- Commercial Metal Roof Restoration in Shelton, WA
Commercial metal roofs in Mason County face constant pressure from both heavy Puget Sound rainfall and extreme summer heat gain. Do It Right Roofing recently partnered with the Mason County Senior Activities Association to restore its facility using advanced NanoTech technology. Instead of a costly tear-off, this project focused on sealing critical leak points and improving long-term thermal efficiency.
Project Snapshot

- Service Category: Commercial Metal Roof Restoration
- Materials Installed: NanoTech Cool Roof Coat with Fabriseal Seam Reinforcement
- Warranty: 20-Year No Dollar Limit (NDL) Warranty and 10-Year Workmanship Warranty
- Efficiency: Walkable in 90 minutes and rain safe in 8 hours
The Challenge: Why the Mason County Senior Activities Association Called Us
The aging metal roof at the Mason County facility was developing common Pacific Northwest vulnerabilities. Years of heavy rain and stubborn moss buildup led to rust and leaks at the seams and fasteners. Metal roofs often develop these issues as seals fail over time, leading to premature structural failure.
Moisture was only part of the problem. Intense solar heat absorption was also damaging the building’s efficiency. On similar uncoated commercial roofs, surface temperatures reach a scorching 149°F. This heat creates internal ceiling temperatures as high as 112°F. This thermal load placed immense strain on HVAC systems and significantly increased the association’s operational costs.
The "Do It Right" Solution
Do It Right Roofing provided a “Coat, don’t replace” alternative to a full roof tear-off. The process began by cleaning and prepping the metal surface to ensure a proper bond. Our crew sealed all existing screws and applied Fabriseal reinforcement to all horizontal seams and rake flashings, creating a localized waterproof barrier.
We then installed the NanoTech Cool Roof Coat. We chose this high-performance system because it uses patented Insulative Ceramic Particle technology. Unlike standard reflective coatings, this technology creates a physical barrier that prevents heat from passing through the coating. This is essential for the Western Washington environment because it remains effective even as the roof gathers local debris over time.
The Result
The Mason County Senior Activities Association now has a fully restored, energy-efficient roofing system. The NanoTech coating lowered surface temperatures by up to 45°F. This reduction can lower HVAC cooling loads by 20% to 50%, providing significant long-term energy savings for the facility.
This Shelton project is now protected by a 20-Year No Dollar Limit (NDL) warranty. Because this was a restoration rather than a replacement, the association avoided massive landfill fees and business disruption. Additionally, the client could take advantage of Section 179 tax incentives, allowing an immediate deduction of up to 80% of the cost.
Project FAQ
What kind of coating was used for this Shelton roof restoration?
We installed NanoTech Cool Roof Coat because its ceramic-particle technology blocks heat transfer more effectively than standard products. This keeps the building cool even during summer temperature spikes in Mason County.
Is it possible to stop leaks on a metal roof without replacing it?
Yes. By using Fabriseal reinforcement at the seams and sealant protection at the fasteners, we create a waterproof layer that prevents leaks and rust for decades.
