Metal Roofing

Standing seam vs. exposed-fastener panel

The two main metal-roofing systems we install:

Standing seam. Premium choice. Fasteners are hidden inside the seam — no exposed screws, no rubber gaskets to degrade, no leak points. Snap-lock or mechanical seam. Smooth modern look. 50+ year warranty. This is what we install on most upscale residential and architectural commercial.

Exposed-fastener panel (R-panel, 5V-Crimp). More affordable, faster install, the look you see on most barns and agricultural buildings. Fasteners go through the panel with rubber washers — which means a 20-year reset schedule on the washers. Great for the right application.

For Miami homes, we recommend standing seam 9 times out of 10. For warehouses, AG, and budget-conscious commercial — panel can be the right call.

Why metal makes sense in Miami

• Lifespan. 50-70 years vs. 25 for shingle, vs. 50 for tile. The longest-lasting roof you can buy.
• Hurricane resilience. When installed with HVHZ-spec clips and pan widths, standing seam tests over 200mph wind uplift. We’ve had Duke metal roofs go through three named storms with zero damage.
• Energy. Cool-roof colored Kynar-coated metal reflects 60-80% of solar heat. Most customers see a 20-30% drop in summer cooling bills.
• Insurance. Most Florida carriers offer 10-30% premium discounts for hurricane-rated metal roofs.
• Resale. Adds documented home value at appraisal.
