1. First, you should be aware of the different types of metal roof systems. You should determine what type of metal roofing system is your roofing under. This will help you give the roof care that is best suited for your type of metal roofing system.
There are two kinds of metal roofing systems. The first one is the Architectural metal roofing that is directly installed on your roof decking. For this type, thinner metal is used for your roofing. The second type is structural metal roofing, usually designed to be part of your home structure. This type is made of thicker materials. Once you determine which type of metal roofing system your home has, it’s easier to protect your metal roof from different kinds of damage like fire or water damage.

3. Most importantly, keep your metal roofing clean and free of any debris. Ideally, your metal roofing is protected from scratches. You should clear out trees and things that can constantly rub and irritate your metal roofing.
