The Advantages of Painting Metal Roofs Using Asphalt Aluminum
Protecting metal roofs on barns, grain silos, and farm buildings in Ohio’s unpredictable climate requires durable, weather-resistant coatings.
At Kerrigan Painting & Power Washing, we specialize in asphalt aluminum roof coatings that extend the life of your agricultural and industrial metal roofs while enhancing their appearance. With over 65 years of experience, we are the trusted choice for farm building painting and agricultural painting across Southwest Ohio.
Why Choose Asphalt Aluminum Coatings for Metal Roofs?
Weatherproof Protection
Ohio’s climate brings heavy rain, snow, and extreme freeze-thaw cycles, which can cause serious damage to metal roofs. Our asphalt aluminum coatings create a waterproof barrier, preventing leaks and structural damage while keeping your farm buildings protected year-round.
Rust Prevention
High humidity and moisture in Ohio can accelerate rust and corrosion on metal roofs. Our specialized coatings act as a protective seal, preserving the integrity of your roof and preventing costly deterioration.
Durability and Flexibility
With Ohio’s hot summers and freezing winters, metal roofs expand and contract, leading to cracking and peeling in inferior coatings. Our asphalt aluminum coatings are flexible, moving with the roof to provide long-lasting, crack-resistant protection.
Energy Efficiency and UV Reflection
Aluminum roof coatings reflect up to 65% of the sun’s UV rays, helping to reduce surface temperatures. This keeps barns, livestock shelters, and agricultural buildings cooler, improving comfort while reducing energy costs.
Enhanced Appearance
A freshly coated metal roof restores a clean, uniform look to farm buildings, improving property value and curb appeal. Whether it's a barn, grain bin, or storage building, a new coating makes your structures look well-maintained and professional.
Cost-Effective Metal Roof Protection
Our asphalt aluminum coatings provide an affordable, long-term solution to prevent rust, leaks, and UV damage, reducing ongoing maintenance and repair costs.

How Do We Properly Prepare Your Metal Roof For Painting?
Proper preparation is the key to ensuring that a metal roof painting project not only looks great but also lasts for years to come. At Kerrigan Painting & Power Washing, we follow a meticulous process to prepare metal roofing surfaces before applying any paint, ensuring optimal adhesion, durability, and protection from the elements. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how we prepare your metal roof for painting:
1. Thorough Roof Inspection
Before any work begins, we conduct a comprehensive inspection of the metal roof. This allows us to identify any potential issues, such as visible rust, obvious leaks, or structural damage, that need to be addressed before painting. We also check for loose or missing fasteners and signs of wear in areas such as seams and joints.
2. Cleaning and Surface Preparation
For any paint to adhere properly, the surface must be completely clean. We begin by using professional-grade pressure washers to remove dirt, grime, moss, mildew, bird droppings, and any other debris that has accumulated on the roof. If there’s any surface rust, we can use wire brushes, or sandblasting to remove it, ensuring that we’re working with a clean and stable surface. This step is important for preventing further rust and corrosion under the new layer of paint.
3. Rust Treatment and Primer Application
If heavy rust is present, we treat the affected areas with a rust converter or inhibitor to stop corrosion in its tracks. This process neutralizes rust and prevents it from spreading. Once treated, we apply a high-quality rust-inhibiting primer designed to bond with the metal surface. This ensures that the topcoat will adhere properly and provides an extra layer of protection against future rusting.
4. Tightening and Replacing Fasteners
Loose or missing fasteners can compromise the roof’s structural integrity and lead to leaks. During our inspection, we identify any fasteners that need to be tightened or replaced. We secure all loose fasteners and replace any missing or corroded ones, ensuring that the roof is structurally sound and ready for coating.
5. Caulking and Sealing
We apply high-grade caulk to all seams, joints, and areas where panels meet or overlap to create a watertight seal. This prevents moisture from seeping under the roof panels and causing further corrosion or leaks. We also seal around any vents, chimneys, or other roof penetrations to ensure complete protection.
