Everything You Need to Know About Standing Seam & Exposed Fastener Metal Roof
Why Metal Wins in Florida
If money is no object, metal is the best roof you can put on a Florida home — especially coastal homes. Standing-seam aluminum resists salt corrosion forever (galvanized steel rusts in 7–10 years on the beach), deflects solar radiation with Kynar 500 cool-roof finishes (cutting A/C costs 25–30%), sheds wind-driven rain cleanly, and lasts 50–70+ years. It's also the only roofing system where the color is guaranteed for 35 years under a PVDF/Kynar finish warranty.
Standing Seam vs. Exposed Fastener
Standing-seam metal is often chosen for a clean, concealed-fastener look. Exposed-fastener systems are another option with different cost and detail. Pricing depends on material, profile, and site conditions; we quote after an inspection — we do not publish per-square-foot pricing on the site.
Aluminum vs. Galvalume — Material Selection
Aluminum (0.032" or 0.040") is 100% corrosion-proof and the only metal to use within 1,500 feet of the Atlantic. Galvalume (26-gauge steel with aluminum-zinc coating) is cheaper and great for inland Florida homes. Both get the same Kynar 500 finish in 30+ colors. We always recommend aluminum for Hallandale, Hollywood Beach, Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, and Aventura.
Cool Roof Energy Savings
Light-colored metal with reflective finishes can help reduce summer heat load versus darker absorptive surfaces, especially when paired with ventilation and insulation. Actual savings vary by home; we can discuss product choices during your estimate.
