When a Leaky Roof Becomes a Coastal Fortress

here’s a certain charm about homes in Palm Beach—white stucco walls, brick walkways, palm trees swaying in the breeze. But one thing that charm doesn’t cover? A roof that leaks every time it rains.

That’s what the Morris family was dealing with. After years of patching up old shingles, the storms finally won. Leaks around the dormers. Water stains on the ceiling. That unsettling sound of dripping at 2 a.m. Something had to give.

They needed a real fix. Not a temporary patch.
They needed Rhino Roofs.

A Close Look at the Problem

We got the call, rolled out the next morning, and got to work inspecting. That’s what we do—no waiting weeks, no phone tag.

Here’s what we found:

• Shingles were cracked, curling, and missing in spots
• Flashing around the dormers was loose and rusted
• Mold just starting to creep into the attic
• Roof deck was damp in a few key areas

After walking them through what we saw, it was clear: it was time to ditch the old roof and do it right.

Our Solution: A Matte Black Standing Seam Metal Roof

Now, Florida weather doesn’t play nice. You need a roof that holds up to wind, rain, sun, salt… and looks good doing it. That’s where standing seam metal comes in.

It’s not just about looks (though that matte black? Gorgeous). It’s about performance:

• Concealed fasteners = no leaks
• Wind rated to 180 mph
• Reflects heat to help cut cooling costs
• Built to resist salt and corrosion from coastal air

We fabricate all our panels on-site, which means no shipping delays, perfect fit, and everything cut to match the home exactly. Not just made-to-order—made-to-last.

The Game Plan

Once the Morrises gave us the green light, here’s how the install went down:

1. Tear-Off & Prep

Stripped that old roof off clean. Decking was in solid shape, just needed some sealing and reinforcement around those trouble areas.

2. Custom Roll-Forming

We pulled our equipment right up and formed the panels in the driveway. Zero waste. Zero wait.

3. Dormer Reinforcement

Those dormers had been leaking, so we gave them extra love—flashing tucked tight, sealed clean, checked twice.

4. Full Installation

Everything went smooth. The weather held up, our crew worked clean, and we wrapped the job up in under a week.

Why Metal Was the Right Move

Let’s break it down, Florida-style.

• Storm-Proof: It’s wind-rated to handle hurricanes. Real ones.
• Energy-Smart: Metal reflects sunlight, which keeps your attic (and your bills) cooler.
• Low Maintenance: Forget algae stains or broken shingles. Just rinse it down now and then.
• Great Curb Appeal: That black roof on white stucco? Looks sharp from every angle.

Neighbors even stopped by to ask if the Morrises had redone the whole house.

What the Homeowners Said

“It’s crazy how much better the house feels. No more worrying every time it rains. The crew was great, super respectful, and the roof looks amazing.”
