Metal roofs last a long time, but screws back out, sealant ages and panels shift. Dee's Roofing repairs metal roofs on homes, barns, cabins and shops so they keep doing their job for years to come.
A metal roof can outlast almost any other roofing material — but only if the small parts hold up too. Exposed-fastener roofs rely on thousands of screws with rubber washers that dry out and loosen as the panels expand and contract between hot East Tennessee afternoons and cool nights. Trim pulls loose, sealant cracks, and flashing at chimneys and walls starts to let water by. Dee's Roofing provides metal roof repair for homes, barns, cabins, workshops and commercial buildings.
We start by finding exactly where water is getting in, which on a metal roof can be tricky — water often travels along a panel rib before dripping inside. Then we replace worn fasteners, re-secure loose panels, reseal laps and trim, and repair or replace flashing where it's failed.
Dee's is family-owned, licensed and insured, headquartered in Powell and serving every community within 75 miles of Knoxville. Darrell will tell you honestly whether your metal roof needs a targeted repair or more extensive work, and your estimate is free.
Most metal roof leaks come from a handful of predictable places.
Fasteners and washers loosen over time — we replace them with properly sized screws and fresh seals.
Wind-lifted panels, ridge caps and edge trim re-secured before they tear loose.
Chimney, wall and pipe flashing resealed or replaced so water stays outside.
Cracked sealant at panel overlaps and penetrations cleaned out and redone.
Metal roofing is a big investment, and it's built to last. Letting a few leaking screws or a loose ridge cap go can undo that, soaking insulation, rotting purlins or decking, and causing rust where water sits.
Regular attention keeps a metal roof performing the way it should. A fastener check and reseal every so often is inexpensive compared with replacing panels or framing, and it's one of the best things you can do for a barn, shop or home with a metal roof.
Because Dee's installs metal roofing too, we know how these systems are supposed to go together — and how to fix them without creating new problems.
Here's what a typical metal roof repair from Dee's includes.
The most common causes are worn or backed-out screws, failed sealant at panel overlaps, and flashing problems around chimneys, walls and vents. We'll track down the source during your free inspection.
Yes. We repair metal roofs on barns, workshops, carports, cabins and commercial buildings, as well as homes.
Usually, yes. If a panel is dented, torn or rusted through, we can often replace it without disturbing the rest of the roof, depending on the panel profile and how it's fastened.
It's a good idea to have fasteners and sealant checked every few years and after severe storms. Catching loose screws early prevents leaks and rust.
Often it is. Metal panels can have many years left even when fasteners and sealant need attention. Darrell will tell you honestly whether a repair or replacement makes more sense.
