Metal Roofing in Tampa Bay and Orlando

Standing seam and stone-coated steel systems built for Florida wind, rain and sun.

Metal roofing, including standing seam panels and stone-coated steel, is a durable roofing option for Florida homes. It sheds water and wind well, reflects heat, and can last far longer than shingle. Roof X installs metal roofing with our own W-2 crews.

Types of Metal Roofing

  • Standing seam: panels with raised, concealed-fastener seams for a clean modern look and strong water shedding
  • Stone-coated steel: steel panels with a stone granule surface that resembles tile or shake
  • Metal shingles and shakes: interlocking panels in traditional profiles

Why Metal Works in Florida

  • Strong wind performance when installed to approved assemblies
  • Reflects heat, which can help cooling costs
  • Long service life compared with shingle
  • Sheds rain and debris quickly

What to Know Before Choosing Metal

Metal costs more up front than shingle. Installation quality matters more than usual: flashing details, panel fastening, expansion and sealing decide how a metal roof performs. Our crews install to the manufacturer’s specifications and Florida Product Approval requirements.

Coastal and Waterfront Homes

Salt air matters. We help you choose a metal and finish suited to how close you are to the water. Compare all roofing types.

How long does a metal roof last?

Is metal roofing louder in the rain?

Over solid decking with proper underlayment, metal roofs are not noticeably loud for most homeowners.

Does metal roofing attract lightning?

No. Metal roofs do not attract lightning more than other roofs.

Can metal be installed over my existing roof?

Sometimes, depending on code and condition. We tell you honestly whether a tear-off is the better choice.
