Cracked Skylight Rows
Rows of fiberglass panels let daylight into shops and storage. After years of sun they crack and pull from their fasteners, and rain comes straight through.
Commercial roof repair in Sahuarita for agricultural and light industrial metal buildings south of Tucson on I-19: fastener rows, laps, and skylight panels.


Sahuarita's commercial buildings lean toward steel: farm equipment and storage buildings, processing space, and light industrial shops. Many have long panel runs and rows of translucent skylight panels.
Water inside these buildings is either a leak or condensation, and the repair changes with the answer. We sort that out first, then fix fasteners, laps, and panels.
Long panel runs and big open interiors shape these repairs. These six come up most.
Rows of fiberglass panels let daylight into shops and storage. After years of sun they crack and pull from their fasteners, and rain comes straight through.
Long panel runs mean thousands of screws. Heat cycling backs them out unevenly, so a few loose screws can leak along a whole run. Rows near the ridge and eave usually go first.
Big open buildings with torn or missing insulation facing drip condensation on cool mornings. It looks like a roof leak but needs a different fix.
Panels on long runs overlap at end laps partway down the slope. Sealant there dries out, and water runs along the lap. On steep runs, panels can also slide slightly and open the lap further.
Fertilizer, feed, and stored equipment raise humidity and corrosion under some roofs. Rust shows first at fasteners and purlins.
Wide roofs send a lot of water to the eave. Undersized or clogged gutters overflow and run back under the bottom panel, wetting the wall girts and anything stored along the eave.
Dry buildings protect equipment, stored goods, and the work done inside.
These three services cover most Sahuarita metal buildings.

Exposed-fastener and standing seam roofs get screw, lap, panel, and skylight repairs matched to the existing profile.

Processing and light industrial buildings get sectioned repairs around equipment, schedules, and safety rules.

Drips inside big open buildings get traced to a leak or ruled out as condensation before any panel comes off.

That is often condensation, and it needs a different fix than a leak. Call and describe when and where it drips.
Metal building repairs start by sorting leaks from condensation.


We check fastener rows, end laps, skylight panels, gutters, and the underside of the panels, and note whether drips line up with rain or with cool mornings.
Drips during rain get traced to the roof. Drips on dry mornings point to insulation and ventilation, which we note for you separately.
Screws are replaced, laps resealed, and cracked skylight or rusted panels swapped for matching profiles.
A walk inside with the lights off shows any light still coming through the roof, and photos close out the repair.
Neighboring communities we also cover, each with its own roof types.
South on I-19, with clubhouse, clinic, and retail roofs over busy rooms.
Northeast toward I-10, where metal roofs join flat-roof additions.
North on I-19 near downtown, with masonry storefronts and parapet roofs.
Northwest off Ajo Way, with metal shop roofs on larger lots.
The Town of Sahuarita, for addresses inside town limits. Ask the town about thresholds before repairs involve the deck, structural framing, or rooftop equipment supports.
Check with your utility before work starts, since programs change. Trico Electric Cooperative serves parts of Sahuarita and Green Valley, and Tucson Electric Power serves most of the Tucson area, according to Pima County. Cool roof incentives usually call for a product listed by the Cool Roof Rating Council.
Note when the water appears. Drips during or right after rain are leaks, and drips on dry, cool mornings with no rain are usually condensation forming under the panels.
Yes. Translucent panels are matched to the rib profile and length, lapped correctly with the metal panels around them, and fastened with new closures.
Roof repairs are planned around the building's busy season. Work over equipment or stored goods gets scheduled for when that area is clear or covered.
Humidity from stored materials, feed, or processing speeds corrosion on the underside of panels and purlins. The repair treats or replaces rusted parts, and ventilation is noted for the owner. Fasteners in damp areas get stainless or coated replacements that hold up better.
That depends on how much daylight the building needs. Matching translucent panels keep the light, while solid metal panels end skylight leaks for good but darken the space.
The lap is opened, cleaned, and resealed with butyl tape, then stitch screws go back in on the correct spacing. Panels that slid down the slope get refastened at the purlin first.
