Metal Roofing in Brevard County, FL
A metal roof can protect your home for decades and last much longer than shingles. At Florida Roofing & Renovations Inc. , we help you understand your options, compare costs, and choose the right metal roof for your home.
Is Metal Right For You
Is a metal roof right for your home?
A metal roof is a great choice if you want a roof that lasts for decades, handles Florida’s weather, and needs less maintenance. It costs more upfront than shingles, but its long lifespan can make it a smart investment. If your current roof has only minor damage, roof repair may be a better option than a full replacement.
Before choosing, consider these two things:
Choose a Style That Fits Your Home
Metal roofing comes in different colours and styles to match your home’s design. At Florida Roofing & Renovations Inc. , we’ll help you explore the options and choose a roof that looks right for your home.
Check Your HOA Requirements
Some neighbourhoods have rules about roofing materials and colours. Before installation, we’ll help you understand what needs to be approved so you can move forward with confidence.

Panel Style
We Install Both 5V Crimp and Standing Seam Metal Roofs. Which Is Right for You?
5V Crimp Metal Roofing
A good choice if you want a strong, reliable metal roof at a lower price. It has a classic look and is often a more affordable option for Florida homeowners.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
A great choice if you want a modern-looking metal roof with fewer visible screws. It costs more than 5V crimp but generally requires less maintenance around the fasteners.
Gauge & Oil Canning
Why We Use 24-Gauge Metal Roofing
We use 24-gauge steel roofing panels because thicker metal provides better resistance to dents and helps reduce visible waves in the roof. This gives your roof a strong, durable finish designed to last for years.
With metal roofing, a lower gauge number means thicker steel.
| Gauge | Thickness | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 22-gauge | About 0.030" | Thicker steel, often used for demanding applications |
| 24-gauge | About 0.024" | Our standard for steel roofing |
| 26-gauge | About 0.018" | Common option for residential metal roofing |
| 29-gauge | About 0.014" | Thinner steel, used in some residential and agricultural applications |
Finish & Paint
Metal Roof Finishes: What's the Difference?
Your metal roof’s finish affects its appearance, cost, and how well it keeps its colour over time. Here are three common options.
Mill Finish
The natural metal surface without a painted coating. Usually the most affordable option, with a simple metallic look.
SMP Paint Finish
A painted finish available in different colours. It offers good colour protection at a more affordable price than premium coatings.
PVDF Paint Finish
A premium painted finish designed to resist fading and keep its colour for many years, even in Florida’s strong sun. Usually the most expensive option.
Hurricane Performance
Metal Roof vs. Shingles: Which Is Better for Hurricanes?
Metal roofs can offer strong protection against Florida’s hurricane winds. Compared to shingles, properly installed metal roofing systems can provide excellent wind resistance and are less likely to lose individual pieces during a storm.
Both roofing types can perform well when installed correctly. The most important factors are the roof’s wind rating, how it’s attached, and whether it meets Florida building codes.
Metal Roofing FAQ
Common metal roofing questions
Will you install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
No. We remove the old roofing first so we can inspect the wood underneath and properly prepare the roof for your new metal panels.
Is a metal roof worth the extra cost?
A metal roof costs more upfront than shingles, but it can last decades longer and require less maintenance. It can be a good investment if you plan to stay in your home for many years.
Should I choose steel or aluminum roofing?
Steel is often a more affordable choice, while aluminum is especially suitable for homes near the beach because it resists salt-air corrosion. The best option depends on your location and budget.
Does my HOA allow metal roofing?
Many HOAs allow metal roofs, but some have rules about materials, colors, or roof styles. Check your HOA requirements before choosing your new roof.
How long does a metal roof last in Florida?
A properly installed metal roof can last 40–70 years, depending on the material, weather conditions, and maintenance. Coastal exposure can also affect its lifespan.
Are metal roofs noisy when it rains?
Metal roofs aren’t necessarily much louder than shingles. With proper installation, roof decking, insulation, and underlayment help reduce the sound of rain.
