Scranton Metal Roof Coating Contractor

Coating plans out at about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot of roof, while replacing a metal roof runs closer to $5 to $8.

Where a job lands in that range comes down to access, rust and seam work, fastener sealing, the coating system, and the number of coats.

Look for chalky film you can wipe off, patches lifting at the laps, or leaks returning in the same spots. Age alone settles nothing. We check how well the remaining coating still grips and what the steel looks like underneath before recommending another layer.

Yes. On distribution buildings we line up stains inside with laps, fasteners, and equipment curbs above, then open suspect spots. Coating over an unknown leak path can trap water under old patches, so the source gets fixed first.

In most cases, after the moisture underneath is checked. Pole barns often have condensation dripping from bare panel undersides and damp insulation. We look at ventilation and the underside along with rust and screws, because a coating on top protects only the outside face.

Ice in gutters and outlets holds meltwater against laps and eaves, where freeze-thaw movement works joints loose. We check gutters, outlets, and edge joints when the roof is safe to walk, and heavy wet snow raises loading questions for the structure itself.

It can. Damp air from processes or poor ventilation condenses on cold panels and drips, leaving stains that resemble rain leaks. We compare indoor conditions with stain locations after storms, and the coating proposal covers only the exterior defects we confirm.
