TOPIC: I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question

NEW ROOF DAMAGED WITH MARKS AND SCRATCHES

Return to I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question

Return to Forum

Our builder had to do some damp proofing snagging which entailed the builders going on a brand new corrugated metal roof. There now appear to be dirty marks and scratches all over it which don’t wash off with heavy rains. Some of the scratches show silver metal underneath. They clearly used no protection with ladders, etc. I am concerned roof is now compromised. Can it be cleaned and resealed or
Should panels be replaced?

You could try some touch-up paint sparingly. Certainly this damage could be bad enough to be a problem down the road. I really don't know for sure of course. Send me photos if you wish ... [email protected]
