Metal roof leaking?Repair didn’t hold?No call back?
You’ve got a ceiling stain after a monsoon rain, a soft spot around a screw, or a leak that came back after the last repair. Water that keeps getting in rots the wood under the screws, and then the screws can’t hold.
El Paso homeowners say the same few things about roofers who left them with a leak. Here are their words, and beside each one is what Lifetime Roofing of El Paso does about it.
“Next rain - the leak grows bigger”
If a leak comes back on our work, we come back and fix it at no charge.
“repatched it”
A seam or lap leak needs the joint opened, cleaned, resealed, and refastened, and that’s the repair our crew makes.
“they didn’t call”
Our phones are answered 24/7, and if the crew is running late, you get a call.
“Never heard from them again”
Daniel Smith, our manager, is your one contact, and your written estimate comes within 48 hours of the inspection.

What callers askabout metal roof repair
How much does metal roof repair cost in El Paso?
It depends on the roof. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso prices each repair after a free inspection. Panel type, how many fasteners or seams need work, matching panels, rust, and rotted wood set the price on your written estimate.
Do all the screws need replacing, or only the bad ones?
It depends on their age. Trade sources put a full re-screw at 10 to 20 years, sooner on hot south and west slopes. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso inspects them for free and tells you which job your roof needs.
Does homeowners insurance cover metal roof repair?
Your policy decides. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso doesn’t need a claim to inspect your metal roof. If you file one, Insurance Claim Documentation means we document the damage and write the estimate, and your insurance company makes the call.
Should a 20 year old metal roof be replaced?
Not always. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso checks the fasteners, seams, panels, and flashings on a 20 year old metal roof. Screws and washers can wear out long before the roof does, and a re-screw is a repair.

Where water getsinto a metal roof
A slow leak can wick into the deck around a screw for years before it shows as a soft spot or a ceiling stain. A repair has to close the spot where the water gets in. Pick a part to see how it fails and how it’s fixed.
Fasteners
Exposed-fastener metal panels are held down by screws you can see from the roof. A leak starts where a washer hardens and cracks, or where heat works a screw hole oval. Driving the same screw back in won’t seal it, so the fix is a larger screw, a moved fastener, or a new panel.
Seams and laps
A lap is where one panel overlaps the next. The butyl tape or sealant in that joint dries out and separates, and the stitch screws holding it together back out. A lasting repair opens the joint, cleans it, reseals it, and refastens it.
Flashings and ridge caps
Flashing is the sheet metal that seals a roof where it meets something else. Ridge caps leak at unsealed end caps, loose fasteners, and worn closure strips. A standing seam roof has its leaks at seams, clips, flashings, and penetrations, so that’s where its repairs go.
Metal panels
A torn panel, or a screw hole too worn for a larger screw, calls for a new panel. Rust and matching the old panel both bear on that repair, so we look at them before we write the estimate.

When a repair beats replacement,what changes the price
Lifetime Roofing of El Paso quotes a repair when a repair will do. You shouldn’t pay for a metal roof replacement over a leak that new screws or a resealed lap can stop.
We quote a repair when
- A cracked washer or an oval screw hole can be fixed with a larger screw or a moved fastener.
- A seam or lap can be opened, cleaned, resealed, and refastened.
- One panel is the problem, and a new panel will close the leak.
The price changes with
- How many fasteners or seams need work.
- Your panel type, and whether a new panel has to match the old ones.
- Rust, and any rotted wood under the screws.
What El Paso, TXweather does to a metal roof
Sun and heat
Heat works screw holes oval, and hot south and west slopes reach re-screw age first.
Wind
Wind damage on metal starts small, with a little loosening at the eaves and ridges, and it spreads from there.
Monsoon
A small opening at a screw, lap, or ridge cap can stay hidden until monsoon rain reaches it.
Hail
Dents are usually cosmetic. Hail does real damage when it tears a panel, opens a seam, cracks a coating, or unseats a fastener.
Weather figures from the National Weather Service in El Paso. Hail and wind notes follow NRCA guidance.
What you getin writing
A metal roof repair comes with two papers: the written estimate before we start and the warranty paper at the end.
Workmanship means how the repair was done, so the warranty call comes to us. It’s lifetime and transferable, so it goes with the roof to the next owner.

More questions aboutyour metal roof
Why does my metal roof leak during heavy rain?
Wind drives the rain in. Wind can force heavy rain under a ridge cap or into an open lap. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso traces the leak to the fastener, seam, panel, or flashing during a free inspection.
What can you spray on a metal roof to keep it from leaking?
Nothing that fixes a failed seam. Coating over a failed seam doesn’t hold. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso opens the joint, cleans it, reseals it, and refastens it, so the seal sits where the leak is.
Can a handyman fix a metal roof?
Legally, yes. Texas has no state roofer license, so anyone can take the job. Ask who carries insurance: Lifetime Roofing of El Paso carries $1M general liability and $2M workers’ comp.
Can I pay for a metal roof repair over time?
Ask about financing. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso offers financing and a 5% military discount. Ask about both when you call (915) 353-3934.
