Hail Damage on a Metal Roof
Inside The Building
New leaks appear at several spots after a hailstorm, with no obvious hole.
On The Roof
Hail has dented panels and cracked old sealant at laps and screw heads.

Protect Storm-Worn Seams And Flashing With A Repaired, Coated Roof
As a Ridley Park metal roof coating contractor, we survey storm damage on commercial metal roofs, repair it, and then coat the roof.
Ridley Park Metal Roof Coating After Storm Season
Ridley Park metal roof coating work often follows a summer storm. Hail dents, lifted flashing, opened seams, and loosened vent boots all need to be found before a coating goes on, since coating over them hides the damage without stopping the water. We survey the whole roof, photograph what we find, and repair it first.
The repair list comes with photos so you can see each problem before it is fixed.
- Full-roof survey for hail dents, lifted flashing, and open seams
- Vents, fans, and curbs checked for loosened seals
- Damage photographed and listed before repair
- Coating scheduled only after repairs are complete
Metal Roof Coating Storm Damage in Ridley Park
Storm damage shows inside first. Here is what each symptom tends to mean on the roof. Each one gets checked before any coating plan is written.
Repairs Around Roof Vents
Inside The Building
Water drips near an exhaust fan or plumbing vent during storms.
On The Roof
Wind has loosened the vent boot or curb flashing, and deposits from exhaust have weakened the seal.
Flashing Lifted At The Edge

Wind-driven rain gets in along one wall during strong storms.

Edge or wall flashing has lifted and needs refastening before coating.
Debris Marks On The Panels

A ceiling stain appears where branches came down on the building.
On The Roof
Falling debris punctured or creased a panel, which gets patched or replaced.
Flashing Torn At A Rooftop Unit

Benefits of Coating Your Roof
A storm-repaired, coated roof gives Ridley Park buildings these gains.
Storm Damage Repaired Before Coating
Repairs come first, so the coating sits on a roof that is whole again.
Vents And Curbs Sealed
Reflashed vents and curbs get extra coating build around them.
Cracked Sealant Replaced
Laps and screw heads cracked by hail are cleaned, resealed, and coated.
A Record Of The Roof
Photos and notes from the survey help with future inspections after the next storm.
Gutters Cleared After The Storm
Debris washed into gutters and drains is removed, so the repaired roof can shed water again.
Commercial Roof Coating Options for Ridley Park
After storm repairs, the system choice follows the roof type.
Storm Inspection Before Roof Coating
Every panel, seam, vent, and flashing run is checked and photographed before a coating plan is written. Photos of each finding go into the written scope.
Acrylic Over Repaired Panels
Sloped panels with fresh repairs take primer, fabric at laps, and acrylic coats. Fabric reinforces laps that hail cracked open.
Silicone Over Low Sections
Flatter sections with puddles take silicone once their seams and drains are repaired. Drains on flat sections are cleared of storm debris first.
Repairs Around Roof Vents
Vent boots, fan curbs, and exhaust stacks are reflashed and cleaned of deposits so coating bonds around them. Fan housings are cleaned before new flashing goes on.

Vents
What should be repaired around vents on a Ridley Park commercial roof?
Vent curbs and flashing need tight connections before coating nearby. We look for loose seals, damaged metal, and exhaust deposits, and coordinate any equipment service that affects the detail. The repair leaves a surface the coating bonds to and a route for later inspection.
Storms
Should coating wait until storm damage is assessed?
Yes. Punctures, displaced flashing, and opened seams get repaired first. Coating over a defect you have not found makes the next leak harder to trace.
Hail
Does every hail dent need repair?
Cosmetic dents in firm panels can be coated over. Dents that cracked sealant, opened a lap, or broke through the finish get repaired first.
Records
Will you document the damage?
We do. The survey includes photos and a list of what we found and repaired, which helps with future inspections and any conversations about the storm.
Timing
How soon after a storm can a roof be coated?
Once repairs are complete and the roof is dry and within the product temperature range. Repairs usually come first, with coating scheduled for the next good weather stretch.
Hail
Hail Damage on a Metal Roof: Can It Be Coated?
Dents in firm panels can be coated once cracked sealant and opened laps are repaired. Panels punctured or creased by hail or debris are patched or replaced first, then the whole roof is primed and coated.
Wind
What does wind usually damage on a metal roof?
Edge trim, ridge caps, and flashing at walls and curbs, plus loosened fasteners along the eaves. We refasten and reseal those details as part of the storm repairs.
