Metal Roof Repair in Greensboro, NC
Metal roofs are built to last 40, 50, sometimes 70 years — but only when they're maintained and repaired correctly. When a panel starts leaking, a seam works loose, or fasteners back out after a hard North Carolina summer, the difference between a $400 repair and a $15,000 replacement comes down to catching the problem early and fixing it the right way. At Arthur's Roofing, we've been repairing metal roofs across the Triad for more than 30 years, and we know exactly where these systems fail and how to make them watertight again.
What Metal Roof Repair Actually Involves
Metal roofing fails differently than asphalt shingles, and it needs a contractor who understands the material. A shingle roof wears out from the surface down. A metal roof, by contrast, almost always fails at its transitions and connections — the places where panels meet, where fasteners penetrate, and where the roof ties into walls, chimneys, and vents.
Proper metal roof repair addresses the real culprits: failed sealant at seams and end laps, loose or stripped fasteners, oxidized or damaged panels, separated ridge caps, and worn-out pipe boots and flashing. It also means using compatible materials. One of the most common mistakes we correct is galvanic corrosion — where a previous "handyman" repair used steel fasteners on an aluminum roof, or slapped incompatible sealant over a coating it was never designed to bond to. Within a couple of seasons, those quick fixes create bigger leaks than the ones they were meant to solve.
A real repair matches the metal, uses roofing-grade butyl or polyurethane sealants rated for thermal movement, and respects the fact that a metal roof expands and contracts every single day. We repair it so it moves the way it's supposed to — not so it's rigidly caulked into a future failure.
Signs You Need Metal Roof Repair
Metal roofs are stubborn about showing their age, which is part of what makes them great — and part of what makes small problems sneak up on homeowners. Here's what to watch for:
- Water stains on ceilings or in the attic. By the time you see a stain inside, water has usually been traveling along a panel or purlin for a while. Don't wait.
- Backed-out or missing fasteners. Exposed-fastener metal roofs use rubber washers under each screw. Those washers dry out and crack around the 15–20 year mark, and screws loosen with thermal cycling. If you can see silver screw heads standing proud of the panel, they're no longer sealing.
- Rust, streaking, or chalky white residue. Surface rust at panel edges, scratches, or cut lines means the protective coating has been compromised. Caught early, it's a repair and recoat. Ignored, it becomes a hole.
- Loose or lifted seams and ridge caps. Standing-seam roofs can un-clip; ridge caps can lift in high wind. Both are common leak points after our summer storms.
- Failed flashing and pipe boots. The rubber boots around plumbing vents are usually the first thing to fail — often within 10–15 years, well before the panels themselves.
- Denting or damage after a storm. Hail and fallen limbs can crack coatings and puncture panels, sometimes in ways that aren't visible from the ground.
If you're seeing any of these, a professional inspection now is far cheaper than tearing out drywall and insulation later.
Our Repair Process
Thirty years of doing this the right way has taught us that a lasting repair starts with an honest diagnosis, not a guess.
1. Thorough inspection. We get on the roof and inspect every seam, fastener line, penetration, and flashing detail. We trace leaks back to their true source — which is frequently uphill from where the water shows up inside.
2. Straight-talk assessment. You get a clear explanation of what's failing, what's still sound, and whether repair or replacement is the smarter investment. If your roof has 20 good years left, we'll tell you that. If it's past the point where repairs make financial sense, we'll tell you that too.
3. Material-matched repair. We source the correct panel profile, gauge, and finish when replacement sections are needed, and we use fasteners and sealants engineered for your specific system. Compatibility is non-negotiable on our crews.
4. The actual fix. Whether it's re-fastening with oversized gasketed screws, replacing pipe boots, re-sealing end laps, reworking flashing, patching punctures, or swapping damaged panels, we do it to manufacturer standards.
5. Verification and cleanup. We water-test critical repairs where appropriate, walk the finished work with you, and leave your property cleaner than we found it — every nail and metal shaving accounted for with a magnetic sweep.

We are a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster company, a credential held by only a small percentage of roofing contractors nationwide. Earning it requires proven workmanship, verified insurance, ongoing manufacturer training, and a track record of standing behind our work.

We know how these systems behave in our climate, from summer heat cycling to the sideways rain of a Piedmont thunderstorm. We're local, we're licensed and insured, and when you call us, you talk to people who will still be here next year to honor what we promised.
