Metal Roofing in Orlando, FL
Metal Roofing across Greater Orlando and Central Florida. Licensed and insured, with every job priced in writing before work starts.
Metal roofing spans standing seam and exposed fastener panel systems on homes and commercial buildings. Installed cost in this market commonly runs $350 to $700 per square depending on the profile and gauge. Metal handles high wind and Florida heat better than shingle.

Standing seam versus exposed fastener
Standing seam hides the fasteners under raised, interlocking seams. Nothing penetrates the panel face, so there are no rubber washers sitting in the sun waiting to fail. It costs more and it is the system most homeowners choose when they want the roof to be the last one they buy.
Exposed fastener panels, the ribbed profiles you see on barns, agricultural buildings and budget commercial work, screw through the face into the substrate. Cheaper and faster. The washers under those screws are the maintenance item, and in Central Florida UV they need attention long before the metal does.
Both need correct panel expansion allowance. Metal moves a lot across a summer day here, and a panel fastened without room to move will oil-can, tear at the fastener holes or pull its clips.
Why metal suits Central Florida
Wind is the first reason. Properly clipped standing seam has very high uplift resistance, which matters every hurricane season.
Heat is the second. Reflective coatings on metal panels shed solar gain rather than absorbing it the way dark asphalt does, so attic temperatures run lower.
Rain is the third. Water leaves a metal roof fast, which is what you want when an afternoon storm drops an inch in twenty minutes. Debris does not lodge on it the way it does in a shingle valley.
The trade-off is upfront cost and the fact that repairs need someone who works in metal. A panel is not a shingle you swap out in isolation.
The process
We measure, check the deck and existing ventilation, and confirm the substrate can take the system. Then a written scope naming the profile, gauge, finish, clip type, underlayment and price.
Install runs deck preparation, high-temperature underlayment, then panels, trims, ridge and valley detail. Penetrations get properly flashed rather than sealed with a bead of caulk, because caulk is a five-year solution on a fifty-year roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a metal roof noisy in the rain?
Not on a house. The noise people remember comes from panels fixed directly to open purlins on a barn with nothing underneath. On a residential roof with solid decking, underlayment and attic insulation below, rain on metal sounds much like rain on any other roof.
Does a metal roof attract lightning?
No. Metal does not increase the likelihood of a strike. If a building is struck, a metal roof is non-combustible and tends to disperse the energy rather than ignite, which is a point in its favour rather than against it.
Will a metal roof lower my insurance premium?
It can, depending on the carrier and the mitigation features documented. Florida Statute 627.711 requires insurers to notify policyholders about available hurricane loss mitigation discounts, and those are recorded on the uniform mitigation verification form. Wind rating and roof deck attachment are what the form captures. Ask your agent what your policy credits before assuming a saving.
Can metal go over an existing shingle roof?
Sometimes it is done, but we quote tear-offs. Installing over old shingles hides decking condition, traps heat and moisture in the assembly, and complicates fastening. On a roof you expect to keep for decades, starting from a known-good deck is worth the extra day.
How long does a metal roof last in Florida?
Longer than asphalt shingle by a wide margin when it is installed correctly and the finish is specified for coastal or high-UV exposure. The limiting factors here are the fasteners on exposed fastener systems and any sealant used at penetrations, both of which need periodic checking rather than assuming they will match the panel's life.
