Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Annual visual inspections from the ground are sufficient for most homeowners—you’re looking for any loose fasteners, damaged panels, or debris accumulation in gutters.
Suffolk County’s salt air environment means occasional cleaning may be beneficial, especially if you’re close to the coast. A simple rinse with a garden hose removes salt buildup and keeps the finish looking fresh. Avoid pressure washing, which can damage protective coatings.
Professional inspections every 3-5 years ensure everything stays in optimal condition. We check fasteners, sealants, and flashing during these visits. Most metal roofs go decades without needing any repairs, but catching small issues early prevent larger problems.
