Maintenance Tips

Keep your Standing Seam Metal Roofing roof performing at its best

1

Annual Visual Inspection

Check for any loose panels, sealant issues, or debris accumulation in seams.

2

Clear Debris

Remove leaves and branches that may accumulate in panel valleys.

3

Check Penetrations

Inspect boots and flashings around vents and skylights annually.

4

Avoid Walking

If roof access is needed, walk only on the flat areas between seams.

5

Touch Up Scratches

Minor scratches can be touched up with manufacturer-matched paint.

6

Gutter Cleaning

Metal roofs shed water efficiently, so keep gutters clear.
