About Our Anderson Metal Roof Coating Work
How We Decide What Gets Coated and What Gets Fixed First

- Thickness readings recorded
- Photos of every section
About Our Anderson Metal Roof Coating Work From the Ground Up
About our Anderson metal roof coating work in one line: the prep decides how long the coating lasts, so most of our time goes there.
A coating is a thin layer over the steel you already have. It seals and protects what is under it, so the screws, laps, rust, and gutters need to be right before it goes on.
That is why every job starts with an inspection list you can read, and why repairs are priced line by line instead of folded into one number.
- Each section photographed before and after
- Screws and laps handled one at a time
- Rust primed on bare steel before coating
- Coating thickness checked as it goes on

Rust Depth
Surface rust versus pinholes and rust-through near eaves and gutters.
Gutters and Eaves
Slope, clogs, and spots where ice or water backs up.
Curbs and Penetrations
Flashing at rooftop units, fans, pipe boots, and skylights.
Wet Insulation
Stains below and soft areas that point to trapped water.
Access and Staging
Where lifts, pails, and hoses can reach the roof without blocking docks.
Past Repairs
Old patches, tape, and mastic that could lift a new coating.
What We Will Not Do
Some roofs need more than a coating, and some shortcuts shorten a coating life. This is where we draw the line.
