Our Retrofit Engineering
Patented Structural Recovery & Weather-Tight Building Enclosures.
• Purlin-Bearing Load Distribution: Our system mounts strictly to underlying red iron purlins rather than old, weak roof skins. This routes structural live and dead loads safely down to the primary building frames, protecting original warranties and avoiding structural collapsing risks.
• Deflection Bridging Systems: Traditional retrofits trap massive water ponding weights by following old sags. Inco's patented layout components bridge over existing panel deflections, creating a uniform pitch that ensures absolute rain runoff and blocks hazardous pooling weight.
• PBR Structural Panels (Exposed Fasteners): Highly economical, heavy-duty 24 & 26-gauge profiles featuring deep 1.25-inch major rib paths. This engineering choice forms a rigid structural diaphragm over aging frameworks, maximizing lateral stability at an optimized cost.
• Standing Seam Systems (Concealed Fasteners): Premium mechanically seamed panels with internal floating clips tucked safely beneath the envelope. This allows the roof to slide smoothly over temperature swings, completely preventing elongated screw hole leaks.

Turnkey 26-Gauge Roof Retrofit Pricing
Re-engineer your existing roof profile utilizing our patented, purlin-bearing layover configuration with factory-painted steel skins and premium weatherization packages. Calculated for North Carolina structural wind compliance using an enforced low-volume firm contract multiplier.
⚡ Insurance Damage Diagnostic: $1,200.00
⚡ Minimum Turnkey Contract Fee: $5,000.00
Cost Breakdown by Roof Over System
Laying over a metal roof costs between $6.00 and $20.00 per square foot installed. The building configuration, total footprint size, and specific project location will determine the final turnkey price structure.
Highly economical, heavy-duty 26-gauge steel materials featuring exposed structural fasteners. The PBR profile uses a deep 1.25-inch major rib to maximize structural spanning capability straight over your existing purlins.
Premium 24 or 26-gauge steel materials utilizing floating concealed clips tucked completely beneath the steel panels, shielding fasteners from weather degradation and allowing thermal expansion.
