Most issues stem from a handful of common causes: aging sealants, fastener movement, storm damage, or improper installation.

Metal roofs handle our coastal climate better than most alternatives. Salt air, winter snow, summer heat, and hurricane-force winds - metal systems are built to withstand all of it while lasting 40-70 years.

The Most Common Metal Roof Issues We Fix

Leaks top the list. Most metal roof leaks happen at seams, fasteners, or flashing rather than through the panels themselves. Sealants dry out over time, fasteners work loose through thermal expansion, and flashing separates from adjacent surfaces. These failures let water find its way underneath.

Fastener problems show up frequently on older roofs. Exposed fasteners expand and contract with temperature changes, creating gaps around washers. We fix this through fastener replacement with proper sealants or by upgrading to concealed fastener systems during panel replacement.

Rust appears on steel roofing when protective coatings fail or get scratched. Coastal properties face higher risk from salt air exposure. Caught early, surface rust responds well to treatment and recoating. Ignored, it spreads and compromises structural integrity

Storm damage from wind, hail, or falling debris happens suddenly. High winds can lift panels at edges or corners. Hail dents softer metals like copper or aluminum. Tree branches puncture panels outright. Most storm damage requires professional assessment to determine repair versus replacement.

Panel separation at seams affects standing seam systems when clips fail or panels shift. This usually traces back to installation quality or severe weather events. Proper reseaming and clip replacement restore weather tightness.

Common Metal Roofing Questions

How do I know if my metal roof leak needs immediate repair?
Active leaking during rain, water stains spreading on ceilings, or dripping inside your building all require immediate attention. Even minor leaks can cause hidden water damage to insulation, wood decking, and interior finishes. Contact us right away for emergency metal roof leak repair – waiting turns manageable problems into costly structural issues.
Surface rust often responds well to treatment through wire brushing, rust converter application, and protective recoating. Deep rust that’s penetrated the metal requires panel replacement. We assess rust severity during inspections and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Early intervention saves money.
Thermal expansion causes fasteners to work loose over time. Metal panels expand in heat and contract in cold, creating subtle movement at every fastener point. Backing screws also indicate deteriorated washers that no longer seal properly. We fix this through metal roof fastener replacement with upgraded washers and proper tension.
Seam separation typically results from improper installation, failed clips, or extreme weather stress. Standing seam systems depend on clips that allow panel movement while maintaining seam integrity. When clips fail or weren’t installed correctly, panels separate. Metal roof seam repair involves reclipping, reseaming, and sometimes panel realignment.
Minor repairs like fastener replacement or small leak fixes typically run $300-800. Seam repairs range from $500-1,500 depending on affected area. Panel replacement costs $15-30 per square foot including labor. Storm damage repairs vary significantly based on extent. We provide free estimates so you know costs upfront before committing to any work.
