Metal Roofing Services
Metal roofing is the fastest-growing roofing choice in Florida — and the numbers explain why. With wind ratings up to 160 mph, a lifespan of 50+ years, and energy savings that lower your cooling bills year after year, metal delivers long-term value that no other material can match. Premium Roofing installs standing seam, corrugated, and 5V crimp metal roofs across Sarasota and the Gulf Coast.
Metal Roofing Options
We install every major metal roof profile, from premium standing seam to cost-effective corrugated.
Standing Seam
The premium choice in metal roofing. Standing seam panels feature raised seams that interlock vertically, creating a watertight barrier with no exposed fasteners. This hidden fastener system eliminates the most common failure point in metal roofing, resulting in a roof that performs for 50 years or more with virtually zero maintenance.
- Hidden fasteners
- Superior leak protection
- 50+ year lifespan
- Sleek modern look
Corrugated Metal
A time-tested profile that delivers excellent performance at a lower price point than standing seam. Corrugated panels feature a repeating wave pattern that adds rigidity and channels water efficiently. Popular for coastal homes, agricultural structures, and homeowners who want a traditional metal roof aesthetic.
- Affordable option
- Proven performance
- High wind resistance
- Quick installation
5V Crimp
A classic Florida profile that has been protecting Gulf Coast homes for decades. The five V-shaped ribs give this panel its name and its strength. 5V crimp is lightweight, easy to install, and offers a clean, understated appearance that works with both traditional and contemporary architecture.
- Classic Gulf Coast look
- Lightweight
- Cost-effective
- Easy to maintain
Metal Shingle / Stone Coated
For homeowners who want metal durability with the appearance of traditional tile or shingle. Stone-coated metal panels are stamped to replicate barrel tile, slate, or wood shake profiles, then coated with ceramic granules for a textured finish. You get the look of tile at a fraction of the weight.
- Tile/shingle appearance
- Fraction of tile weight
- Impact-resistant
- Color variety
Why Metal Roofing in Florida
Performance, efficiency, and longevity that makes metal the smartest roofing investment on the Gulf Coast.
Wind Resistance Up to 160 MPH
Metal roofing systems, particularly standing seam, are engineered to withstand the most severe hurricane-force winds. Interlocking panel designs and concealed fasteners prevent wind uplift that rips away shingles and tiles. For homeowners in Sarasota County, where Category 4 hurricanes are a real possibility, metal provides peace of mind that other materials struggle to match.
Energy Efficiency That Pays for Itself
Metal roofs reflect a significant portion of the sun's solar radiation rather than absorbing it. Cool-metal coatings can reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit compared to dark asphalt shingles. In Florida, where air conditioning accounts for a large portion of your energy bill, a reflective metal roof can reduce cooling costs by 10% to 25%.
50+ Year Lifespan
A properly installed metal roof will outlast two or three shingle roofs. Aluminum and galvalume steel resist corrosion in the salt-air environment along the Gulf Coast. Unlike tile, metal will not crack from impact or shifting. Unlike shingles, it will not lose granules, curl, or deteriorate from UV exposure. Once installed, it simply performs — decade after decade.
Lightweight Construction
Metal roofing weighs 1 to 3 pounds per square foot, compared to 8 to 12 pounds for concrete tile. This lighter load means less structural stress on your home, and in many cases metal can be installed over an existing roof without a tear-off, saving time and disposal costs.
100% Recyclable
Metal roofing is one of the most sustainable building materials available. At the end of its service life, metal panels are fully recyclable. Many metal roofing products are manufactured with 25% to 95% recycled content. For environmentally conscious homeowners, metal is the clear choice.

Our Metal Roofing Process
A transparent approach from initial inspection to your finished roof.
Roof Inspection
We inspect the existing roof structure, decking, and ventilation. For metal, we pay particular attention to deck flatness and the condition of the substrate, since metal profiles show imperfections more readily than tile or shingle.
Design & Estimate
We help you choose the right panel profile, material (aluminum, galvalume, or steel), color, and finish. You receive a detailed estimate covering materials, underlayment, flashing, trim, and labor.
Professional Installation
Our crew installs high-temperature underlayment, custom-fabricated flashing and trim, and your metal panels. Every fastener, seam, and penetration is sealed to prevent water intrusion. We protect your landscaping and property throughout.
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
We inspect the completed roof with you, checking every seam, fastener line, and flashing detail. You receive your 10-year workmanship warranty, manufacturer material warranty, and color finish warranty documentation.
Our Warranty Protection
Every metal roof we install is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty from Premium Roofing, covering installation and labor. This is paired with the manufacturer's material warranty, which typically ranges from 30 to 50 years for the panel substrate. Standing seam systems often include a separate paint/finish warranty of 25 to 40 years covering fading and chalking. You receive all warranty documentation at your final walkthrough.
