Project Overview

A high-performance residential metal roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale, tailored for maximum hurricane resistance and modern curb appeal. The project involved a complete tear-off, structural deck reinforcement, and the installation of a premium standing seam metal roofing system built to withstand Broward County’s harsh coastal conditions, high winds, and heavy rainfall.

The Challenge

Where the roof started

Florida coastal properties face extreme weather, intense sun exposure, and high wind uplift requirements. Transitioning to a metal roofing system required meticulous engineering, waterproof underlayment protection, and precise panel alignment to ensure long-term stability and leak prevention.

Existing roofing material was aged and compromised, leaving the structure vulnerable to wind-driven rain

High-wind coastal codes required enhanced deck fastening and heavy-duty secondary water barriers

Complex roof transitions and sidewall junctions demanded custom-fabricated metal flashings

Scope Of Work

What we did

Complete tear-off of old roofing materials down to the structural plywood decking

Deck inspection, replacement of damaged wood, and re-nailing to meet current Florida Building Code

Installation of a high-temperature, self-adhering waterproof underlayment across the entire deck

Custom fabrication and installation of perimeter drip edges, valley liners, and wall flashings

Precise alignment and concealed-fastener installation of standing seam metal roof panels

Materials & System

What was installed

Florida-approved standing seam metal panel system

High-temp self-adhering modified-bitumen underlayment

Kynar 500® coated corrosion-resistant trim and flashing components

High-wind heavy-duty mounting clips and stainless steel fasteners

Project FAQ

Questions about this project

Why is metal roofing a great choice for Fort Lauderdale homes?

Metal roofing offers exceptional resistance to high winds, severe storms, and saltwater corrosion. It also reflects solar heat, significantly improving home energy efficiency.

How does a standing seam metal roof handle severe storms?

Standing seam systems use concealed fasteners protected beneath interlocked panels, eliminating exposed screw holes where water could enter during high-wind rain events.
