Coating Maintenance for Metal Commercial Roofs in Texas

Proper maintenance of commercial roof coatings is essential for maximizing their lifespan and maintaining peak energy-saving performance. In Texas's harsh climate, a well-maintained coating system can last 20+ years while delivering consistent energy savings.

Why Maintenance Matters

Commercial roof coatings face constant challenges that can impact their performance:

• UV radiation from intense Texas sun
• Thermal cycling from hot days and cool nights
• Hail and severe weather events
• Dirt and debris accumulation
• Foot traffic from maintenance personnel

Annual Inspection Checklist

Professional annual inspections should include:

• Overall coating condition assessment
• Check for cracks, chips, or worn areas
• Inspect flashing and penetration sealing
• Evaluate drainage and ponding water issues
• Document coating thickness measurements
• Photo documentation of any problem areas

Regular Cleaning Protocol

Keeping coatings clean maintains their reflective properties:

1. Remove loose debris with soft brush or blower
2. Wash with mild detergent and water
3. Use low-pressure spray to avoid coating damage
4. Allow complete drying before foot traffic
5. Schedule cleaning 2-3 times per year minimum
