Standing seam is a type of roofing system that we have a lot of experience with. We are equipped to provide services and repair solutions that meet your deadlines and are easy on your budget. In some cases, your roof parts will only need to be removed and replaced. In other cases, Roof Doctors will clean, prime, and coat the areas with a waterproof coating designed specifically for standing seam roofs.
Like most roofs, standing seam experiences movement that occurs because of the climate control and pressure of the building. This flexing can cause the panels to shift, slowly loosening flashing and sealants and eventually allowing water to enter.
Some of the most common repair services include work for:
- Panel joints
- Pipe boots
- Wall flashing
- Curb problems
- Edge metal issues
Most standing seam roofs are installed with a 10- to 30-year manufacturer’s warranty. Once the original 2-year contractor’s warranty runs out, any certified and approved contractor can make repairs and replacements. Roof Doctors is certified to work with Versico, GAF, Carlisle, Firestone, and Johns Manville.
Unlike membrane roofs, standing seam roofs typically do not start to show problems until years 5 to 7 after the original installation. So owners who have a manufacturer’s warranty and a contractor workmanship warranty are able to use the contractor of their choosing for repairs and services.
