metal roofs
Standing seam metal roofs have become very popular over the past 20 years in part due to their wind resisting capabilities. When it comes to metal roofing in Florida, standing seam is definitely the way to go. The durability of metal panels combined with the hidden fasteners and beams mean that it can easily withstand Florida’s weather, such as heavy rains and strong winds when those tropical storms roll in. Additionally, the metal reflects the sunlight and heat, so it will help to keep the interior of your property cool. Furthermore, it’s easily customizable, and while it may not be the cheapest metal roofing option in terms of installation, over the life of the structure, it’s the more economical choice
