Shingle and metal roofing
Asphalt shingles are a common, cost-conscious choice. Metal roofs, typically standing-seam or exposed-fastener panels, are chosen for longevity and wind performance and are increasingly common on Florida homes.
Whether you are repairing shingles or weighing a switch to metal, describe the project and a participating contractor who serves your area can discuss options.
Signs worth a closer look
- Shingles that are curling, cracking, losing granules or missing
- Lifted tabs after a windstorm
- On metal roofs: loose or backed-out fasteners, worn sealant or rust at seams and edges
Questions that shape the project
- Whether the roof deck and underlayment need work along with the covering
- Which shingle or metal product is approved for use in Florida
- Coastal exposure, which affects metal and fastener choices
Questions to ask a contractor
- Florida product approval for the specific shingle or metal panel
- Finish and fastener options for salt-air exposure
- Manufacturer and workmanship warranties
