Maintenance Checklist

Every Six Months

Walk around your building twice a year and inspect the following.

Season by Season

Spring

Clear away leaves or debris from around the foundation. Make sure gutters or downspouts are free of clogs.

Summer

Inspect for fading paint or UV wear and consider a touch-up.

Fall

Remove leaves from the roof and check for gaps that might let in pests.

Winter

After heavy snow, safely clear the roof to prevent excess weight, especially on non-vertical roofs.

Long-term Care

• Clean the exterior. Rinse dirt, pollen, and debris from panels and roof using a garden hose or gentle pressure-washer setting.
• Inspect panels and trim. Look for dents, scratches, or loose fasteners and address them promptly.
• Check for rust. Touch up paint chips or scratches immediately to prevent corrosion.

After a storm. Buildings should be physically inspected at least twice a year, and again immediately after severe weather, to check for dents, holes, or other damage that could compromise the structural steel panels.

Watch: Building Maintenance, Part I

Steel buildings are celebrated for their durability and low maintenance, but custom metal buildings still need routine care to preserve appearance and performance. Inspect at least twice a year, and again immediately after severe weather.
