Self-Storage Facilities: Flat Roof Repair & Replacement
Self-storage facilities around Pittsburgh are mostly long, low buildings with low-slope metal roofs on the drive-up rows and single-ply roofs on the climate-controlled buildings, often converted from older warehouses or retail. The roofs are simple, but there is a lot of them, and nobody is inside to notice a drip until a renter opens their unit and finds wet boxes. Metal roofs leak at fasteners and laps as they age, and gutters along the rows clog. We walk every building, fix fasteners, laps and flashings, clear the gutters, and suggest coatings where a sound metal roof just needs sealing.
What matters on these roofs
Nobody is watching
Units sit closed for months. Regular inspections find leaks before a renter does.
Metal fasteners and laps
Drive-up rows usually have metal roofs that leak at backed-out fasteners and open laps as they age.
Gutters along the rows
Long gutter runs clog and overflow against doors and into units.
Climate-controlled buildings
Single-ply roofs over climate-controlled buildings carry rooftop units whose curbs and flashings need upkeep.
