Why More Floridians Are Choosing Metal Roofs
Metal roofs are making waves in Florida neighborhoods, from coastal homes to inland bungalows. Why? Because metal roofing offers a combination of durability, efficiency, and sleek aesthetics that outperform traditional shingles—especially in storm-prone areas.
Benefits of Metal Roofing in Florida
-
Extreme Durability: Metal roofs last 40 to 70 years—twice as long as asphalt shingles.
-
Storm Resistance: Interlocking panels provide excellent wind resistance, ideal for hurricane zones.
-
Energy Efficiency: Reflective coatings reduce heat absorption, helping keep your attic cooler and lowering your A/C costs.
-
Low Maintenance: Unlike shingles, metal won’t rot, warp, or lose granules.
-
Modern Look: Available in standing seam, 5V crimp, or metal tile profiles.
Drawbacks to Consider
-
Higher Initial Cost: Metal roofs typically cost more upfront, though they save money over time.
-
Noise During Rainstorms: Without proper insulation, they can be loud during storms.
-
Installation Expertise Required: Poor installation can cause leaks, corrosion, or panel shifting.
