Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation and repair for homeowners seeking a long-lasting, weather-resistant roofing option. Installed to manufacturer and Florida building standards.
What this service includes
Metal roofing is a long-lasting, weather-resistant option for South Florida homes. Installed as standing seam panels or exposed-fastener panels, a metal roof sheds water quickly, stands up to high wind, and reflects a good amount of the sun that beats down on a roof all year. For homeowners looking for a roof that can take what hurricane season delivers, metal is often the choice.
The South Florida case for metal is straightforward. A properly installed metal roof handles wind better than many other coverings, does not rely on sealants that dry out in the heat, and resists the corrosion that salt air causes, provided the right coating and fasteners are used. That last point matters near the coast, where the wrong metal or fastener can rust even if the roof itself holds up. Material and fastener selection is part of getting a metal roof right here.
Metal roofing installed by a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor is built to Florida Building Code wind requirements, which in Broward County are some of the strictest in the country. As a Polyglass certified contractor, CIT Repair & Remodeling understands low-slope and weatherproofing systems and how metal integrates with them. The business is woman-owned and owner-operated, so the licensed contractor is involved in the installation rather than handing it off.
A metal roof is not just panels screwed down. The system includes the underlayment beneath, the fasteners or clips, the flashing at every penetration and edge, and the sealing at seams. Each of those has to be right for the roof to perform in a storm. A free estimate and inspection determine whether a metal system fits your home and what the scope of installation or repair involves.
Signs you may need this service
- You want a roof that stands up to hurricane-season wind and South Florida sun better than your current covering.
- An existing metal roof with loose, lifted, or missing panels, or fasteners that are backing out or corroding.
- Rust or corrosion on panels, seams, or flashing, especially on a home near the coast.
- Leaks at seams, transitions, or penetrations where flashing has failed.
- A roof approaching the end of its service life where you would prefer to replace it with a longer-lasting material.
How this work is done
This describes how metal roofing generally proceeds in the trade, so you know what to expect.
- 1
Inspection and estimate
The existing roof is inspected, and a free estimate lays out whether a metal system fits the home, which panel type is appropriate, and the full scope of installation or repair.
- 2
Permitting
A licensed contractor pulls the required Broward County permit, which sets the wind and inspection requirements the installation must meet.
- 3
Deck preparation and underlayment
The deck is prepared or repaired, and a water-resistant underlayment is installed beneath the metal. The underlayment is a critical backup against wind-driven rain.
- 4
Panel and flashing installation
Metal panels are installed with the correct fasteners or clips to Florida Building Code wind standards. Flashing is installed at every edge, penetration, and transition, and seams are sealed.
- 5
Inspection and closeout
Required permit inspections are passed, including wind and fastener checks where applicable. The site is cleaned and the finished roof is reviewed with the homeowner.
