Our Services
Commercial Metal Roof Coating Across Norfolk
Five coating systems, one for each kind of roof we see. Pick a tab to see where each fits.
Commercial Metal Roof Coating
Our full restoration for steel shops, plants, and warehouses: screws reset or upsized, laps sealed with fabric, rust primed, and an elastomeric topcoat over the panels you already have. The building keeps working underneath the whole time.
Best For
- Steel roofs with surface rust and loose screws
- Metal roof coating for warehouses and plant buildings
Not For
- Panels rusted through across most of the roof
- Roofs over soaked insulation that stays in place
Silicone Roof Coating
Silicone handles low-slope steel and flat sections where rain sits for days after a storm. It is sprayed in one heavy system over reinforced laps and drains, and later recoats stay silicone.
Best For
- Low spots and flat areas that hold water
- Roofs that need a film flexible in winter cold
Not For
- Owners who plan to recoat with acrylic later
- Roofs with heavy foot traffic on the coating
Acrylic Roof Coating
Acrylic goes on sloped metal panels that drain within a day. We roll or spray two or more coats over primer on warm, dry days, and the lower material cost suits big pitched roofs.
Best For
- Pitched steel that sheds rain quickly
- Owners who want easy, low-cost recoats
Not For
- Flat areas where water stands
- Work in cold or rainy months
Spray Foam Roofing
Spray foam goes over the existing roof in one continuous layer, adds insulation, and can build slope into low spots. A silicone or acrylic topcoat protects it from sunlight.
Best For
- Uninsulated shops and storage buildings
- Roofs with hundreds of leaking laps
Not For
- Roofs over wet insulation left in place
- Sites where overspray cannot be controlled
Shingle Roof Coating
Shingle coating is for offices, clinics, and churches with aging asphalt shingles that still lie flat. We secure tabs, seal flashing, and coat the field with a product made for shingles.
Best For
- Shingles losing granules but still flat
- Steep roofs on offices and churches
Not For
- Curling, cupping, or missing shingles
- Roofs with soft or wet decking
Roof Leaking Over the Shop Floor?
Call and tell us where the water shows up inside. Most steel roof leaks trace to screws, laps, or a curb we can fix before coating.
Work Sequence
How Norfolk Metal Roof Coating Work Gets Done
Every job follows the same five steps, whatever the coating system.
- 1On The Roof
Inspect Your Roof
We walk the whole roof, test screws and laps by hand, check drains and curbs, and look at the deck and insulation from inside before we name a coating.
- 2Paperwork
Price The Scope
You get the coating system, the repairs it needs first, and the square footage it covers, with wet insulation and bad panels listed separately.
- 3On The Roof
Clean And Repair
Pressure washing strips dirt and chalking, rust gets primed, screws are reset or replaced, and laps, curbs, and flashing get fabric.
- 4On The Roof
Apply The Coating
The topcoat is rolled or sprayed in full passes on dry days to the thickness listed for the product, section by section.
- 5At The Building
Check And Hand Back
Film thickness gets measured, thin spots get touched up, the staging area is cleared, and we walk the finished roof with you.

Questions
Top Norfolk Metal Roof Coating Questions
Quick answers before you book a roof walk.
Fit
Is roof coating worth it on a metal building?
It is when the panels are still solid and the leaks come from laps, screws, and surface rust. Coating seals those and adds a new weathering surface with no tear-off. Rust-through, a soft deck, or soaked insulation make it a poor fit, and the roof walk tells you which side your building is on.
Can you coat a rusted metal roof on a sale barn or ag shop?
Yes, when the rust sits on the surface and the panels still hold a screw. We brush or wash off loose scale, prime the rust, and seal laps before the topcoat, and rusted-through panels get replaced first. Livestock buildings get an underside check too, since ammonia and moisture work on the steel from inside.
Cost
How much does a coated metal roof cost?
Use about $2.50 to $4 per square foot to plan coating and about $5 to $8 for full replacement. Rust, the number of laps and screws, total size, access, and the number of coats set the final price, and wet insulation found on the walk adds cost because it has to come out first.
Building Types
Does metal roof coating for warehouses and steel plants work?
Large, low-slope steel roofs take it well. Those roofs leak at end laps, ridge caps, and thousands of screws, so we clean, treat rust, and seal every lap and screw before full coating passes, with extra detail work at stacks and vents.
Which building code applies to coating a roof in Norfolk?
Nebraska adopts the 2018 International Building Code and International Existing Building Code under Neb. Rev. Stat. 71-6403, and Norfolk applies its own adopted version. The city building division decides if your coating scope needs a permit, so check before work begins.
