The longest-lasting, highest-rated roof you can put on a Florida home. Standing-seam metal panels built for 160+ mph winds, a 50+ year lifespan, and the biggest insurance discounts available in Florida.
Metal roofing costs more upfront than shingles or tile — but over a 50-year span, it is often the least expensive roof you can own when you factor in longevity, insurance savings, and zero re-roofing cycles.
Standing-seam metal roofing uses concealed fasteners and continuous panels that run from the ridge to the eave. No exposed screws. No gaps where wind can grab the panel. This is why standing-seam is the highest-wind-rated residential roofing system available and why Florida insurance companies give it their largest wind-mitigation discounts.
Bona Fide Roofing installs metal panels using the correct clips, proper thermal expansion gaps, and code-required underlayment for South Florida's heat and rain load. We work with Kynar-coated steel and aluminum panels in a full range of profiles and colors — from charcoal and dark bronze to coastal whites and warm beiges that suit Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County neighborhoods.
South Florida is one of the best climates in the United States for metal roofing. The same properties that make metal roofing exceptional in snow country — its shed-ability, structural rigidity, and resistance to water intrusion — make it equally excellent in a tropical environment. Metal sheds the daily afternoon thunderstorm as easily as it sheds a hurricane rain band.
Metal also handles Florida's heat better than expected. Light-colored or reflective metal panels can reduce attic temperatures by 20 to 30 degrees compared to dark asphalt shingles. Homeowners often report lower electricity bills the first summer after installation. With a lifespan of 50 years or more, your metal roof will likely outlast the mortgage on your home.
Standing-seam metal roofs in Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County typically range from $18,000 to $40,000 for a standard residential home. The wide range reflects differences in roof size, pitch, panel profile, coating type, and whether removal of an existing tile or shingle roof is required. The higher upfront cost is offset by a 50+ year lifespan, minimal maintenance, and the largest available wind-mitigation insurance discounts in Florida.
Standing-seam metal roofs are among the highest-rated systems for hurricane resistance. The concealed-fastener design eliminates the exposed screws that can loosen or shear under wind load. Properly installed standing-seam panels are rated for 160 mph or higher wind speeds, far exceeding the minimum Florida Building Code requirements for Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County. During Hurricanes Irma and Ian, metal-roofed homes consistently outperformed other roofing systems.
Yes — more than any other roofing system. Metal roofs consistently receive the highest wind-mitigation credits under Florida's Citizens and private insurer rating systems. Many Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County homeowners save $1,500 to $3,000 per year in insurance premiums after installing a standing-seam metal roof. We provide the wind mitigation report your insurer requires, and we have the documentation to support the maximum available credit.
No. This is a common misconception. Metal roofing reflects solar radiation rather than absorbing it. A properly installed standing-seam metal roof with a light or medium color can reduce attic temperatures by 20 to 30 degrees compared to dark asphalt shingles — often lowering cooling costs. Dark metal colors absorb more heat, similar to dark shingles, so color selection matters. We help every customer choose a profile that matches both aesthetic and thermal goals.
With proper installation, no. The key is a solid deck and appropriate underlayment beneath the panels. A standing-seam metal roof over a plywood deck with peel-and-stick underlayment is no louder during rain than an asphalt shingle roof. Open-framing installations (like some agricultural buildings) are noisier, but that is not how residential roofing is done.
