I have a new charcoal colored Galvalume 26-gauge steel roof on my house. I was wondering if I should expect some fading of the color over time. Will chalking occur? Do these roofs sometimes need a professional cleaning? There's a 40-year warenty on the Valspar coating.
Thanks!
Paint changes or fades over time, but you probably wont notice it.
Just set aside your concerns and focus on mire important matters. The only repair your roof might need would be wind damage or bullet holes depending on where you live.

What does the warranty cover? Rusting, discoloration, fading, oxidizing, chalking, peeling? Does the warranty require periodic cleaning, waxing :-) ? What do the installers say? Do you iron your socks? :-)
It's probably the same or similar finish as used on automobiles. Therefore:
On the other hand, it's a pretty big chore to wax the roof...
Isn't this something you should have asked the installer "before" buying the roof?
