Metal Roof Restoration in Irving, TX
Extending the life of industrial metal roofing.
Technical
Specifications.
Commercial Painting Contractors Irving provides comprehensive metal roof restoration services for commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities throughout Irving featuring standing seam, corrugated panel, R-panel, and other metal roofing systems requiring corrosion protection, leak repair, and reflective coating application. Our metal roof specialists deliver systematic restoration including rust remediation, fastener and seam sealing, panel repair, and application of elastomeric or acrylic coating systems that extend roof service life 10-20 years while providing energy savings through reflective properties. We understand that metal roof coating represents cost-effective alternative to complete roof replacement—restoring weathertightness and corrosion protection at 20-40% of replacement cost while addressing energy efficiency. Serving Irving's extensive metal roof inventory on warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail buildings, and older commercial structures, we provide complete restoration protecting building envelope integrity and deferring capital-intensive roof replacement.

Frequently Asked
Questions.
Can a metal roof be restored or must it be replaced?
Most metal roofs with surface rust and coating failure can be restored cost-effectively. Candidates for restoration include roofs with localized rust but structurally sound panels, fastener leaks addressable through sealing, and coating failures but intact substrate. Roofs with extensive rust-through perforations affecting 20%+ of panels, severe panel buckling or damage, failed structural support, or fundamental design flaws causing chronic leaking may justify replacement. We provide honest assessment helping owners make cost-effective decisions—restoration typically costs 30-50% of replacement.
How do you stop leaks in metal roofs before coating?
Leak sealing is critical pre-coating step. Common sources include fastener penetrations backing out or losing sealant, seam failures from thermal movement or improper installation, panel damage from impact or corrosion, and transition flashing failures at penetrations or edges. We seal fasteners with elastomeric sealants, reinforce seams with sealants or repair tapes, patch damaged panels, and address flashing issues. Coating alone doesn't seal leaks—comprehensive sealing followed by coating provides long-term watertight assembly.
What coating systems work best for metal roofs in Texas heat?
Texas metal roofs require highly reflective, flexible systems. Acrylic coatings offer excellent reflectivity (often 85-90% solar reflectance), good flexibility for thermal movement, and cost-effectiveness. Silicone systems provide superior ponding water resistance and extreme UV stability—ideal for low-slope metal roofs. Elastomeric systems offer maximum flexibility for thermal expansion. All systems should be Energy Star rated cool roofs reflecting heat and reducing cooling loads. We recommend systems based on slope, exposure, budget, and performance requirements.
How much energy can reflective metal roof coatings save?
Reflective roof coatings dramatically reduce heat absorption. Dark aged metal roofs can reach 170-180°F in Texas sun. Reflective coatings reduce surface temperatures to 110-120°F—a 50-60°F reduction. This translates to measurable cooling cost reductions—typically 15-30% depending on insulation, building type, and HVAC efficiency. For Irving's long cooling season, many building owners report 4-7 year payback on coating investment through energy savings alone. Department of Energy studies confirm average 20% cooling cost reduction from cool roof implementation.
How long do metal roof coatings last before requiring reapplication?
Quality metal roof coatings typically last 10-15 years before requiring maintenance recoating. Silicone systems can exceed 15 years. Acrylic systems average 10-12 years. Lifespan depends on coating type, application thickness, roof slope, and exposure. Most manufacturers offer 10-15 year warranties when applied per specifications. Periodic inspection every 3-5 years identifies minor issues allowing touch-ups extending overall system life beyond initial warranty period.
Can metal roof coating stop all leaks?
Coating provides excellent waterproofing for surface issues like fastener penetrations, minor seam gaps, and small panel perforations. However, coating can't address structural problems like failed roof deck, major panel damage, or fundamental design flaws causing water accumulation. We conduct thorough pre-coating inspections identifying issues requiring structural repair before coating. When major repairs are needed, we coordinate with roofing contractors. Coating is final waterproofing layer—underlying roof structure must be sound for coating to succeed.
