Refinishing of Metal/Steel Roofs on Factories, Plants & Warehouse Buildings

At Induspray, we specialize in metal roof refinishing solutions that restore, protect, and enhance the performance of your building’s roofing system. Whether your roof is faded, rusting, or losing energy efficiency, our expert refinishing process renews its appearance and strengthens its defense against weather damage—without the need for full replacement.

What is Metal Roof Refinishing?

Metal roof refinishing is a multi-step process that involves cleaning, restoring, priming, and recoating your building’s metal roofing panels. It is ideal for buildings with:

  • Rust patches or flaking paint
  • Faded or chalky coating surfaces
  • Water ingress or corrosion risk
  • Aging roofs that remain structurally sound

Refinishing reinforces your existing roof system, providing both aesthetic renewal and functional protection.

Benefits of Professional Metal Roof Coating & Painting

Choosing professional refinishing over full roof replacement can offer several key advantages:

  • Cost Savings: Avoid expensive tear-offs and installation labor
  • Enhanced Curb Appeal: Achieve a uniform, vibrant finish
  • Improved Energy Efficiency: Use reflective coatings to reduce cooling loads
  • Corrosion Protection: Specialized primers and coatings halt the spread of rust
  • Faster project completion so less disruption for you or your tenants

Metal Roof Coatings Tailored to Your Needs

We offer a range of premium coatings for metal roofs:

  • Acrylic Elastomeric Coatings: UV-resistant and highly flexible
  • Polyurethane Systems: Superior resistance to impact and abrasion
  • Cool Roof Coatings: Reflect solar radiation and improve indoor comfort

All coatings are backed by manufacturer warranties and designed to handle Ontario’s variable climate.

You have a very important investment in the contents of your factory, plant or large building. Whether you own that facility, have the responsibility for maintaining it, or both, it represents a vital element for your business and profits, as well as representing a liability if neglected. Protecting that investment is your roof, which attracts little attention until it leaks.

Roofing Failure Modes

Working tirelessly and quietly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for many years, your industrial or commercial roof is exposed to the elements, weather, sun, airborne pollution, rain, etc. — all of which take their toll on its metal surface and normally resulting in corrosion. Regardless of whether your roof comes with a factory finish or is bare galvanized steel, the effects of corrosion will cause the roof fasteners to corrode and allow entry for water into your structure if given enough time. Corrosion will also wear through the sheet steel, causing it to become very weak, perforated, to leak, and eventually need replacement.

The results of the steel wearing out include costly damages to equipment, inventory, operations, shutdowns, safety hazards, and costly ongoing maintenance. Finding and spot-fixing a leaking roof can be a very difficult process, since water can enter at one spot, follow the top of a structural beam hidden from view, and then show up in a completely different location of the building as leaking water. Such a crisis can be avoided through a professional roof inspection that will help you in planning and budgeting for your long term roofing needs.

Roof Sealing & Refinishing

Induspray has been painting industrial and commercial facilities for over 40 years, including the remediation and protecting of our clients’ roofing investments. Utilizing systems that are designed to encapsulate the roof and stop damaging corrosion, we can extend the life of your roof for years to come.

Offering a no-cost inspection with detailed findings, we recommend the best-value solutions for your needs and budgetary constraints. You will always be aware of all your alternatives, and thus be empowered to make an educated decision on what system to go with. Our best client is our most knowledgeable client.

What options are available for customers with a deteriorating roof? If a roof is experiencing signs of visible corrosion but no leaks, it can be treated with a direct-to-rust epoxy primer to stop the corrosion (the epoxy catalyzes in the rust, stopping the corrosion and preventing air and water from reestablishing corrosion), and finish coated with a durable urethane for long term aesthetic performance.

If the roof is leaking, a good choice is an elastomeric roof coating system designed to encapsulate the roof, bridging all gaps and seams to act as a wrapping system for the roof. Elastomerics have great elongation and provide excellent waterproofing performance when combined with sealing the seams and entry points of the roof with the appropriate accompanying systems.

At a small fraction of the cost of replacement, these types of restoration systems are selected by owners as an effective and cost-efficient alternative to complete replacement. Low pitched roofs tend to get more sun exposure and accumulate more dirt. On buildings where snow falls, if the roof is left unclean, as ice and snow slide down the roof, this surface dirt under the ice and snow can act like sandpaper, removing the protective factory paint finish and leaving the roof with little or no film of paint for corrosion control.

FAQs on Metal Roof Painting/Refinishing

The best paint for a metal roof is a high-performance acrylic or polyurethane coating designed specifically for metal surfaces. Induspray uses industrial-grade metal roof coatings that provide excellent UV resistance, waterproofing, and long-term durability.

When professionally applied, metal roof paint can last 20 years + depending on the coating system, roof condition, and environmental exposure. Induspray uses premium coatings that are engineered for longevity, reducing the need for frequent repainting.

Proper surface preparation is essential for long-lasting results. This includes:

  • Cleaning the roof to remove dirt, rust, and old paint
  • Pressure washing or power scrubbing
  • Rust treatment or neutralization
  • Applying a compatible primer, if needed

Induspray uses advanced surface prep techniques to ensure optimal adhesion and finish quality.

Yes, painting a metal roof is a cost-effective way to extend its life, improve energy efficiency, and enhance the building’s appearance. It also protects the roof from corrosion and UV damage. Induspray specializes in commercial and industrial metal roof refinishing for long-lasting protection and performance.

Metal roofs do not need to be painted frequently when high-quality coatings are used. A professionally painted metal roof may only need refinishing every 20 years, depending on wear, exposure, and maintenance. Induspray ensures long-term results with top-tier coating systems.

For rusty metal roofs, it’s crucial to use a rust-inhibiting primer followed by a durable, elastomeric or urethane topcoat. Induspray treats and stabilizes rust before applying industrial coatings that seal the surface and prevent further corrosion.

Yes. Induspray offers solar-reflective and energy-efficient roof coatings that reduce heat absorption, help lower cooling costs, and improve interior comfort in commercial and industrial facilities.

Induspray recommends light, reflective colors like white, beige, or light gray to help reflect sunlight and minimize heat buildup. Our energy-efficient coatings are designed to reduce thermal transfer, which is ideal for facilities exposed to direct sunlight.

The cost to coat a metal roof can vary depending on several factors, including the type of coating, roof condition, surface preparation needs, and project size. For an accurate estimate tailored to your specific requirements, please contact Induspray for a detailed price quote.
