Scope

Everything we do to a metal roof, and nothing we do not

Metal roofs fail in a small number of well understood ways, and in the Sonoran Desert they fail in an even smaller number. Heat moves the panel, the movement works the fasteners loose and tears the sealant, ultraviolet destroys the washers and the coating, monsoon wind lifts anything that was already marginal, and water finds the one detail nobody has touched in twenty years.

Every job below is one of those. What none of them is, is a new roof. We repair metal roofs and that is the whole trade. We do not install, we do not tear off and replace, and we do not work on tile, shingle, foam or built up flat roofs.

That narrowness is the point. It means the truck is loaded for this every day, and it means that when we tell you a roof can be saved we are not talking ourselves out of a bigger job.

Twelve jobs

What we repair

  • Water tracking along the underside of a metal roof purlin, traced back toward the leak entry point

    Metal Roof Leak Repair

    Water shows up on a ceiling a long way from where it got in. We work backwards from the stain to the real entry point, repair that detail, and leave the twenty other places somebody would have sealed alone.

    What this involves

  • Metal roof panel lifted and torn at the fasteners by monsoon microburst wind in Tucson

    Monsoon and Storm Damage Repair

    Lifted panel edges, fastener holes torn into slots by wind loading, driven rain forced under laps, and hail bruising out toward the Rincons. Storms break some things and simply expose others.

    What this involves

  • Bucket catching water from a metal roof leak during a Tucson monsoon storm

    Emergency Roof Leak Repair

    Water coming into the house while the storm is still going. We stabilise the intrusion, then come back and do the repair properly once the roof is dry enough to stand on safely.

    What this involves

  • Backed out roofing screws with cracked rubber washers standing proud of a metal roof panel

    Screw and Fastener Replacement

    An exposed fastener roof holds itself down with hundreds of screws and seals itself with hundreds of rubber washers. Both have a service life in this climate, and it is shorter than the roof's.

    What this involves

  • Cracked sealant pulling away from a swamp cooler curb on a Tucson metal roof

    Flashing and Penetration Repair

    Pipe boots, swamp cooler curbs, vents, valleys, headwall and sidewall flashing. More metal roofs leak here than anywhere else, and almost none of them leak through the middle of a panel.

    What this involves

  • Rust blooming from a cut panel edge and lifting the paint film on a metal roof

    Rust and Corrosion Repair

    Cut edges, scratches, fastener holes and the low ribs where water stands after a storm. Caught early it is a cleaning and coating job. Left long enough it becomes a panel.

    What this involves

  • Reflective white restoration coating being rolled across a weathered Tucson metal roof

    Metal Roof Coating and Recoating

    For a roof that is sound but tired everywhere at once. A restoration coating bridges every lap and fastener head in one pass and drops the surface temperature the panel has to live with.

    What this involves

  • Separated standing seam on a metal roof with a hand seamer set beside the open joint

    Panel and Seam Repair

    Standing seams that have sprung, oil canning that has torn at a fastener, dented panels and failed end laps. Repaired in place where that will hold, replaced a section at a time where it will not.

    What this involves

  • Roofer working along a fastener run during a documented metal roof inspection in Tucson

    Metal Roof Inspection

    Every fastener run, lap, penetration and flashing detail walked and photographed, with an honest condition report. Worth doing before you accept anyone's opinion that a roof is finished.

    What this involves

  • Solar mount standoff bolted through a metal roof rib with failed sealant around the base

    Skylight and Solar Mount Leak Repair

    Curb mounted skylights and solar standoffs that were flashed into the metal badly, or bolted straight through it with a smear of sealant. Extremely common where an array went on after the roof.

    What this involves

  • Drip edge pulled away from the fascia with water staining the timber behind it

    Gutter and Drip Edge Repair

    Eave trim, drip edge and gutter detail. When monsoon runoff gets in behind the fascia instead of away from the house, the damage lands on timber rather than metal.

    What this involves

  • Lifted counterflashing where a metal patio cover meets a stucco wall, with rust staining below

    Patio Cover and Carport Roof Repair

    Attached metal patio covers, ramadas and carports. Lower slope than the house roof, less well detailed when they went up, and usually leaking at the wall tie in.

Tell us what the roof is doing

The fastest way to get an answer about a roof.

Town or neighbourhood is enough to start with.

Is water coming in right now?

Where the stain is, what weather it takes, and roughly how old the roof is. Those three tell us the most.

If water is coming in right now, call(520) 555-0132 instead of filling this in.
