Metal Roof Repair, Not General Roofing
Metal roof repair is finding out why a panel roof is letting water in and fixing that cause: a fastener, a flashing, a sealant joint, a panel end or a tie-in to another roof. It fits homeowners and building owners whose roof is otherwise sound and who want it back to watertight rather than replaced.
Classic Superoof has installed metal roofs in North Texas since 1992, which is the reason we are usually able to read a metal leak quickly: we know how the panels were meant to go together. Call (817) 268-1500 in Fort Worth or (972) 801-5101 in Dallas. A 24 hour answering service means a storm at 11pm still reaches a person.
Common Metal Roof Problems
Backed-out screws on screw-down panels
Exposed fastener roofs move every hot day. Over years the screws work loose and the rubber washers dry out, so each fastener becomes a small hole. This is the single most common repair we make on barns, shops and older residential panel roofs. Standing seam roofs avoid it because the fasteners are hidden in the seam.
Failed sealant and flashing
Sealant is a wear item, not a roof. Chimneys, walls, pipe boots, skylights and valleys are where we find most leaks, especially where someone reached for a tube of caulk instead of correcting the flashing.
Hail dents versus functional damage
A dented panel is not automatically a failed panel. What matters is whether the coating, the seams and the fasteners are still doing their job. Cosmetic marks and functional damage are treated very differently by insurers, so we document what we find.
Panels lifting at eaves and ridges
Wind gets under an unclipped or under-fastened panel edge and works it upward. Caught early it is a repair; ignored through a couple of storm seasons it becomes a reroof.
Repair or Replace?
Repair makes sense when the panels and coating are in good condition and the problem is local: a run of fasteners, one flashing, a tie-in. Replacement makes sense when the same roof keeps leaking in new places, when the coating is gone, or when the deck underneath has been wet long enough to rot.
We will tell you which one you are looking at, and we would rather repair a roof that has life left in it. If replacement is the honest answer, metal roof installation and replacement covers the options and our metal roof cost guide covers what drives the price.
After a Hail Storm
Get the roof looked at before you file, so you know what is actually damaged. Impact ratings, insurance paperwork and what Texas insurers do with impact-resistant roofs are explained on hail-resistant metal roofs and insurance.
Metal Roof Repair Questions
Call (817) 268-1500 or (972) 801-5101 and you will reach us or our 24 hour answering service. Storm weeks are busy for every roofer in North Texas, so the sooner you call after a leak starts, the sooner we can get eyes on it.
On exposed fastener panels the screws and their washers loosen and dry out over years of expansion and contraction. Re-fastening with correctly sized fasteners and replacing failed washers usually solves it; if the panel holes are worn oversize, that section needs more than screws.
That is your carrier's call, and Texas carriers treat cosmetic damage differently from functional damage. We document the condition of panels, seams, flashing and fasteners so your adjuster is looking at facts rather than guesses.
Usually. Most metal leaks are at penetrations, flashings, laps or fasteners rather than in the middle of a panel. Panels come off when they are perforated, badly deformed or when what is underneath needs work.
Yes. We are IB Roof Systems factory trained, so a leak at the joint between a metal field and a low-slope section is one call, not two contractors. See flat roof systems.