6. Patching and Flashing Repairs
If there are any damaged areas on the roof, such as holes, cracks, or weak spots, we perform necessary repairs by patching the affected areas with appropriate materials. We also inspect and repair flashing around the roof’s edges, chimneys, and skylights to ensure that water doesn’t infiltrate these vulnerable points. Proper flashing is critical to preventing leaks and protecting the roof’s edges.
7. Final Surface Preparation
After all repairs and sealing are complete, we perform a final cleaning to remove any dust, debris, or rust particles that may have been generated during the preparation process. We ensure the surface is completely dry and free of contaminants before moving on to the paint application.
8. Ready for Coating
With the roof properly cleaned, repaired, sealed, and primed, it’s now ready for the application of high-quality asphalt aluminum or other specialized metal roof coatings. Our preparation process ensures the new coating adheres smoothly and provides long-lasting protection, withstanding Ohio's harsh weather conditions for years to come.

Do You Have Questions About Metal Roof Painting?
Signs that your metal roof needs painting include visible rust, fading or chalking paint, peeling or flaking coatings, and leaks. If your roof looks worn or is showing signs of corrosion, it’s time to consider painting to protect it from further damage.
The duration of the project depends on the size of the roof, the condition of the surface, and the weather. On average, painting a metal roof can take 1-3 days, including surface preparation, repairs, and coating application. For larger roofs or more extensive preparation, the timeline may be longer.
We use high-quality, rust-resistant metal roofing fasteners with rubber gaskets when replacing any missing or corroded fasteners on your metal roof. This ensures that the roof remains secure and resistant to future rust and weathering.
No, we don’t replace corroded roof panels ourselves, but we can refer you to a trusted roofing company that specializes in metal roof repairs and panel replacements. We’ll work closely with them to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Yes, during our roof preparation process, we will seal and patch minor leaks, apply caulking around seams, and secure fasteners to prevent future leaks. However, if there are major structural issues, we may recommend a specialized roofing contractor.
Roof painting typically refers to applying a layer of paint for aesthetic purposes and basic protection. Roof coating, on the other hand, involves applying specialized coatings that offer additional protection from corrosion, UV rays, and weather damage. Asphalt aluminum coatings, for example, provide both waterproofing and rust prevention, along with high reflectivity to reduce heat.
Asphalt aluminum coatings combine the protective qualities of asphalt with the reflectivity and durability of aluminum flakes. Unlike standard roof coatings, which may only provide basic waterproofing, asphalt aluminum helps to prevent rust and reflects up to 65% of UV rays. This reduces surface temperatures and helps improve energy efficiency for the building.
Asphalt aluminum coatings provide superior rust protection, help reduce roof surface temperatures by reflecting sunlight, and extend the life of your metal roof. It’s particularly useful for agricultural buildings or industrial facilities where temperature control is important.
Safety is our top priority. We use appropriate fall protection, including safety harnesses, guardrails, and anchored lifelines. We also ensure that our crew members are trained in roof safety protocols and that all equipment is properly maintained to prevent accidents.
Yes! Applying a reflective coating, such as asphalt aluminum, can reduce roof surface temperatures by reflecting the sun’s UV rays. This helps keep the building cooler, reducing energy consumption and creating a more comfortable environment inside.
Depending on the type of coating and the environmental conditions, metal roofs generally need to be repainted or recoated every 7-15 years. With high-quality coatings like asphalt aluminum and proper maintenance, you can extend the life of the roof and delay the need for future repainting.
Absolutely. Not only will a fresh coat of paint or coating protect your roof, but it will also give it a uniform, “like-new” appearance, improving the overall aesthetics of your building.
Minimal maintenance is required after a new coating is applied. Regular inspections to check for debris, standing water, and damage from weather or animals will help ensure that the coating remains intact and effective for years to come.
