Get a written quoteSummer thunderstorms, not hurricanes, cause most of the roof damage here: straight-line wind, lightning strikes, and the occasional tornado embedded in a squall line. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.
What it costs in Umatilla: expect roughly two to three times the cost of architectural shingle for standing seam; exposed-fastener panels sit in between; the offset is a service life measured in decades and, in Florida, meaningful wind-mitigation credits.

How it works
Standing seam hides fasteners under the seam, so nothing penetrates the panel — that's why it carries the best wind ratings and longest warranties. Exposed-fastener (5V, R-panel) costs less and looks right on ranch and rural homes, but the screw gaskets need attention after 10–15 years.
Over a solid deck with underlayment, no louder than shingle. The tin-roof-in-a-storm sound comes from open-purlin barns with no decking.
