Shared Process
How Every Coating Job Starts And Ends
Whatever the system, the job follows the same five-step backbone.
- WALK
Inspect Your Roof
We walk the roof, test screws and seams, check for trapped moisture and ponding, and look at the underside from inside before recommending a system.
- PLAN
Pick The System
The roof's slope, water, rust, insulation needs, and recoat history decide between metal coating, silicone, acrylic, foam, or a shingle coating.
- PREP
Clean And Repair
Washing, screw and lap work, rust primer, and gutter and skylight repairs come before any coat.
- CHECK
Permit And Schedule
Permit routing for the property's city or Metro area is confirmed, and the roof work window is set around weather and tenants.
- COAT
Coat And Record
Coats go on to the specified thickness, checked with a wet film gauge, and the products used are logged for the next recoat.
Questions
Choosing A Roof Coating Service
Answers on picking a system, cost, permits, and upkeep.
Which commercial metal roofs are good candidates for coating?
Exposed-fastener R-panel and PBR roofs with surface rust and loose screws come first, then standing seam roofs with leaking seams. The test is whether the steel holds a person's weight without flexing and whether rust stays on the surface. Holes, soft spots, or rust flaking in layers mean replacing those panels first.
Is silicone or acrylic better on a commercial metal roof?
Silicone fits metal roofs with low spots or valleys that hold water, and acrylic fits roofs with steady slope that drain fast. Think about the second coating cycle too, since silicone limits what can go over it later, while acrylic needs only a wash and fresh acrylic. Urethane is a third choice where foot traffic matters.
Should a metal roof be coated, restored, re-paneled, or replaced?
Coat a roof whose panels are solid, restore one with loose screws and leaking laps, re-panel sections with holes, and replace the roof when purlins or most panels have failed. A full roof walk plus a look at the panel underside from inside sorts out which path fits your building.
What drives the cost of coating a commercial roof?
Roof size, rust and screw condition, and the coating system matter most. After that come the number of screws to replace or cap, skylights, curbs, and vents to detail, height and lift access, gutter and trim repairs, primer needs, and the coats and thickness specified. Pricing follows an on-site roof walk.
Which office handles permits in each town near Jeffersontown?
Jeffersontown runs its own permits. Fern Creek and Highview go straight to Louisville Metro. Middletown, Hurstbourne, and Douglass Hills each set their own first step, such as a city letter or zoning review. Plumbing and gas permits in all six areas go through the state. Confirm the property's city limits before applying.
How often should a coated roof be checked?
At least once a year and after any major storm, with spring the best time: after freeze-thaw and before the May rains. Each check covers coating at screw heads and laps, gutters and downspouts, skylight panels and curbs, and chalking. Small repairs at these visits keep the coating intact until the next recoat.
