Frequently asked questions
Why should I choose a metal roof over traditional roofing materials?
Metal roofing offers outstanding durability, energy savings, and longevity. Unlike traditional shingles, metal roofs resist fire, high winds, and Florida’s intense heat—making them ideal for our local climate. They also require less maintenance over time.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
Not at all. When installed correctly with insulation and underlayment, metal roofs are no louder than other roofing materials during rain. In fact, many homeowners report that they hear no noticeable difference.
Is metal roofing energy efficient in hot climates like Florida?
Yes—metal roofs reflect solar heat, which helps reduce indoor cooling costs, especially in Florida’s warm climate. Certain finishes and coatings can further enhance these energy-saving benefits.
Will a metal roof increase the weight load on my home?
Actually, metal roofing is one of the lightest roofing materials available. It’s significantly lighter than tile or asphalt shingles, which reduces stress on your home’s structure and can sometimes even extend its lifespan.
Are metal roofs safe in lightning-prone or wildfire areas?
Yes. Metal roofs are non-combustible and have the highest fire-resistance rating (Class A). Contrary to myth, metal does not attract lightning, and if struck, it safely disperses the energy across the structure.
How long does a metal roof last?
A properly installed metal roof can last anywhere from 40 to 70 years, far outlasting traditional asphalt shingles. Its longevity makes it a cost-effective investment for both residential and commercial buildings.
Are there design and color options available?
Absolutely. We offer a wide range of profiles, finishes, and colors to complement any style—from modern and coastal homes to more traditional buildings. You can even choose looks that mimic shingles or tiles.
Can metal roofing be recycled?
