Why switch to metal roofing ?

Longer life span

Metal roofs can last 2-3 times longer than tradition asphalt shingle. 

Reduced enegry costs

Metal roofs release heat quicker than shingles. Homeowners can save up to 40% on engery costs. 

Extreme weather resitant

Metal roof easily outperform shingle during severe weather. Withstanding higher wind speeds and debris impact. 

Eco-Friendly 100% recyclable

When we remove metal roofs. your old roofing panels are sent to the scrap yard for recyling.  

Benefits of standing seam

  • Zero exposed fasteners. Unlike Rib metal panels that rely on hundreds of rubber washers that will need to be changed approximately every 10 years. Standing seam has no exposed screws.


  • Higher ROI. Standing seam saves you money in the long run. With rising costs on materials due to inflation, replacing your roof with shingle every 10-15 years become more costly than metal roofing. 


  • 50 year life expectancy. Standing seam is known to last significantly longer than shingle with a lot less maintenance. 


  • Energy efficient. Due to metal roofs low thermal mass, they don't hold and store heat like shingle. 


  • 100% Recyclable.  Metal roofs are eco friendly. Any metal roof we remove, goes straight to the scrap yard! 


  • Insurance savings. It's a fact! metal roofs outperform shingle roofs during hurricanes. Replacing your roof with a more durable system can potentially lower your insurance premium. 


  • Resale Value Homeowners who renovate their home with metal roofing are typically able to recoup an extremely high rate of the roof’s cost, 85.9% according to national averages and  6% resale value gain over homes roofed with asphalt.

Is standing seam more expensive than shingle?

Standing seam roofing is undoubtedly far more cost-effective in the long run. Depending on the location and panel profile, standing seam roofs can outlast shingle roofs by three times their lifetime. Despite the 30-year warranties claimed by shingle manufacturers and the seemingly unrealistic 50-year workmanship warranties pitched by some contractors, a standard dimensional "30-year" shingle will only last about 10-14 years in Florida's weather. Moreover, due to the escalating cost of inflation, you will end up paying 50% or more for the same roof in 14 years. The cost per square increased by a substantial 55% from 2017 to 2024 in materials, labor, landfill, and even permitting to replace a roof. So, it's crucial to consider how much your next roof will cost in the near future and how much you will pay for repairs to extend the life of your shingle roof for a few more years.   In summary, while the upfront cost of standing seam may be higher, in 30 years, you'll find yourself paying significantly less compared to a shingle roof with a decent life still left.


Why hire a contractor who specializes in metal roofing?

  • A metal roof is only worth its investment if it will outlast a shingle roof. It's essential to select a contractor with hands-on experience in the roofing systems they offer, rather than a contractor who relies solely on their installer's knowledge. You need a contractor that can guarantee you a solid installation with proven techniques on the most problematic roof curbs and details. 


  • We manufacture our own metal products, eliminating unnecessary logistic costs. Our metal comes directly from our shop to your roof.


  • We get only the best quality in metal for you. Not all metal is made the same. When we would buy from manufacturers, we'd come across metal having inconsictencies like tiny cracks during the bending process and lighter steel even if it was the same gauge.

Gauge (thickness). 



  • The weight of 24 gauge metal is approximately 30% greater than that of 26 gauge. 24 gauge is commonly used in northern states and can support heavier loads. While there is no standard, 24 gauge is known for its longer lifespan, ability to withstand harsh climates, higher resistance to uplift, better impact rating, and suitability for longer installations. Typically, 24 gauge costs around 30% more than 26 gauge in Mill Finish and about 50% more in a painted panel, as it is only available with Kynar/PVDF paint.


  • 26-gauge metal is available in both SMP and Kynar/PVDF finishes. It is more commonly used in Florida residential construction due to the absence of snow and infrequent hail storms. 26-gauge metal is more cost-effective, yet still offers excellent wind resistance.


Panel Finish 


  • SMP paint finishes are the best option for lighter colors as they effectively minimize the visibility of fading over time.


  • Kynar/PVDF is known to be more effective against fading and is recommended when choosing a darker color.. 


  • Mill Finish is an "unpainted" panel that gradually develops a rustic tint or patina. It comes coated and will not rust prematurely.
