Commercial Metal Roof Repair
Shops and barns with exposed-fastener steel roofs get fasteners, laps, and eave closures repaired, along with the transition to any flat addition.

Pima Commercial Roof Repair
Pima commercial roof repair for farm and commercial buildings on the west end of the Gila Valley. We repair metal roofs, flat additions, and the joints where they meet.
Where A Metal Building Meets A Flat Addition
Many Pima properties grew one addition at a time, so one building can carry two roof types.
A steel shop with a low-slope office or storage addition has a joint where panel meets membrane. That transition flashing moves with the steel every hot afternoon and cold night, and it is where many Pima leaks begin.
Gutters on the taller metal roof often empty straight onto the flat addition below, so that membrane carries far more water than its size suggests.
- Transition flashing between panel and membrane rebuilt
- Gutter outlets redirected off the lower roof
- Splash pads or extensions where runoff lands
- End laps on the metal side resealed
Pima Commercial Roof Repair Signs
Mixed buildings send mixed signals. These four come up on Pima properties.
In The Building
Stain Where Two Buildings Join
Water marks show up along the wall or ceiling where the newer addition meets the original shop.
On The Roof
Transition flashing between the metal panels and the flat membrane has torn or pulled loose. We rebuild it with a flexible flashing that tolerates the movement.
In The Building
Flooding On The Lower Roof
Under the flat addition the ceiling leaks during heavy storms, while the shop next door stays dry.
On The Roof
The metal roof's gutter dumps onto the addition and overloads its drain. We reroute the downspout and repair the membrane where the water has been landing.
In The Building
Rust Lines On Shop Walls
Orange streaks run down the inside walls of an older metal shop from the eave or the panel laps.
On The Roof
End laps and eave closures have failed at the low side. We reseal the laps, replace the closures, and treat the rust before it spreads.
In The Building
Muddy Drip Marks After Storms
Drips in a farm building leave muddy spots, a sign that field dust packed the gutter or scupper above.
On The Roof
Field and gin dust packs gutters and scuppers. We clear them, repair split gutter seams, and check the roof surface beneath for wear.
Benefits Of Repairing Your Pima Roof
Fixing the joint and the runoff path usually stops a mixed-building leak without replacing either roof.
| Joint And Runoff Repair | Replacing One Roof | |
|---|---|---|
| What gets fixed | Transition flashing, gutters, and laps | The whole metal or flat section |
| The other roof | Left in service | Tied in again at the new edge |
| Runoff | Rerouted off the lower roof | Still lands there unless rerouted |
| Disruption | Short work at the joint | Longer work over one building |
| Best when | Both roofs are solid away from the joint | One roof has failed across its area |

Industrial roof repair for Pima ag buildingsLeak Where Two Roofs Meet?
Call with a description of the buildings and which side leaks. The joint between an old roof and a new one is one of the first places we check.
How A Pima Repair Runs
Both roofs get checked, because the leak often starts on one and shows up under the other.
Inspect Your Roof
Both roof types get walked: the metal panels, the flat addition, the joint between them, and where every gutter and downspout empties.
Follow The Runoff
We trace where water from the taller roof lands, since an overloaded lower roof often leaks far from the joint itself.
Rebuild The Transition
The flashing between panel and membrane is replaced with a flexible detail that moves as the steel expands and shrinks.
Fix Both Sides
Metal laps and fasteners near the joint get resealed, and the flat roof seams and drain get repaired where runoff hit them.
Redirect The Water
Downspouts are extended or rerouted off the addition, and you get photos of each change before we leave.

Pima Roof Repair Questions
Mixed buildings, farm roofs, and permits in Pima.
Asked Most
What Roof Problems Hit Ag And Mining-Support Buildings?
Dust, vibration, and exhaust residue cause most of them. Cotton gins, feed operations, and shops supporting copper mining collect fine debris that clogs gutters and scuppers and holds moisture against metal.
Machinery vibration loosens fasteners and cracks curb flashing, and oily residue from vents softens some membranes, so we check the surface downwind of every stack.
Who Handles Roof Permits In Pima?
The Town of Pima, through its Planning and Zoning office. Call them before work that changes decking, parapets, or rooftop unit curbs, and we note anything in the repair plan they should hear about.
Why Does The Joint Between Two Roofs Keep Leaking?
The metal building and the flat addition move differently in heat and cold. Rigid flashing or caulk at the joint cracks under that movement. A flexible transition detail lasts longer.
Should Gutters Drain Onto A Lower Roof?
It is better to avoid it. Water from a large metal roof can overload a small flat roof drain and wear the membrane where it lands. Extending the downspout to the ground or a separate drain fixes it.
Can You Repair A Barn Or Equipment Shed Roof?
Yes, on commercial and farm buildings. Barns and equipment sheds with metal roofs get the same fastener, lap, and rust repairs as any shop roof.
Do Dusty Farm Roofs Need Cleaning Before Repair?
Yes, at the repair area. Field and gin dust keeps sealant and tape from bonding, so the laps and seams being repaired get cleaned first.
Can You Schedule Around Harvest?
Yes. Tell us your busy weeks, and non-urgent repairs on ag buildings get planned before or after them. A leak over stored crops or equipment gets handled sooner.
