Project Overview

A residential standing seam metal roof installation completed in Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311. Engineered for maximum wind resistance and long-term durability, this project replaced an outdated roofing system with a modern, Florida-approved metal assembly built to handle Broward County’s extreme summer heat, coastal humidity, and tropical rainstorms.

The Challenge

Where the roof started

Properties in Fort Lauderdale face aggressive weather patterns that deteriorate standard roofing materials over time. Upgrading this home required strict adherence to wind uplift standards and precise flashing details along all roof penetrations.

The previous roof showed signs of aging and wear, creating a risk for leaks during severe weather events

Meeting Broward County high-wind uplift regulations required enhanced deck re-nailing and high-performance underlayment

Detailed roof geometries and transitions called for custom metal flashings to guarantee full waterproofing

Scope Of Work

What we did

Complete tear-off of old roofing materials down to the plywood roof deck

Inspection of structural decking, replacing damaged panels and re-nailing to current Florida Building Code

Full-coverage installation of high-temperature, self-adhering waterproof underlayment

Precision alignment and installation of standing seam metal roof panels using concealed fasteners

Custom fabrication and installation of perimeter drip edges, valley metal, wall flashings, and ridge caps

Materials & System

What was installed

Florida Building Code-approved standing seam metal roofing panels

High-temp self-adhering modified-bitumen secondary water barrier
