Looking for metal roofing in Sanibel? Most people who land here want to compare metal against shingle or tile with real numbers for their house. That's what this page is for.
Get a written quotePlank decking instead of plywood is common in this era, and it's the reason a quote must price decking replacement per sheet up front. Most homes predate 1980, so many are on their third or fourth roof and code limits on layers become a real constraint at tear-off. A sealed roof deck — peel-and-stick underlayment over every seam — earns secondary water resistance credit on the wind mitigation form and is worth asking for by name.
On cost: 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
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.
Better than shingle for punctures; it can dent cosmetically in large hail. Some Texas carriers exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check the policy before you switch.
