A failing metal roof can lead to leaks, rust, and costly disruption — but when designed and installed correctly, a metal system can protect your building for decades.

When It’s Time to Replace or Retrofit a Metal Roof
Some metal roofs can be effectively repaired. Others have reached the point where ongoing patches are throwing good money after bad. We’ll help you tell the difference.
Common signs it may be time for metal roof replacement or retrofit:
Recurring leaks at seams, fasteners, or penetrations
Widespread rust, corrosion, or panel deterioration
Noticeable loose, backed-out, or missing fasteners
Persistent leaks even after multiple repair attempts
Significant hail damage, dents, or deformation
Roof is near or past its expected service life
High energy bills due to outdated, non-reflective surfaces
If you’re seeing these issues, it’s time for a thorough evaluation. We’ll inspect your existing system and let you know if a refined repair plan, full replacement, or metal retrofit is the best long-term option.
Metal Retrofit Systems for Aging Metal Roofs
If time has caught up with your metal roof — loose seams, rust, recurring leaks, interior drips — you don’t always need to tear everything off and start over. A metal retrofit system lets us install a new, single-ply roof right over your existing metal deck, creating a long-term solution without the cost, disruption, and risk of a full metal tear-off.
Instead of chasing leaks with temporary patches or coatings, we convert your problem metal roof into a fully insulated, single-ply system designed to handle temperature swings, expansion and contraction, and ponding water much more effectively.
Key advantages of a metal retrofit:
No full tear-off in most cases – Reduces cost, risk, and exposure of your building interior.
Minimal disruption to operations – No heavy demolition equipment, fewer safety concerns, and you can typically remain open during installation.
Flexible membrane moves with the building – The single-ply system expands and contracts with temperature changes, greatly reducing future seam and fastener problems.
Improved energy efficiency – Added insulation and a highly reflective white membrane help control interior temperatures and may qualify for local energy incentives.
Strong manufacturer warranties – NDL-style warranties with no ponding water exclusion and coverage for consequential damage, backed by Royalty’s own workmanship warranty and robust liability coverage.
How a Metal Retrofit Works
Over-Deck Installation
The new retrofit roofing system is installed directly over the existing metal deck — no full tear-off required in most cases.
Fill the Metal Flutes with Insulation
Rigid insulation is cut and placed into the metal roof flutes to create a solid base and improve the roof’s thermal performance.
Add a Second Insulation Layer
A continuous insulation layer is installed over the flute fill to create a flat surface and further increase R-value.
Install the Single-Ply Membrane
A prefabricated single-ply membrane (custom-manufactured to your roof’s layout) is mechanically fastened over the insulation. Because much of the seaming is factory-welded, on-site welding is reduced and quality is more consistent.
Heat-Welded Flashings & Details
Prefabricated flashings for stacks, curbs, and other penetrations are heat-welded on-site to form a monolithic, watertight covering, eliminating many of the seam and fastener problems that plague older metal roofs.

Can you retrofit a new metal roof over my existing roof?
In many cases, yes. If the structure and existing system are suitable, a metal retrofit can be a cost-effective way to get a new code-compliant metal roof without a full tear-off.
How long does a metal roof replacement or retrofit take?
Project timelines vary by size and complexity, but most commercial metal projects take a few weeks. We’ll give you a realistic schedule and plan work to minimize disruption.
Can you repair my existing metal roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. We repair metal roofs by addressing fasteners, seams, flashing, and localized damage. If we find that your roof is at the end of its life, we’ll explain why and outline replacement or retrofit options.
Do you help with hail and storm damage claims on metal roofs?
Yes. We provide inspections, documentation, and scopes of work for storm-damaged metal roofs and can coordinate with adjusters as needed.
