Metal Roof Repair & Restoration
Metal has been the go-to roofing material for agricultural, industrial, and commercial buildings for close to half a century, and for good reason: it is durable, lightweight, and naturally resistant to moisture, pests, and fire. Lester still sees it on plenty of buildings across Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and Venice, but Florida’s climate is hard on metal roofs no matter how well they were installed. Salt air, heat cycling, and heavy rain wear on the coating and fasteners over time, and eventually every metal roof needs attention. When that happens, commercial metal roof repair in Sarasota, FL usually comes down to one question: repair and restore, or replace.
Metal Roof Repairs for Aging Commercial Buildings
Metal roofing degrades over time, especially in Florida’s subtropical climate. Warping, corrosion, and rust eventually lead to leaks. Full replacement is also slow: metal roofing materials can take weeks or months to arrive depending on supply and labor availability, and every week you wait is another week your facility, employees, and equipment are exposed to further water damage.
Troyer Commercial Roofing has nearly two decades of experience installing the Conklin MR System for metal roof restoration. Lester’s default recommendation for a metal roof that is rusting or leaking but structurally intact is restoration over replacement, since the coating is applied directly to the existing system and avoids the wait, the cost, and the disruption of a tear-off.
* Note, our warranties apply exclusively to coatings for commercial roofs. This includes flat and low-slope roofs but excludes shingle roofs. The duration and coverage of the warranty depend on the type of coating selected, with more affordable options offering shorter warranty periods. Please contact us for more details on warranty terms and applicable roofing types.
Metal Roof Leaks Can Be Costly
A metal roof leak rarely stays contained to the roof itself. Once moisture works its way through the system, it can damage the structural deck, fixtures, equipment, and inventory below, and it creates the conditions for mold and mildew to take hold. Lester has seen leaks that started as a small rust spot at a fastener turn into a real health and liability concern for a building once they went unaddressed for a season.
Metal Roof Coatings To Protect Your Investment
For more than 40 years, commercial building owners have trusted Conklin Roofing Systems to protect an existing roof investment for a fraction of full replacement cost. The Conklin MR System coating is applied directly to your existing metal roof, sealing holes, gaps, and weak points as it forms a durable, weatherproof barrier against heat, moisture, wind, hail, and fire.
Its Energy Star cool roof technology keeps rooftop surfaces up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit cooler, improving energy efficiency while extending the roof’s useful life. Periodic recoating can extend a metal roof’s protection for up to an additional 20 years, and it can be recoated repeatedly for the life of the roof without meaningfully adding to the building’s load.
Roof Restoration with Conklin’s Coatings
The Conklin restoration coatings Troyer applies, PUMA XL Reinforced, Rapid Roof III Top Coat, and Rapid Roof HV Top Coat, are among the highest solar reflective materials available, and Lester picks between them based on the specific condition and profile of the metal roof in front of him rather than defaulting to one product. Because the coating goes directly onto your existing metal roof, there is no tear-off, no disposal cost, and no waiting on replacement materials. The insulating properties also help keep a building cooler in summer and warmer in winter for year-round energy savings.
