Standing seam, 5V, stone-coated. Most people searching this want to compare metal against shingle or tile with real numbers for their house — that's what you'll get, in writing, from a licensed Florida roofing contractor.
Get a written quoteexpect 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.
Every roofer we match you with holds an active Florida Certified or Registered Roofing Contractor license (CCC or RC number) verifiable on the DBPR license portal. Storm season runs June 1 through November 30, with the Gulf and Atlantic coasts both exposed.
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.
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.
