Parts of the roof loose or blown off
-
- Identify and assess the damaged areas – look for missing panels, sections, or tiles as well as any still partially attached but loose.
- Wearing gloves, carefully remove any remaining loose sections or debris.
- Inspect the roof deck and sheathing for rot or water damage. Replace any damaged decking.
- Cut replacement metal panels to size as needed using tin snips. Match original metal thickness and profile.
- Position the new metal panels in place, aligning any edges with existing panels. Drill pilot holes as needed.
- Using neoprene grommets, fasten the new panels into place with metal roofing screws. Follow manufacturer specs for screw type and spacing.
- Seal and reinforce all seams using metal seam tape, sealant, and additional screws along seams.
- Inspect flashing around vents, pipes, etc. Reseal any as needed with metal roof sealant.
- Consider adding metal wind clips, straps, or brackets for extra wind resistance.
