Wet Insulation Under Panels
Insulation that soaked up leaks stays wet for months. It is cut out and replaced, because coating over it traps the water against the steel.

We offer Kenesaw metal roof coating that begins with a close look at insulation, panels, and framing, so only roof areas that are ready get coated.

Kenesaw metal roof coating starts with one question: is this roof ready? Coating over wet insulation, rusted-through panels, or sagging steel only hides a problem for a while, so the roof walk sorts every section into ready, repair first, or replace.
Owners get that list before any work is priced. Ready areas can be coated while the others are repaired, or the whole job can wait until every section is sound.
Roof Conditions
These six findings decide whether a Kenesaw roof section is ready for coating.
Insulation that soaked up leaks stays wet for months. It is cut out and replaced, because coating over it traps the water against the steel.
Light through the panels from inside means rust has eaten through. Those panels come out and new steel goes in before coating.
A dip between purlins can point to a failed or rusted purlin underneath. The framing is repaired so the coated roof stays flat and sheds water.
Gutter joints rust out first and spill water down the wall and into the eave insulation. Failed sections are replaced so the repaired insulation stays dry after coating.
Screws that spin freely have lost their hold in the purlin. They are replaced with oversized screws, or the purlin is repaired where the steel has rusted thin.
Ceiling or wall stains that line up with a seam or screw row show the leak path. Those joints get extra fabric and coating.
Benefits
Checking readiness first makes the coating on a Kenesaw building last as long as it should.
Problems found before coating are fixed once, instead of showing up under the new surface.
Coats go over dry insulation and solid steel, which is what lets them seal the roof.
Only failed panels are replaced, and the rest of the roof is restored in place.
A light coat reflects sun and cuts heat through the steel into the building.
Once a Kenesaw roof is ready, any of our five systems can follow. Each card notes where it fits.

Ready steel sections get rust primer, screw sealing, lap fabric, and elastomeric coats.
Commercial Metal Roof Coating ServiceFlat or low sections that still hold water after the repairs take silicone over primer and reinforced seams.

Sloped metal that drains well can take acrylic in a base and top coat during a dry, mild stretch.

Foam can go over a repaired roof to add insulation and slope, with the new insulation and steel kept dry underneath.

Process
The first two steps decide what happens on the rest of the roof.
We check from inside and on top for stains, wet insulation, daylight through panels, and sags.
Each roof section is marked ready, repair first, or replace, and the owner gets the list.
Wet insulation, failed panels, and damaged purlins are replaced where marked.
Ready sections are washed, primed, and get new screws and lap fabric.
Field coats go on section by section once each one is dry and sound.

Questions Kenesaw building owners ask about readiness and cost.
Look for leaks, rust-through, loose screws, and wet insulation. Inside stains often line up with seams or screws above, and sagging panels can point to failed purlins. We check each of these and tell you whether the roof is ready for coating or needs repairs first.
Yes. Older steel buildings often need a few replaced panels and some insulation work first. The readiness check shows how much, so the coating covers a roof that is dry and solid.
From inside, we look for stains, sagging insulation facing, and damp batts at the purlins. From the roof, soft spots, rust stains, and leak paths at seams guide where to open a small inspection cut. Wet areas are marked on the readiness list for replacement.
Then replacement is compared side by side with repairs plus coating. When most panels have rusted through, new metal is the better use of the budget, and we say so on the readiness list rather than coating over failed steel.
The repair list. Coating plans at about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot and replacement at about $5 to $8, so each section moved from repair to ready keeps more of the roof in the coating range.

Yes, when the sections are separate enough. Ready sections are coated and sealed at their edges, and the repaired sections are coated once their new steel or insulation is in.
