Keeping farm and mobile home roofs dry
Check mobile home seams and vents every spring, and recoat when the old coating starts cracking or chalking. On metal barns, look for rusty or loose screws and light coming through at screw holes. Those two checks catch most leaks before they soak insulation or stored feed and equipment. We can look at the home and outbuildings on the same visit.
Mobile home and metal roof care in farm country
Mobile home roofs here face full sun with little shade, which is hard on seams and coatings. Plan on checking the seams and vents every spring and recoating when the old coating starts to crack. On metal barn and shop roofs, the screws are the weak point. Replacing worn screws before they leak is much cheaper than drying out wet feed, hay or equipment. Out here we often work on the home and one or two outbuildings in the same visit, and give you one written price for all of it.
