The finish on a metal roof is like that of your vehicle, it is the primary element that protects the steel substrate which ultimately protects the inside components. Regular vehicle maintenance such as "washing and waxing" and "checking under the hood" to prolong the service life, is just as applicable to your metal roof.
"Washing"
Routine washing of your metal roof will ensure roof cleanliness and prevent debris and dirt build up. Dirt removal will eliminate moss, decelerate surface coating breakdown and prevent water damning. Another benefit of a metal roof wash is the restoration of the natural colour.
"Waxing"
A top coat re-application to your metal roof will restore beauty, increase the service life and adds value to your life investment. 
"Check Under The Hood"
A qualified metal roofing contractor should inspect your metal roof frequently. This practice is similar to that of your 30,000/ 60,000/ 90,000 Km vehicle check ups. Premature metal roof failure can be detected and corrected at minimal costs. These areas include cracked caulking, surface deterioration, improper flashing installations, debris damming and metal corrosion.
Frequency
The frequency of a metal roof wash, topcoat re-application and/or inspection will vary throughout the country depending on building location and design. A regular inspection every seven years will determine your metal roof performance and ensure that your metal roof will not only perform for a lifetime, but also remain aesthetically pleasing.
Inspections
Metal Coverings offers inspections and reports for damaged metal roofing. A detailed report with photos address issues such as: hail damage, improper installation, coating issues, metal durability, inadequate ventilation, and wind damages. These are beneficial in insurance claims, warranty complaints/concerns and for self-awareness.
