Why metal roofs leak in Bryant and Saline County
In a metal roof system, the panels usually outlast the parts that hold them down and seal them. Screws, rubber washers, sealant, pipe boots, and flashing wear out first, and a metal roof repair replaces them. Hail from severe weather can dent panels and crack their coating, and Saline County gets plenty of it.
Recent hail reports in Bryant and Saline County
Sources: NOAA/NCEI Storm Events via hailhistory.com, and National Weather Service reports via hailmaphailyeah.com. April has the most hail in the county, 80 of 291 events.
Signs at the screws
- Screws backed out, crooked, or rusted at the head
- Rubber washers cracked, flattened, or shrunken
- Rust at the laps, the cut edges, or scratches down to bare metal
Signs inside the house
- A ceiling stain or a drip after hard rain
- A leak that sits uphill or off to the side of the stain, because water runs along the ribs and purlins (the strips the panels screw into) first
Signs at the trim, seams, and flashing
- Ridge cap, trim, or flashing lifted or loose
- Rubber pipe boots cracked
- Standing seams open or bent, or hail dents with cracked coating
Waviness in flat panels, called oil canning, is cosmetic, according to Sheffield Metals. Rust, stains, loose screws, and lifted trim are worth a free inspection from Lifetime Construction Builders.

What metal roof repair costs in Bryant, AR
Most metal roof repairs with Lifetime Construction Builders cost $500 to $3,000, and the price on your written estimate doesn't change.
A metal roof replacement, with a new roof of panels, costs $12,000 to $38,000 or more, so a repair is worth pricing first when the panels are sound.

Metal roof repair and replacement questions
Straight answers on leaks, screws, sealant, and insurance for metal roofs in Bryant and nearby towns.
Rather ask Jon? Call(501) 307-1440Can a metal roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes. Lifetime Construction Builders repairs seams, fasteners, flashing, and single panels, so a sound metal roof doesn't need replacing for a few bad parts. The inspection and written estimate are free.
Why does my metal roof leak in heavy rain?
Exposed screws are the usual cause. The Metal Construction Association's install manual says any exposed fastener that isn't fully secured, is crooked, or has a defective seal will eventually leak. Lifetime Construction Builders also checks flashing, seams, and sealant.
How often do metal roof screws need replacing?
There's no fixed schedule. Sheffield Metals advises checking fasteners every year, because panels expand and contract with heat and can back them out. Lifetime Construction Builders does both spot screw replacements and full re-screws.
Can I put Flex Seal or caulk over leaking screws?
It won't last. Sheffield Metals says exposed sealant eventually fails in the sun, and sealant over a loose screw leaves the screw loose. Lifetime Construction Builders replaces the failed screw, seam, or flashing instead.
Can I repair my metal roof myself?
Small fixes, maybe, but screws driven too loose or too tight both leak, and the Metal Construction Association advises against impact drivers for panel screws. Matching a new panel's color and profile is the other hard part. Lifetime Construction Builders' inspection is free.
Will insurance pay for hail dents on a metal roof?
Not always. Some Arkansas policies exclude hail that only changes how a metal roof looks. Punctures, coating cracked to bare metal, bent seams, or loosened screws count as real damage. Lifetime Construction Builders photographs it and helps with your claim at no extra cost.
Is Lifetime Construction Builders licensed and insured?
Yes. Lifetime Construction Builders holds Arkansas contractor license RR0540591024 and carries $1M general liability and $2M workers' comp. It's a BBB Accredited Business, family owned, and run by Daniel Retana since 2009.
Do you also repair asphalt shingle roofs?
Yes. Lifetime Construction Builders repairs asphalt shingle roofs too, and it's an Atlas Preferred Contractor and Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Authorized Installer. Shingle repairs usually run $400 to $1,500.
