Metal Roof Restoration Systems
Protech Roofing Solutions offers proven metal roof restoration systems that protect, seal, and extend the life of commercial metal roofing. We use trusted products, tested application methods, and expert craftsmanship to restore your roof without the need for full replacement.
What Is Metal Roof Restoration?
Metal roof restoration is a waterproofing and protective system designed to seal leaks, stop rust, and restore aging metal roofs. At Protech Roofing Solutions, we use advanced coating systems reinforced with fabric and caulking to seal seams, fasteners, and penetrations. These systems eliminate leaks and improve energy performance by reflecting heat and reducing expansion stress. Our coatings deliver long term durability and a smooth, finished look that revitalizes your building. Restoration offers a high return on investment without the cost of full metal replacement.
- Stops leaks and reinforces seams
- Creates a seamless, flexible waterproof membrane
- Increases energy efficiency and reduces cooling costs
Why Choose Restoration Over Replacement?
Restoring your metal roof preserves its structure while protecting your building from leaks and energy loss. Our system creates a seamless waterproof membrane that resists weather and temperature fluctuations. By reflecting heat, the coating also lowers cooling costs and stabilizes interior temperatures. Property owners benefit from improved roof performance and the ability to expense the work as maintenance instead of capital costs. Restoration is a smart alternative when your roof is aging but still structurally sound.
The Metal Roof System Application Process
Protech Roofing Solutions follows a detailed step by step process to ensure every restoration system performs at its best. Each step is designed to improve adhesion, create a watertight seal, and extend the service life of your roof. Our products are manufactured by Conklin and have been proven through decades of nationwide performance. From prep to final coating, every detail matters.
Step by Step System Application
1. Power Wash and Clean
We begin by cleaning the roof surface and removing rust, dirt, and contaminants using Rust Off and high-pressure washing.
2. Prime the Surface
Once clean, we apply Conklin Encase Primer to prepare the metal for proper bonding with the base coating.
3. Seal Fasteners
All exposed fastener heads are sealed with Kwik Kaulk to create watertight coverage across the entire system.
4. Reinforce and Coat
We reinforce all seams with fabric or butyl tape, apply a base coat, then finish with a full acrylic top coat such as Puma XL, Benchmark, or Rapid Roof.
5. Apply Final Acrylic Coating
We seal the entire roof with one of our high-performance Conklin acrylic coatings: Puma XL, Benchmark, Rapid Roof III, or Rapid Roof HV. Each offers excellent reflectivity, weather resistance, and energy savings.
6. Completed Project
Once the system is fully applied and cured, you receive a finished roof that is watertight, energy efficient, and built to perform for years. We conduct a final walkthrough and provide all documentation and warranty details.

Answers To Common Questions
Choosing to restore a metal roof is a smart option for many property owners, especially when the roof is aging but still structurally sound. At Protech Roofing Solutions, we offer complete restoration systems designed to seal leaks, stop rust, and improve energy performance. Whether you manage an office, warehouse, or school facility, restoration offers long term benefits with less disruption than a full replacement. Our systems use tested materials and professional application techniques to deliver lasting results. Below are a few common questions from building owners exploring metal roof restoration options.
What is the difference between metal roof restoration and replacement?
Restoration focuses on repairing and protecting your existing roof using coatings and reinforcements. Replacement involves tearing off the old roof and installing a new one. Restoration is less expensive, takes less time, and can be expensed as maintenance. It is ideal for metal roofs that are weathered but not structurally damaged. Our team can inspect your roof and help you determine if restoration is the right fit.
How long will a restored metal roof last?
A properly restored metal roof can last 10 to 20 years or more, depending on the system used and the condition of the existing roof. The coatings we apply are durable, weather resistant, and backed by warranty. We also offer maintenance plans to keep your restored roof in top shape for the long run. With regular care, you can extend its life even further. Restoration is a long term solution with real value.
What kind of coatings do you use for metal roofs?
We use Conklin acrylic roof coatings, which are ENERGY STAR rated and proven to reduce heat absorption. These coatings come in different formulas including Benchmark, Rapid Roof, and Puma XL. Each is designed for different needs, but all provide waterproofing, flexibility, and UV protection. We will help you choose the right one for your building. The goal is to create a seamless, durable membrane over your roof.
Will restoration improve energy efficiency?
Yes. Our coatings reflect up to 85 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet energy, which keeps the roof cooler and reduces interior temperatures. Many building owners report lower cooling bills and improved comfort after restoration. Over time, these savings can help offset the cost of the project. Energy efficiency is one of the major benefits of metal roof restoration.
