Catching Problems Before They Become Repairs

Residential Roof Installation in Ben Wheeler, Texas

A metal roof in Ben Wheeler is built to last decades, but even the most durable systems benefit from routine inspections that catch small issues before they turn into leaks or structural damage. Custom Metal Roofing provides metal roof maintenance services designed to keep your system performing through East Texas heat, storms, and seasonal temperature swings.


Maintenance includes inspecting seams, fasteners, flashing, and panels for signs of wear, corrosion, or movement. The team also checks for debris buildup in valleys, loose fasteners around penetrations, and sealant that's cracked or pulling away. These small issues are easy to fix during a maintenance visit but can lead to costly repairs if ignored.


If your metal roof in Ben Wheeler hasn't been inspected in the last year or two, contact Custom Metal Roofing to schedule a maintenance visit.

What Gets Checked and What Gets Fixed

During a maintenance visit, the crew walks your roof and inspects every seam, panel edge, and flashing joint. In Ben Wheeler, where summer heat expands metal and winter cold contracts it, fasteners can loosen over time and sealant can crack along ridges and valleys. The inspection also looks for tree branches, leaves, or dirt that trap moisture against the metal.


After the maintenance is complete, you'll have a roof that's free of debris, with tight fasteners, sealed seams, and flashing that directs water away from penetrations. Small issues are corrected on the spot, and you'll know exactly what to monitor before the next inspection.


Custom Metal Roofing has 11 years of experience maintaining residential metal roofing systems and works as a fully licensed and insured contractor. The maintenance-first approach helps avoid insurance claims by keeping your roof in good condition year after year.

Questions That Come Up About Ongoing Care

Homeowners typically want to know how often to schedule maintenance, what it costs compared to repairs, and whether it's really necessary.

How often should a metal roof be inspected?
Most metal roofs should be inspected once every one to two years, or after a major storm. Regular inspections catch fastener issues, sealant wear, and debris buildup before they cause leaks.
What are the most common issues found during maintenance?
Loose fasteners around vents and chimneys, cracked sealant along ridges, and debris trapped in valleys are the most common issues. All are easy to fix during a maintenance visit but can lead to leaks if left alone.
Why does sealant crack on metal roofs?
Sealant expands and contracts with temperature changes, and over time it loses flexibility and cracks. UV exposure from the Texas sun also breaks down sealant faster than in cooler climates.
What happens if a problem is found during maintenance?
Small issues like loose fasteners or minor sealant cracks are fixed on the spot. Larger problems are documented, explained, and scheduled for a follow-up repair visit if needed.
Does maintenance really prevent bigger repairs?
Yes, catching a loose fastener or cracked sealant during maintenance prevents water from entering the roof deck and causing rot or leaks. Maintenance extends the life of your roof and keeps repair costs low.

If you want to keep your metal roof in Ben Wheeler performing at its best, Custom Metal Roofing can schedule a routine maintenance visit and address any issues before they turn into bigger problems.
