Roof, Seal and Water Intrusion

Roof Resealing and Seam Maintenance

Roof resealing removes failed sealant from seams, penetrations, and edges, prepares the surface, and applies new sealant appropriate to the roof material. It is preventive maintenance that costs far less than the water damage it avoids.

Symptoms

Signs you need this work

  • Cracked, shrunken or lifted sealant at seams
  • Staining on the interior ceiling
  • Sealant that has become chalky or brittle
  • Any roof accessory installed without visible sealing

Remove the old sealant first

Applying fresh sealant over failed sealant is the most common shortcut and it does not work. The new material bonds to the old, the old is already lifting, and the whole assembly comes away together.

We remove the failed material, clean and prepare the substrate, and apply new sealant matched to the roof material. It takes longer and it is the only version that lasts.

  • Full removal of failed sealant
  • Surface cleaning and preparation
  • Sealant matched to roof material
  • All penetrations, vents and accessory mounts treated
  • Perimeter and seam edge sealing
  • Documented inspection of the whole roof

Commercial damage varies widely, so this is a range rather than a quote. The number for your vehicle comes from assessing the actual damage.

Collision estimates for insurance claim walk-ins carry no charge. Systems estimates are $150 and diagnostics are $285 per hour, both credited against an authorized repair.

FAQ

Roof Resealing and Seam Maintenance questions

Can you just add sealant over the old?
It is a false economy. The new sealant only holds as well as what it is sitting on, and if the old material is lifting the repair fails with it.
How long does resealing take?
Four to twenty labor hours depending on roof size and how much old material has to come off.
Should we reseal preventively?
Yes. It is one of the clearest examples on a commercial body where scheduled maintenance is dramatically cheaper than the failure it prevents.
