Farmhouse Metal Roofs
At Lester’s Carpentry, we recognize the significance of structurally sound farmhouse metal roofs for the success of your agricultural business and the broader economy. The agriculture industry serves as a crucial economic powerhouse, catering to the needs of families, restaurants, grocery stores, and various commercial enterprises across the United States and globally.
Given that your farm operation’s assets are typically housed in covered buildings, it becomes imperative to conduct annual agricultural roof inspections and carry out timely repairs. These measures are indispensable for safeguarding the investments that are vital to your survival from year to year. At Lester’s Carpentry, we possess extensive expertise in farmhouse metal roofing and are committed to providing exceptional services in this field. Trust us to ensure the durability, functionality, and longevity of your farm buildings, enabling your agricultural business to thrive.

Ranch Roofing
Farmhouse metal roofs are a favored choice among farmers for their barns, greenhouses, sheds, silos, and other ranch buildings. While the initial installation cost of metal roofing tends to be higher, its exceptional durability, inherent resistance to moisture, fire, pests, and impressive lifespan of 40 to 50 years make it a highly valuable investment. However, it’s important to note that metal roofing systems in Pennsylvania may not always reach their full lifespan due to the region’s varying climate. As a result, these systems might require repairs or replacement within a period of 20 years or even less.
Signs of Deterioration For Farmhouse Metal Roofs
Assemblies of farmhouse metal roofs can experience detrimental effects from weather and environmental conditions, leading to concerns such as corrosion, warping, punctures, and various other deficiencies. The deterioration process can be further accelerated when regular maintenance and annual inspections are neglected. If your farm’s roof displays any of the following signs, we encourage you to contact us and schedule a comprehensive roof inspection for timely assessment and necessary action:
- Roof leaks
- Corrosion or rust
- Loose seams
- Damaged fasteners
- Fading paint coating
Fixing And Preventing Roof Leaks
For the last decade, Lester’s Carpentry has been safeguarding farm and agricultural buildings from expensive repairs and premature roof replacements through the implementation of Conklin’s MR System® for Metal Roofs. This innovative solution consists of a high-performance, white acrylic elastomeric coating that provides instant leak prevention, inhibits rust formation, and effectively repairs any metal deficiencies. By applying this system, your existing roofing structure is revitalized, fortified with a durable, watertight, and energy-efficient waterproof barrier. Moreover, the inclusion of a fabric-reinforced coating reinforces seams, while premium caulking effectively seals and shields exposed fasteners, effectively deterring leaks in areas prone to such occurrences.
Modern Farmhouse Roofing
Conklin’s elastomeric coatings offer superior speed, durability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional metal roof repair and replacement methods. At our company, we utilize Conklin’s MR System, applying it to the entire surface of your metal roof system. This advanced coating not only prevents leaks and inhibits rust formation but also provides an energy-efficient solution with an added insulation layer. This insulation layer offers protection to your agricultural structure by minimizing thermal movement and shock caused by extreme temperature fluctuations. As a result, it effectively reduces the expansion and contraction of roofing materials. By providing such exceptional protection, our coating significantly extends the lifespan of your farmhouse metal roofs, ensuring their durability and reliability for many years to come.
Saves Energy Costs
Renowned for their exceptional solar reflectivity and impressive energy efficiency, Conklin’s elastomeric cool roof coatings have garnered a well-deserved reputation. These coatings are certified by EnergyStar and the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), guaranteeing their high performance. With the ability to reflect up to 85% of the sun’s UV radiation, they effectively prevent heat absorption by the roof surface. As a result, the coated roof stays up to 60°F cooler compared to aluminized coatings. This cooling effect significantly reduces heat transfer into your facility, leading to potential savings of up to 30% on cooling costs for air-conditioned buildings. Moreover, the added insulation layer helps maintain warmer interior spaces during winter months, ultimately contributing to energy cost savings throughout the year.
