Why Your Metal Roof Needs Protection in North Dakota
If you're a homeowner in North Dakota or the Bakken region, you know our weather doesn't play nice with buildings. From punishing hailstorms to powerful winds and temperature swings that would make anyone dizzy, your metal roof takes a beating year-round.
At B & C Northern Construction, we've seen firsthand how the right coating can extend your metal roof's life by decades—and how the wrong choice (or no coating at all) can lead to costly repairs down the road.
The Top Metal Roof Coatings for North Dakota's Climate
Acrylic Coatings: Affordable Protection
Acrylic coatings have become a popular choice for many of our senior homeowners looking for a balance of quality and value. These water-based solutions offer:
- UV resistance to prevent fading and deterioration
- Temperature regulation that can reduce cooling costs
- Flexibility to handle our extreme temperature fluctuations
- Easy application and maintenance
While not the most durable option for severe hail areas, acrylics provide excellent protection for the price point, especially for homes in less exposed locations.
Silicone Coatings: Superior Waterproofing
When it comes to keeping water out, nothing beats silicone. These coatings create a seamless membrane that:
- Prevents leaks even during our heaviest downpours
- Resists ponding water without degrading
- Maintains flexibility in both summer heat and winter cold
- Requires minimal maintenance over its lifespan
For homes in areas prone to heavy precipitation or where roof drainage isn't ideal, silicone provides peace of mind that's hard to match.
Polyurethane Coatings: Maximum Durability
For homeowners wanting the ultimate protection against North Dakota's hail and wind, polyurethane coatings deliver unmatched durability:
- Superior impact resistance against hailstorms
- Excellent adhesion that stands up to high winds
- Abrasion resistance that handles debris and foot traffic
- Long-term protection that often outlasts other options
While typically more expensive upfront, the extended protection often makes polyurethane pay for itself over time.
Signs Your Metal Roof Needs Coating
Not sure if it's time to consider a coating? Look for these warning signs:
- Visible rust spots or corrosion along seams
- Fading color or chalky residue when touched
- Minor leaks beginning to develop
- Increased energy bills from lost reflectivity
- Age – metal roofs over 10 years old often benefit from coating
