150mph wind-rated systems. 40–70 year lifespan. Cooler home and lower energy bills. Metal roofing is the best long-term investment for Florida’s coastal climate — and PeakShield installs it right, everywhere in the state.
We install both major metal roofing systems. The right choice depends on your budget, location, and performance goals — our inspectors will walk you through both during your free estimate.
The highest-performance metal roofing system available. Raised interlocking seams and concealed fasteners create a continuous watertight surface with zero exposed hardware. The industry standard for coastal Florida properties and the most wind-resistant residential roofing option available.
A highly durable and more affordable metal roofing option. Corrugated panels use visible fasteners with neoprene washers to create a secure, weather-resistant surface. An excellent choice for budget-conscious homeowners who still want the longevity and strength of a metal roof without the premium price of standing seam.
Florida’s climate punishes roofs more than almost anywhere else in the country. Metal is the only material that excels in every category Florida demands.
Standing seam systems rated at 160mph+ exceed Florida Building Code requirements for every wind zone in the state. Metal roofing is the only residential material that can survive a direct hit from a major hurricane with minimal damage.
Metal reflects solar radiation instead of absorbing it, keeping your attic and living spaces significantly cooler. Florida homeowners typically see 10–25% reductions in cooling costs after switching to metal — savings that accumulate over decades.
Florida’s coastal environment is brutal for standard roofing materials. Modern metal roofing systems use Galvalume or aluminum substrates with specialized coatings that resist salt air corrosion for the full lifespan of the roof.
Many Florida insurance carriers offer premium reductions for metal roofing due to its superior impact and wind resistance. In some cases, the annual insurance savings alone can offset a significant portion of the upfront cost difference vs. shingles.
Asphalt shingles last 15–25 years in Florida’s climate. A metal roof lasts 40–70 years — meaning a metal roof installed today may never need to be replaced again. Two or three shingle replacements over that same period would cost significantly more in total.
Metal roofing requires almost no ongoing maintenance compared to shingles. No granule loss, no cracking, no curling. Periodic inspections and gutter cleaning are all that’s needed to keep a metal roof performing at full capacity for decades.
| Metal Roofing | Asphalt Shingles | Concrete Tile | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | 40–70 years | 15–25 years | 25–50 years |
| Wind resistance | 150–160mph+ | Up to 130mph | Up to 150mph |
| Energy efficiency | Excellent | Moderate | Good |
| Maintenance | Very low | Moderate | Low–moderate |
| Upfront cost | $14–30K | $7–12K | $12–22K |
| 30-year total cost | Lowest | Highest (2–3 replacements) | Moderate |
| Insurance discounts | Often available | Standard rate | Sometimes |

Not all metal roof coatings perform equally in Florida. The combination of intense UV, salt air, and heat demands coatings engineered for this environment. We only specify products with documented Florida performance history.
Discuss Your OptionsThe premium coating standard for commercial and high-end residential metal roofing. Exceptional UV resistance, color retention, and chalk resistance over 30+ years. The best choice for Florida coastal environments.
A step below PVDF in longevity but significantly more affordable. Good UV and salt resistance for Florida’s inland and semi-coastal areas. Available in a wide range of colors.
Energy Star-rated reflective finishes that maximize solar heat rejection. Ideal for maximizing energy savings and qualifying for utility rebates. Lighter colors provide the best reflectance.
The base metal matters as much as the coating. We specify Galvalume (steel + zinc/aluminum alloy) or full aluminum panels for coastal installations where corrosion resistance is critical.
| Metal | Asphalt | |
| Lifespan | 40–70 yr | 15–25 yr |
| Wind rating | 150mph+ | 130mph |
| Cooling costs | −25% | No benefit |
| Maintenance | Minimal | Regular |
| Mold / algae | None | Common |
| Cost per year | Lower | Higher |
From your first call to the final inspection — here’s what to expect.
A licensed inspector assesses your existing roof, home structure, and location. We’ll recommend the right system type — standing seam or corrugated — and the right coating for your wind zone and environment. Written estimate before we leave.
We help you select the right profile, color, and coating. If your community has an HOA, we prepare the submittal package and can assist with the approval process — we’ve done this hundreds of times across Florida.
We file all required permits with your city or county and coordinate the required inspections. Metal roofing in Florida requires both a roofing permit and a wind mitigation inspection. We handle all of it.
Full tear-off of existing roofing, deck inspection and repair, high-performance underlayment, and metal panel installation to manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code. Most residential metal roof installations are completed in 2–4 days.
Upon completion we provide a wind mitigation report — the document your insurer needs to apply any applicable discount. Your 8-Year PeakShield workmanship warranty is issued at project close-out.
A licensed PeakShield inspector will assess your home, recommend the right system, and give you a written estimate — all before leaving your property. Same-day available across Florida.
