Metal Roof Replacement

Homeowners in Palm Bay, FL often consider metal when a shingle roof wears out, because panels shed heavy rain and can be rated for high wind. On an existing metal roof, backed-out fasteners, cracked washers, rust at cut edges or failing sealant raise the question of whether to repair or replace.

What a metal roof estimate should cover
A contractor typically checks the decking and ventilation. The estimate should list panel profile, gauge, Florida product approval and attachment; design wind speeds for homes in Palm Bay are around 150 mph, and the exact figure depends on the address.

Do not walk on metal panels; they are slick when wet and can dent. Ask whether the old roof comes off, and get panel and workmanship warranty terms in writing.

Call about a metal roof and say what roof you have now, its age if known, and what prompted the call.
