Why Choose Metal Roofing?
Metal roofs outperform traditional options in ways that matter. Here’s what makes them a smart choice for homes and businesses throughout South Florida.
Long Lifespan
Metal roofing systems can last 40 to 70 years, depending on the type of metal and maintenance routine. That’s double or triple the life expectancy of standard asphalt shingles.
Storm & Wind Resistance
Living in hurricane-prone zones like Palm Beach or Broward County means your roof has to handle serious wind pressure. Metal roofing systems are engineered for this, often rated to withstand wind gusts over 140 mph.
Fire & Pest Resistance
Metal doesn’t burn, rot, or serve as food for insects or rodents. That makes it a safer, lower-maintenance choice, especially for commercial buildings or multifamily units.
Energy Efficiency
A properly installed metal roof reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. That can cut cooling costs significantly in the summer, particularly when paired with reflective coatings.
Sustainability
Metal is recyclable and often contains recycled content. It’s also a great base for solar panel installations, further improving your energy footprint.
Clean Aesthetics
Metal roofs look sharp. They come in a range of finishes, profiles, and colors that work with both modern and traditional architecture.
Metal Roof Installation
We install metal roofs on new construction and existing buildings. If your current roof is failing, we’ll remove it, inspect the structure underneath, and install the metal system with proper underlayment, fasteners, and sealants. All installations follow Florida Building Code standards, including hurricane wind resistance requirements. We also:
- Help you select materials and color options
- Coordinate with architects or general contractors
- Offer financing options for qualified residential projects
Whiting Roofing manages full roof replacements with care. We remove the existing system, inspect the decking, and install a new metal roof that complies with Florida’s strict building codes. Our replacement services include workmanship warranties along with manufacturer guarantees, giving you confidence in the investment.
Metal Roof Repair
Leaks usually come from flashings, fasteners, or seams. We troubleshoot with inspections and moisture checks, then correct the source. Common fixes include replacing oxidized fasteners, resealing laps with high-performance sealant, replacing damaged panels, and rebuilding penetrations around vents, pipes, and equipment curbs. We use butyl tape, polyether or silicone sealants as specified for metal substrates and expected temperatures.
Metal Roof Maintenance
Regular maintenance can extend your roof’s life and prevent costly repairs. We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, especially after hurricane season. Our maintenance checks include:
- Inspecting and tightening fasteners
- Checking for corrosion or metal fatigue
- Cleaning debris from valleys and gutters
- Resealing seams and flashing where needed
Protective Coatings & Sealings
Coatings can extend roof life when the metal is structurally sound. We clean the surface, treat rust, prime as needed, reinforce seams and fasteners, then apply an acrylic or silicone topcoat based on your goals. Acrylics give strong reflectivity and fast cure in clear weather. Silicones handle ponding water better on low-slope sections. After coating, maintenance stays simple and inspections are quick.
Types of Metal Roofing We Install
Different buildings require different systems. Whiting Roofing works with several types of metal roofing to suit your property’s needs, design preferences, and budget.
Standing Seam Metal Roofs
These are the premium choice for clean lines and maximum weather protection. Panels run vertically from the eave to the ridge, joined by raised seams that hide the fasteners. That means fewer potential leak points and a sleek appearance.
Standing seam roofs are often preferred for commercial buildings, modern homes, and high-end architectural projects. They’re ideal when durability and appearance both matter.
Corrugated Metal Roofing
Corrugated panels are a budget-friendly and rugged option. The signature wavy shape adds strength and sheds water quickly. You’ll see them on everything from barns and sheds to coastal homes and industrial buildings.
Corrugated metal is especially effective in areas prone to heavy rainfall or intense sun, and newer coatings help reduce the rust concerns seen in older systems.
Metal Shingles
For property owners who want the durability of metal but prefer a more traditional look, metal shingles are a great match. They can replicate the appearance of wood shake, slate, or tile without the upkeep or weight.
Metal shingles are modular, which makes them easy to repair and suitable for complex roof designs with lots of corners, dormers, or valleys.
Specialty Metal Roof Metals: Aluminum, Steel, Copper, Zinc
If you’re not sure which metal roof fits your building best, our team can walk you through the pros and cons of each during the quote process.

Metal Roofing vs. Shingles: What’s Right for You?
Shingles are common because they’re cheaper up front. But when you factor in long-term costs, maintenance, and replacement, metal often comes out ahead. Not every building needs a metal roof. But if you plan to stay in your home long-term, or you own a commercial property where reliability matters, metal may be the better investment.
| Feature | Asphalt Shingles | Metal Roofing |
|---|---|---|

| Wind Resistance | Moderate | High (up to 140+ mph) |
| Energy Efficiency | Low | High |
| Maintenance | Regular | Low |
| Fire Resistance | Limited | Excellent |
| Cost (initial install) | Lower | Higher |

Costs vary depending on material, roof size, and complexity. On average, expect to pay $8 to $14 per square foot installed. We’ll provide a detailed estimate that includes all labor, materials, and warranty options.
When installed over solid decking with proper insulation, metal roofs are no louder than shingles. The “tin roof” sound is mostly a thing of the past.
In some cases, yes. Building codes allow it if the deck is in good shape and local wind uplift ratings are met. We’ll evaluate your current roof and make a recommendation.
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, metal roofs can last 40 years or more. Premium materials like copper and zinc may last over 70 years.
Occasional inspections, fastener checks, and debris removal. We recommend annual maintenance to keep everything sealed and secure, especially in storm-prone regions.
