What Types of Metal Roofs Do We Install?

At Eave & Gable Roofing, we commonly install standing seam metal roofing, the most advanced and durable option available for Florida homes as well as specialty metal roofing solutions such as Decra, Permatile and Unified Steel.

Our standing seam systems feature:

26-gauge steel panels (standard), with optional 24-gauge for added thickness and longevity
A clean, modern look with no exposed fasteners
Full sealing with high-temperature water barrier underlayment for maximum leak protection
Available in a natural mill finish (Galvalume) or a wide variety of colors
All color panels use Kynar® paint, known for its exceptional UV resistance and long-lasting finish

For homes near saltwater, we install aluminum standing seam panels in 20-gauge thickness. These come exclusively in Kynar-painted colors and are the only appropriate option for coastal environments, as steel would corrode over time.

Specialty Metal Roofs

Who doesn’t loves the look of a traditional clay tile roof? A tile roof looks particularly great in Florida where it gives a tropical vibe and many homes are built in a Spanish style. The problems are cost – clay tile roofs are expensive – and more importantly weight. Many roofs are not structurally designed to support the weight of tiles.

There is a solution. Eave & Gable Roofing installs specialty metal roofs from Decra, Permatile and Unified Steel by Westlake which are coated with stone or other ceramic materials and mimic the appearance of clay tiles, slate, cedar shake or regular shingles. They come in a huge variety of styles and colors to match the design of your home.

FAQs about Metal Roofing

How long does a metal roof really last?

A properly installed metal roof can last 40–70 years — often twice as long as asphalt shingles.

Will a metal roof make my home hotter?

Actually, the opposite. Metal reflects solar heat, helping keep your attic cooler and reducing your A/C load.

Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?

No — when installed over solid decking with underlayment (which we always use), a metal roof is no louder than shingles.

Can a metal roof work with my home’s style?

Yes. Today’s metal roofing comes in a wide range of styles and finishes — including options that mimic tile or shake.

How well does a metal roof hold up in a hurricane?

Extremely well. Most metal roofing systems are rated to withstand wind speeds of 120–160+ mph, making them ideal for Florida’s hurricane-prone climate. We install metal roofs using hurricane-rated fasteners and materials that meet or exceed local building codes.

Is a metal roof more expensive than shingles?

Upfront, yes — but over time, a metal roof often costs less due to its longevity, low maintenance, and energy savings. You may also qualify for insurance discounts in hurricane zones.

Can a metal roof be installed over my existing roof?

In some cases, yes — depending on local code and the condition of your existing roof. We’ll evaluate your structure during a free inspection and let you know the safest, most cost-effective option.

Will a metal roof rust or corrode?

Not the way we install them. At Eave & Gable Roofing, we use galvalume-coated steel or Kynar®-painted aluminum panels — both designed to resist rust and corrosion for decades.
Galvalume steel includes a zinc-aluminum coating that protects the panel even if it’s scratched
Our Kynar® paint finish resists UV damage and helps seal out moisture
For homes near saltwater, we install aluminum panels, which won’t rust like steel would in a coastal environment
And with every install, we include a high-temperature water barrier underlayment, so the system stays sealed and protected underneath as well.

Does a metal roof require special maintenance?

Metal roofs are low-maintenance, but not maintenance-free. We recommend annual inspections, gutter cleaning, and fastener checks to keep everything tight and weatherproof — services we’re happy to provide.

How will a metal roof impact the resale value of my home?

A metal roof can increase your home’s resale value significantly. Buyers are often willing to pay more for homes with durable, energy-efficient, low-maintenance roofing. According to industry studies, homeowners can recoup up to 85% or more of the cost of a metal roof at resale — plus, the modern look can boost curb appeal and help your home stand out in a competitive market.
