Standing seam, stamped, and the screw-down panel.
A metal roof on a home here is either standing seam or a stamped profile. The screw-down panel that shows up on cheaper quotes is a different product, built to a lower spec.
Standing seam
Concealed fasteners, panels the length of the roof
Each panel is formed from American sheet steel and runs ridge to edge in one piece, locked to the deck with clips hidden inside the seam. Nothing penetrates the panel face, which removes the two parts that fail first on screw-down metal: sun-aged gaskets and exposed screw heads. As the panels expand through the heat of the day they move on their clips; a screw-down panel takes that movement at every screw. This profile comes in steel or aluminum.
Stamped steel, TimberSteel
The strength of steel in a traditional profile
GAF's TimberSteel system stamps steel into the shape of a traditional roof rather than a ribbed panel, for owners who want the service life of metal. Because we hold GAF's Metal Certified credential, our installs qualify for the ArmorPledge warranty.
Exposed fastener
The lower-cost panel, and where we use it
Screw-down metal costs less because the panels are simpler to form and faster to hang. We install these systems on outbuildings and budget-driven jobs.
Aluminum or steel, built to the wind code.
We run aluminum sheet, which does not rust, with corrosion-resistant hardware at every clip and closure, because corrosion starts at a roof's smallest metal parts. We also run coated steel: stronger per dollar, protected by a factory-baked finish that keeps its color under this sun.
The county's design wind speeds are among the highest in the country, and a metal roof here is engineered as one assembly, the panel and its fastening schedule together, to meet the wind-uplift standard the code sets for coastal Palm Beach County. The systems we install carry Miami-Dade product approvals.
What the warranty says.
Stamped TimberSteel installs qualify for GAF's ArmorPledge. These are the terms as GAF publishes them today.
Term
Lifetime, meaning as long as the original owner keeps the house. That definition covers single-family detached homes owned by individuals. Any other owner or building type carries a 40-year term instead.
Materials
50 years paid at full value, with tear-off and disposal included.
Workmanship
30 years on the installation itself.
Wind
15 years, with no maximum wind speed written into the coverage.
Hail
15 years.
Finish
30 years against fading and chalking. Rustic Red runs 20.
Who can offer it
Only a GAF Metal Certified contractor can register it. We hold that certification.
Standing seam sits outside the ArmorPledge program. On a seam roof the panel finish carries the manufacturer's own written warranty and the installation carries ours. Ask any roofer for both documents before you sign. Our GAF certification page explains what the Metal Certified requirement means in practice.
What metal costs.
Metal costs more than shingle up front. The panels cost more and the labor runs slower because the tolerances are tighter.
A shingle roof in Florida sun eventually gets replaced again, and metal skips that second job. The finish trims the cooling bill along the way, and when the roof does finally come off, the panels get recycled.
For the owner who stays put, the math works. If you plan to sell within a few years, shingle may serve the sale just as well.
Our cost page sets out how we price the work, and our financing page covers the ways owners pay for it, including Florida PACE for qualifying projects.
Metal is one answer of three.
Clay and concrete tile holds its color for decades. Architectural shingle is the quickest install and the least expensive. The residential roofing page compares the three side by side, and the roof replacement page covers the whole job.
