How a 1” Standing Seam Metal Roof Gave One Home Long-Lasting Protection
Port St. Lucie, FL

Insurance companies don’t call every day offering to replace your roof. But when they do, you’ve got one shot to make the right call—and this Port St. Lucie homeowner did just that. Instead of going with a basic shingle replacement that’d need another do-over in 15-20 years, they chose to invest in something built to last: a 1” standing seam, 24-gauge metal roofing system.
They wanted durability, efficiency, and a roof that not only protects their home but looks sharp while doing it. And, well, that’s exactly what we do best.
Why Standing Seam Metal?
Metal roofing isn’t just a trend. It’s the gold standard for homeowners who want peace of mind. This customer wanted a roof that could handle Florida’s wild weather—scorching sun, torrential rains, hurricane-force winds—you name it.
Standing seam metal roofing is:
- Hurricane-rated – Engineered to withstand winds up to 150+ mph. No flying shingles, no worries.
- Long-lasting – Unlike asphalt, which deteriorates over time, our 24-gauge steel resists rust, corrosion, and cracking.
- Sleek & Modern – That clean, seamless look? It boosts curb appeal and raises home value.
- Low maintenance – Forget constant repairs. Once installed, you’re set for 50+ years.
- Energy efficient – Reflects heat, keeping homes cooler and energy bills lower.

Installation: Smooth, Efficient, Built for Life
This wasn’t a slap-it-on-and-go kind of job. Metal roofing requires precision.

Every panel was custom-fitted, locked into place, and secured using our expert standing seam technique—no exposed screws, no shortcuts. Just pure, Florida-built resilience.
