How a Rhino Roof Changed Everything for the Smiths in Port St. Lucie

When One Storm Too Many Pushes You to the Edge…

The Smith family had lived in their Port St. Lucie home for over a decade. It was cozy. Familiar. Filled with memories. But their roof? Not so much. After 15 years of Florida sun, hurricanes, and just plain wear and tear, those old shingles were barely holding on.

Then came the kicker.

Their insurance company sent a notice after a routine renewal inspection: Replace the roof or risk losing coverage.

Oof.

But that wasn’t the only thing weighing on them. Their power bills? Brutal. The attic felt like an oven, and their poor AC unit was running a marathon every day just to keep things bearable. And to top it all off, they were casually prepping to list the home within a year or so. Timing couldn’t have been worse—or, depending on how you look at it, better.

Enter Rhino Roofs

When the Smiths called us, they weren’t just looking for any roof. They needed peace of mind. A real solution. Something that would check every box—insurance, energy savings, curb appeal, and resale value.

So, we rolled up our sleeves (literally), gave them a full roof inspection, and helped them land on the perfect upgrade: a 1″ SnapLock standing seam metal roof, custom-fabricated right here in-house from 24-gauge Galvalume steel, topped with a sleek Matte Black Kynar 500® finish.

Yeah, it looked that good.

Let’s Break Down What Changed

This wasn’t a patch job. This was a full-on transformation. Here’s what we helped the Smiths achieve:

Insurance? Handled.

Our metal roofing system meets Florida’s strict wind uplift requirements, which means it checked every box their insurer needed. No coverage gaps. No panic. Just smooth sailing from here on out.

Summer Heat? Beat It.

That Galvalume steel paired with the Kynar 500® finish reflects a ton of that brutal Florida sun. Translation? Cooler attic, less strain on the AC, and yep—lower energy bills. The Smiths were shocked when their next bill came in.

Curb Appeal? Big Time Boost.

We’re talkin’ showstopper status. The matte black standing seam panels gave their home a bold, modern look that turned heads in the neighborhood. Friends started asking who did their roof. (Hint: 🦏)

Home Value? Up and Rising.

Metal roofing isn’t just durable—it’s valuable. It’s a major selling point in today’s market, especially in South Florida. When the Smiths do decide to list, that roof will help them stand out and negotiate with confidence.

Peace of Mind? Guaranteed.
