New Leaks After a Storm
Drips in spots that were always dry before.
Punctures or split seams from hail impact.

As a Cumberland metal roof coating contractor, we inspect retail and warehouse metal roofs for hail damage, repair what broke, and coat the panels that remain solid.

Cumberland metal roof coating after a hailstorm starts with sorting damage. Cosmetic dents can be coated, punctures and split seams get repaired first, and panels that lost their shape get replaced with a matching profile.
East-side retail buildings and warehouses often have long eaves and many gutter runs, so storm damage there gets checked along every edge. Repairs are listed separately from the coating, so you keep a clear record of what the storm did and what was fixed before the roof was coated.
Hail and wind damage often hides until the next rain.
Drips in spots that were always dry before.
Punctures or split seams from hail impact.
Paint flakes in gutters and at downspouts.
Factory finish knocked off by hail, exposing steel to rust.
Banging or rattling noises during gusts.
Fasteners loosened by wind uplift and hail strikes.
Rust appearing on interior steel within months of a storm.
Coating damage at dents letting water reach bare steel.
Gutters overflowing at dented sections.
Hail-dented gutters and eave trim no longer carrying water off the roof.
After hail, coating restores the finish on panels that are still solid and seals the joints storms loosen.
Cosmetic hail dents leave the steel intact but strip paint and loosen fasteners. Once punctures and seams are repaired, a coating covers the dented field and gives it a new protective surface, so the roof stays on the building.
Screws and laps loosened by impact are replaced or resealed before coating, closing gaps that storms opened across the roof.
Chipped finish at each dent gets primer and coating before rust can start, which keeps small dents from turning into rust spots.
Photos and notes from the inspection stay with you for future planning and any conversation with your property insurer.
Storm-damaged roofs get repairs first, then the coating that fits their slope.
| System | Where It Fits | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic | Dented sloped panels after repairs | Coats in dry, mild weather |
| Silicone | Low-slope roofs with hail-chipped finish | Handles brief ponding |
| Spray foam | Roofs with many damaged laps | Adds one continuous layer |
| Panel replacement plus coating | Punctured or split panels | Matching profile installed |
| Coating after gutter replacement | Roofs with hail-dented gutters | New gutters set before coating |
Fresh leaks after hail usually mean punctures or loosened screws. Call and describe where the new leaks appear.

Each panel is checked for dents, punctures, split seams, and loose fasteners, and the damage is photographed and mapped so repairs are clear before pricing. Gutters and trim are checked too.
Punctures get patched, split seams rebuilt, and badly bent panels replaced with matching profiles. Dented gutters and trim that block drainage are replaced at the same time.
Loosened screws are replaced or capped, and every lap is reinforced, since hail and wind work fasteners loose across the whole roof, including areas without dents.
Bare steel at dents and scrapes gets rust primer so the coating bonds to clean metal, and chipped edges on panels are cleaned first.
The coating goes on in measured coats across the repaired field, with thickness checked as crews work and the repairs noted on your roof record.
Apart from Cumberland, our metal roof coating area includes these towns.
Outside these towns? Call us or send us a message.

Warehouses, plants, and downtown blocks across the city.
Warehouse and retail roofs coated around active docks.
Shop and farm building panels with exposed fasteners.
Occupied storefronts and offices coated while open.
Shop and garage roofs staged on tight lots.
Cosmetic dents and cracked sealant can be coated once the roof is checked. Holes, broken seams, and damaged screws are repaired first, and panels bent out of shape are replaced, since a coating has nothing solid to protect there.
Retail buildings and warehouses across Cumberland are within our area. Each roof is checked for rust, loose fasteners, open seams, and hail damage, repaired as needed, and coated with the system that fits it. Owners just outside the area can call to ask.
Coating prices within our published range of about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot. Hail repairs, such as patched punctures, rebuilt seams, and replaced panels, are added on top, and we list each repair separately after inspection.
We inspect and coat commercial metal roofs throughout Cumberland. After a storm, call with the address and what you have noticed inside, and we will schedule an inspection walk.
Damage is repaired as soon as it is found to stop leaks, and coating follows once repairs are done and the weather allows. Waiting a full season leaves bare steel exposed at chipped dents.
Inspection photos and a damage map are shared with you after the walk. What your insurer covers is between you and them, but clear records of dents, punctures, and loosened fasteners help that conversation.
Dents themselves rarely leak, but they can pull laps apart and loosen nearby screws. Those joints are where we look closest after hail, and they get resealed before coating.
Older dents that never leaked usually coat well once the chipped finish is primed. Punctures or split laps from earlier storms that were patched poorly are reopened, repaired properly, and then coated with the rest of the roof, so old storm damage stops being a weak spot.
