Unit Curbs
Curb corners split as units vibrate. Old caulk is cut out, the corners get fabric, and the flashing is resealed. Corners get fabric because that is where the caulk tears first.

As an Avon metal roof coating contractor, we coat retail, office, and flex roofs and give extra attention to rooftop units, curbs, and the paths service techs walk.

Avon metal roof coating on retail and flex buildings starts at the rooftop units. HVAC techs cross the same strip of roof every visit, and their boots grind the paint off the panels. Curbs collect layers of caulk from each service call.
We rebuild curb flashing, add walk pads along the service paths, and coat around them so the busiest strips of roof are the toughest.
Retail and flex roofs in Avon wear fastest around the equipment.
Curb corners split as units vibrate. Old caulk is cut out, the corners get fabric, and the flashing is resealed. Corners get fabric because that is where the caulk tears first.
Foot traffic to the units scuffs paint down to bare steel. Those paths get extra coating and walk pads. Pads keep boots off the coating once the work is done.
Restaurant and retail exhaust fans leave grease and residue around their bases. It is washed off before priming. Grease left on the panels keeps any coating from bonding.
Screws near units loosen faster from vibration and foot traffic. Every one in those zones is checked and sealed. Units that rattle on their curbs are reported to the owner for service.
Water collects on the uphill side of large units. Those spots get a water-tolerant coating. Silicone or extra base coat goes on those uphill pockets.
For Avon tenants, a coating means the stores and offices below stay open during the work, and the rooftop units stay on their curbs.

Equipment and tenants shape the schedule on retail and flex buildings.

We check every curb, exhaust fan, and pipe boot, trace the paths service techs walk, and note which tenant sits under each unit. Photos of each curb corner go into the scope.
Units near the work are shut down for short windows that we plan with the property manager and tenants. Restaurants and stores get the quietest hours of their day.
Old caulk is cut out of curb corners, flashing is rebuilt with fabric, worn paths are primed, and screws near the units are replaced or sealed.
The field coats go on around the units to the specified thickness, with an extra pass along the service paths where boots wear the surface.
Walk pads are laid from the roof hatch to each unit so techs stay on a marked path. We show your manager the pad layout before we leave.

Question about your own roof?
Call UsWe coat commercial metal roofs in Avon, including retail, office, and flex buildings. Rooftop units get extra attention at the curbs and along the walkways where foot traffic wears the surface. Each roof gets a coating chosen for how it drains, and owners receive a written scope before any work starts.
Plainfield Metal Roof Coating covers Avon from Plainfield, a short drive south. The scope lists curb work, path reinforcement, and coating separately, so tenants and owners can see each cost. Shopping centers with several buildings get one section per roof so the work can be split across budget years.
Avon sits next to Plainfield and inside our regular coverage. Call or send the address, and we will set up a roof walk with your property manager present. Bring a list of any recent leak calls from tenants; it helps us trace water back to the right curb.
Roof size, the number of units and curbs, how worn the service paths are, and the coating system set the price. Our published range runs about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot for coating, compared with about $5 to $8 to replace the roof. Curb rebuilds and walk pads are priced as their own lines.
Stores and offices stay open. Units are shut down only for short windows, and we schedule those with the property manager so tenants get notice. Entrances and sidewalks stay clear because lifts are staged at the back of the building.
Units stay on their curbs. The crew coats around them, reflashes each curb, and shuts a unit off only while spraying close to its intake. Your HVAC contractor keeps service access the whole time, and walk pads mark the path to each unit afterward.
