing it as heat. This results in a roof surface that is up to 60°F cooler than aluminized coating. A cooler roof means less heat transfer into your facility, reducing cooling costs up to 30% in air-conditioned buildings. The insulation layer also keeps interior spaces warmer in the winter, saving energy costs throughout the year.

Benefits of a Farmhouse Metal Roof
Durability and Longevity:
Firstly, metal roofing stands out for its remarkable durability. It can withstand severe weather conditions, including heavy snow, high winds, and hail. Unlike traditional roofing materials that may deteriorate over time, metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years or more with the right maintenance. Hence, this makes them a long-term investment for any farmhouse. However, to obtain these results, a farmhouse metal roof must be properly maintained.
Low Maintenance:
Similarly, one of the greatest advantages of metal roofing is its low maintenance requirement. Metal roofs are less susceptible to common issues like rot, mold, and insect damage. This means fewer repairs and less time spent maintaining the roof. However, regular maintenance is still necessary to maintain the lifespan of the roof. If done correctly, maintenance will be much easier and it will avoid expensive roof replacements. This is ideal for farmhouse owners managing extensive properties.
Energy Efficiency:
Alternatively, a farmhouse metal roof contributes to energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat away from the building. This reflective quality helps reduce the cooling load on air conditioning systems, lowering energy bills during the hot months. Moreover, this in combination with Conklin’s Metal Roof Coatings, can translate into significant savings.
Aesthetic Appeal:
Metal roofing comes in a variety of styles and finishes, allowing it to complement both traditional and modern farmhouse designs.
Fire Resistance:
Metal roofing is highly fire-resistant compared to other materials, providing an additional layer of safety. This characteristic is particularly valuable for farmhouses located in areas prone to wildfires or other fire hazards.
Prolongs Your Existing Roofing System’s Useful Life
Conklin’s line of white reflective elastomeric coatings is a more efficient and cost-effective method for repairing, restoring, and protecting metal, modified bitumen, EPDM rubber, and other aviation building roofing systems. The highly reflective rust-resistant waterproof barrier reflects up to 85% of UV radiation rather than absorbing it as heat. This not only slows down the roof’s aging process, but the coating’s layer of insulation protects aircraft hangars from the damaging effects of thermal shock that occurs when roofing materials expand and contract during extreme temperature swings. It also significantly increases the building’s energy efficiency reducing utility costs. Also, our elastomeric coatings can be reapplied multiple times, prolonging your existing hangar roof’s useful life for years or even decades to come.
