Not Sure Which System You Need?
You do not need to know the system to call. Describe the roof and we sort it out on the walk-through.
Leak Showing Up Inside
Call and tell us where it drips. The leak point often decides the repair before the coating choice.

Every Coating Job Starts The Same Way
Whatever system goes on top, these steps come first on every Frankfort job.
- WALK
Inspect Your Roof
The roof walk records rust, fasteners, laps, flashing, drainage, and any wet insulation, with photos marked on a roof plan you keep.
- PICK
Match The System
Slope, ponding, insulation, and the existing surface decide the system. Mixed roofs get one per section.
- PREP
Repair Before Coating
Failed screws, rusted-through panels, open laps, and loose flashing get fixed so the coating goes over a firm surface.
- COAT
Apply And Check
Coats go on at the listed thickness, and the finished roof is walked again for missed spots.
Service Questions
Questions About Our Coating Services
More detail lives on the metal roof coating FAQ.
How is a coating different from repainting a metal roof?
A coating builds a thick, elastic film that seals leaks, while paint adds a thin color layer with almost no waterproofing. Coatings go on many times thicker and stretch as the steel moves.
Paint over a leaking lap leaves the leak in place. A coating system comes with fastener and seam repairs at the exact spots metal roofs fail.
Why do exposed-fastener metal roofs leak at the screws?
The rubber washer under each screw head dries out, cracks, and pulls loose as the panels expand and contract. Crews tighten or replace screws, upsize stripped ones, and seal every head before the field coats.
Where does urethane coating fit?
On roofs with foot traffic, hail, or rough use, since it cures harder than silicone or acrylic. It often goes on as a base coat over seams and fasteners with another topcoat, and only products the maker approves together are combined.
Is prep different for standing seam and exposed-fastener roofs?
Yes. Exposed-fastener panels leak at screws and laps, while standing seam panels leak at end laps, clips, and penetrations. Standing seam floats on clips, so the coating across its seams needs enough stretch for that movement.
What drives the cost of coating a commercial roof?
Roof size, rust level, and fastener work drive most of it, and prep labor often outweighs the coating itself. Pitch, panels or skylights to replace, the coating type and thickness, and access at the building all add to it.
Can a roof coating qualify for Section 179?
Roofs on existing nonresidential buildings can qualify, according to IRS Publication 946. Whether a coating counts as an improvement or a repair is a tax question, so talk with a CPA, and keep invoices that split rust, fastener, panel, and coating work.
