As an Onawa metal roof coating contractor, we restore steel roofs on farm supply stores, equipment shops, and storage buildings with rusted laps and leaking screws.
Onawa metal roof coating work leans toward agricultural buildings: farm supply stores, equipment shops, seed and feed storage, and steel sheds that see dust, fertilizer, and moisture.
Those conditions are hard on steel. Fertilizer dust and damp feed storage speed rust at laps and screws, so prep on these roofs runs deeper before any coating goes on.
Ag buildings show their own wear on the roof.
Coating lets a farm business keep its buildings working through the season.
Coating happens from the roof, so stock and equipment stay inside while each section is done.
Primer and coating keep moisture and dust off steel that has started to rust.
A white roof keeps summer heat off stored product and the workers below.
Sealed, upsized screws hold up through the wind and temperature swings that come with a busy season.
These systems match the building types we coat in Onawa.
Steel shops and storage buildings with rusty laps get the full metal coating build.

(402) 258-4527Call UsAg buildings get extra prep time. The rest of the order stays the same.
We check rust depth with a scraper and gauge, test laps and screws, and look closely at panels over storage bays.
Roof work gets booked away from your busiest weeks, so loading and pickups at the building keep moving.
Heavy scale comes off with wire wheels and the steel gets washed. Primer goes on bare spots before the end of each work day.
Rusted-through panels, cracked skylights, and loose ridge caps get replaced or refastened before coating.
Screws and laps get sealed, then the field coat goes on to the thickness the system requires.
Our coverage reaches these towns as well. For a building outside them, call us or send us a message.

Alton metal roof coatingWhat Onawa owners ask about coating farm and shop roofs.
Steel shops, farm supply buildings, storage buildings, and metal-roofed stores with surface rust, leaking seams, or loose screws are the usual candidates. We check for rust-through, wet insulation, and eave drainage first. Buildings with failing panels across wide areas get repair or replacement planning before any coating.
It often is when the steel is still firm. Coating costs less than new panels, keeps the building in use, and stops surface rust from spreading. If rust has eaten through much of the roof, replacement makes more sense, and we say so after the roof walk.
We coat commercial and agricultural metal roofs in Onawa and across Siouxland. Call (402) 258-4527 to book a roof walk, or start with a ballpark estimate from your roof size and schedule the walk once you have the range.
Ask how they treat rust, how they handle each fastener, what thickness the coating goes on at, and how they check it. Ask to see photos of the problems they found on your roof. Those answers show whether the prep matches what an ag building needs.
After a thorough wash, yes. Dust and residue have to come off completely so primer can bond. Panels with deep pitting from corrosive storage get a closer check, and the worst sections get replaced before the coating goes on.
Cracked or yellowed fiberglass skylight panels get replaced with new panels in a matching profile, or covered with fabric where the owner would rather give up the daylight. Panels in good shape get their laps sealed and stay clear.
Sections over the sales floor and loading area are scheduled for slower days, and lifts stay out of customer parking. Roof work makes little disturbance below beyond footsteps overhead, so customers and staff carry on as usual.
Send your roof size for a ballpark range, or call to have your shop or storage roof checked.
