More About Our Scranton Metal Roof Coating Work

Everything about our Scranton metal roof coating work starts with a walk across the panels with a moisture meter, a screwdriver, and a notebook. The roof tells us what it needs, and the written scope lists every repair before any coating is priced.

  • Inspection before every proposal
  • Repairs listed separately from coating
  • Weather and cure windows planned in advance
  • Work staged around building operations

Want A Second Look At Your Roof?

Call us if you have a coating proposal and want the laps, screws, and moisture checked by someone else first.

What Our Inspection Covers

These items are checked on every roof before a coating system is chosen.

  • Panel condition, rust depth, and soft spots underfoot
  • Screws, washers, and attachment to the framing
  • Side laps, end laps, and old seam repairs
  • Curbs, vents, fans, and pipe boots
  • Moisture readings and insulation condition
  • Gutters, outlets, and spots where water sits
  • Adhesion of the existing paint or coating
