Metal roofing is one of the most durable and energy-efficient roofing options available. Its modern appearance and exceptional performance make it increasingly popular throughout South Florida.
Metal roofs reflect heat, resist corrosion (with appropriate coatings), and are engineered to withstand extreme wind conditions. Properly installed metal roofing systems can last decades with minimal maintenance.
New Construction:
During the planning phase of new construction, we coordinate with builders to dial in roof slope, decking, fastening systems, insulation, and ventilation to maximize performance and longevity. Proper panel layout, attachment methods, and expansion allowances are accounted for to prevent future issues related to thermal shifting or wind uplift.
Roof Replacement:
Metal roofs generally require few repairs because of their durability and resistance to rot, insects, and UV damage. When minor issues do arise, they’re typically limited to fasteners, flashing, or seals. Replacement is usually only necessary due to age, improper original installation, or extensive storm damage.
Common metal roof issues:
Garabar installs Florida Product Approved metal roofing systems that meet or exceed Florida Building Code (FBC) and High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) wind-load requirements. Garabar holds active Florida licenses as both a Roofing Contractor and a General Contractor. For complete transparency, our credentials and insurance details are prominently displayed on all contracts and company vehicles. All work is performed to meet or exceed FBC requirements and industry best practices.
Metal roofs come in two major forms:
Standing seam roofs consist of metal roof panels cut to size and run down the roof from the ridge to the edge of the roof. Standing seam panels can be fastened with exposed or hidden fasteners.
Stone-coated steel combines the durability of steel with the rust protection of chemical layers of coating. Stone-coated steel can be fashioned to look like barrel tile, shingles, or even shake.
