METAL ROOFING IN FLORIDA

When properly installed and maintained, a metal roof can last 50–70 years, depending on the type of system, finish, and local weather conditions.

Standing seam and metal tile systems tend to last the longest due to concealed fasteners and thicker gauges.

⏳ We’ll help you choose a system that matches your long-term plans — whether you're staying for good or planning to sell in 10 years.

No. This is one of the most common and most misunderstood myths about metal roofing. Metal roofs do not attract lightning. In fact, metal is non-combustible, meaning if your home were to be struck by lightning, a metal roof is actually safer than other materials because it won’t catch fire.

Lightning is attracted to height and direct paths to ground, not the material on your roof. A tall tree or antenna is far more likely to be hit than a metal roof.

⚡ If you have concerns about grounding or surge protection, we’re happy to walk you through safety recommendations specific to your home.

All roofing materials experience some degree of fading in Florida’s intense sun - but how much depends entirely on the manufacturer. That’s why we only install metal systems with industry-leading fade resistance, backed by real testing and long-term performance data.

Each supplier has different fade tolerances and warranty coverage.

We’ll show you real-life color samples, explain the expected fade rates by supplier, and help you choose a finish that holds up beautifully for decades.

They can be, but not always. The sound of rain on a metal roof depends entirely on what’s underneath it. If your roof is installed over solid decking with quality underlayment, the sound is muted and similar to other roofing systems. (which we do on every project)

Homes with spray foam insulation typically hear no difference at all - the foam absorbs the sound completely. But in homes without insulation or with open attic spaces, rain can be more noticeable, especially during heavy storms.

If you're sensitive to sound, let us know during your estimate — we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect based on your attic and insulation type.

Metal roofs are low maintenance but not maintenance-free.

We recommend:

• Annual inspections (after storms)

• Clearing leaves and debris from valleys and seams

• Checking exposed fasteners (if applicable) every few years

• Rinsing off salt buildup in coastal areas

We offer inspection services and can show you how to keep your roof in peak condition year after year.

Most modern metal systems are coated in UV-stable finishes designed to last for decades - but yes, all roofing materials can fade slightly with prolonged sun exposure.

We recommend color families that age gracefully and suppliers who stand behind their finish warranties.

Most do, especially when the product mimics tile or is a clean standing seam. We’ve helped homeowners across Florida get approvals by submitting detailed spec sheets, Florida product approvals and color samples.

🏘 If you're in an HOA community, we’ll assist with the paperwork and recommend materials that pass architectural review.

All the metal systems we install are coated with rust-resistant finishes designed for Florida’s climate. We also recommend hidden-fastener systems to minimize water intrusion points, especially near screw penetrations.

Over time, any metal exposed to moisture and salt air has the potential to corrode. But with the right system and proper installation, that risk is significantly reduced.

🔧 With routine maintenance and a high-quality install, rust is rarely an issue before the 40–50 year mark - and often never occurs at all if maintaned well.
