Trust the metal roof repair experts at Jurin Roofing to solve all your metal roof issues.
Metal roof systems represent a significant portion of the overall roofing systems in the United States and has continued to grow in popularity both in commercial and residential applications. One of the biggest benefits of a metal roof system is that they have the longest life spans of all roofing applications at around 50 years with proper maintenance and repairs. Metal roofing is also fire resistant, durable and energy efficient.
One of the downsides of a metal roof is the initial installation price, which tends to be two or three times more than other types of roofing. That’s why regular maintenance and repairs are so important for your metal roof system.

METAL ROOFREPAIR OPTIONS
Are you faced with the constant need for metal roof repair work? Trying to decide if it’s time to replace it?
Building owners and managers have three primary options when dealing with their roofing systems: repair, restore, or replace the roof with a new roof assembly. When you are faced with leaking conditions on your metal roof system you need to decide if you are going to repair, restore or replace the roof system.
REPAIR
Metal roof systems can be repaired and maintained. These roof systems may have an estimated use life of 30 years or more if the original installation was a quality installation. It is strongly recommended that metal roof systems be reviewed on a bi-annual basis to catch problems early on before they develop further.
RESTORE
Metal roof restoration typically consists of a specific set of steps. These include repairs to the deficiencies including fastener replacement and a rust inhibitor. Additional repairs to details and penetrations may be necessary. After the repairs have been completed it is recommended that a coating be applied to the surface of the roof system.
REPLACE
Your metal roof system will reach a point when replacement is your best option. There will come a point when leaks increase to a point where repairing is no longer feasible and where restoration is not possible. When it comes time to replace your metal roof there are many options other than just another metal roof system such as a metal roof retrofit.

METAL ROOFREPLACEMENT OPTIONS
This method allows for a single ply roofing system to be installed directly over the existing metal roof system where the metal roof then becomes the roof deck.
The area between the metal panel ribs is filled in with insulation board. This creates a flush surface. After the infill is installed an additional layer of insulation board is installed creating a solid surface to apply the roof membrane to. Finally a new single ply membrane is installed.
One of the best solutions is OMG’s RhinoBond System. RhinoBond is an alternative membrane attachment system for TPO and PVC roofing membranes and ideal for the metal retrofit method. OMG’s RhinoBond metal retrofit method is an approved Factory Mutual system and secure the membrane without penetration.
