Project Overview

A premier residential metal roofing installation completed in Fort Lauderdale, designed to provide superior durability against severe South Florida storms. This project replaced an aging roofing assembly with a heavy-duty standing seam metal system, engineered to withstand high wind uplift, heavy rainfall, and intense coastal UV exposure while giving the property a sleek, contemporary appearance.

The Challenge

Where the roof started

Homes in Fort Lauderdale face relentless coastal elements, making proper waterproofing and structural attachment critical. Upgrading this home required precise engineering to meet local wind loads and complex geometry around roof intersections.

The previous roof showed significant wear, posing a risk for leaks during heavy seasonal rainstorm events

Strict Broward County building codes required enhanced deck re-nailing and high-velocity hurricane zone standards

Precision panel cutting and custom flashing were needed to seal all roof transitions and valleys seamlessly

Scope Of Work

What we did

Full removal of existing roof covering down to the bare plywood deck

Thorough deck inspection, replacing damaged wood panels and reinforcing attachment spacing

Application of a high-temperature, self-adhering secondary water barrier over the entire roof area

Custom fabrication and fitting of perimeter metal flashings, valley pans, and drip edges

Professional alignment and secure installation of standing seam metal roof panels with concealed clips

Materials & System

What was installed

Florida Building Code-approved standing seam metal roofing panels

High-temp self-adhering modified-bitumen underlayment

Kynar 500® architectural finish for long-lasting color and corrosion resistance

Corrosion-resistant stainless steel fasteners and heavy-duty panel clips

Project FAQ

Questions about this project

Why should I upgrade to a metal roof in Fort Lauderdale?

Metal roofs offer top-tier hurricane resistance, exceptional longevity, and superior energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat away from the home.

Will a metal roof stand up to saltwater air near the coast?

Yes. Modern metal roofing systems are finished with high-performance coatings like Kynar 500® specifically formulated to resist corrosion, chalking, and salt air degradation.
