After you’ve done your repairs, wait for a good rainstorm. Go outside, stand under an umbrella, and listen. That pitter-patter should be the only sound. No drip-drip-drip. If you hear the latter, grab your caulk gun and prepare for round two.
Remember: a metal roof can last over 50 years if you treat it right. You just gave it a few more decades of good service. Pat yourself on the back. Then go check your gutters—they’re probably full of leaves and plotting their own rebellion. But that, my friend, is a story for another rainy day.
Now go forth and seal. Your ceiling is counting on you.
