Metal Roof Repair in San Diego
Leaks, storm damage, failed fasteners and flashing, fixed to last instead of patched.
Repair · San DiegoMetal Roof Repair in San Diego County
Not every roof needs replacing. When a metal roof leaks or takes damage, the cause is usually a detail: a failed fastener, worn or lifted flashing, a penetration that was never sealed correctly, or storm damage to a panel. We find the actual source rather than smearing sealant over the symptom, and we fabricate custom flashing in the exact profile and color of your roof so the repair disappears into the existing line.
Older exposed-fastener metal roofs are the most common repair we see, where screws have backed out and the rubber gaskets have failed across the whole roof. We can re-fasten and re-seal those systems to buy them years of life. When a roof is genuinely past saving we will tell you honestly and price a replacement instead, but either way you get a clear assessment first, not a sales pitch.

We find the real source
Most metal roof leaks trace to a fastener, a flashing detail or an unsealed penetration, not the panels themselves. We diagnose the actual cause and fix that, so the leak stays fixed instead of returning the next time it rains.
Custom flashing, color-matched
We fabricate flashing in the exact profile and finish of your roof, so a repair blends into the existing line rather than standing out as a patch. The same in-house metalwork that goes into a new roof goes into a repair.
An honest repair-or-replace call
If your roof can be saved we save it. If it is past the point where a repair makes sense, we will tell you plainly and quote a replacement instead. You get a straight assessment before any work or any commitment.

— SW Metal Roofing, San Diego CountyMetal Roof Repair questions, answered
What causes a metal roof to leak?
On a metal roof the leak is almost always a detail rather than the panels: a fastener that has backed out, worn or lifted flashing, a roof penetration that was never sealed correctly, or storm damage. Exposed-fastener roofs are the most common culprit, because the screws loosen and their rubber gaskets fail over time. We trace the actual source and repair that, rather than coating over the symptom.
Can you repair an old exposed-fastener metal roof?
Yes. Exposed-fastener roofs are the most common repair we handle. When the screws have backed out and the gaskets have failed across the roof, we can re-fasten and re-seal the system to add years of service life. If the roof is too far gone for a repair to be worthwhile, we will tell you honestly and price a replacement instead.
Should I repair or replace my metal roof?
It depends on the age and condition of the roof. A localized leak, a damaged panel or failed flashing is usually a straightforward repair. A roof with widespread fastener and gasket failure, corrosion or storm damage across the whole surface is often better replaced. We give you a clear, honest assessment first so you can decide with the real picture in front of you.
Do you repair metal roofs installed by another contractor?
Yes. We repair metal roofs regardless of who installed them, including older exposed-fastener systems and work left unfinished or poorly detailed by another company. We assess the roof, find the real source of the problem and fix it properly, and we will tell you up front whether a repair or a replacement is the smarter spend.
How much does a metal roof repair cost?
Repair cost depends entirely on the problem, from a single flashing or fastener fix to re-sealing an entire exposed-fastener roof. Because the right fix varies so much, we assess the roof in person first, identify the actual source of the leak or damage, and give you a clear price before any work begins. There is no charge for the assessment.
