Standing-seam & metal shingle systems
Metal roofs for Florida.

Metal systems we install
Three metal categories for Florida homes.
Metal isn’t one thing — standing-seam and metal shingle are different products with different price points, aesthetics and installation methods. We’ll show you actual samples during the inspection.
Standing-seam metal
The pro-grade metal system. Interlocking panels, concealed fasteners, industry-leading wind and water performance. Modern, clean aesthetic.
Metal shingles
Metal panels shaped like traditional shingles or tile — the metal advantage with a look that matches traditional architecture.
Coastal-rated systems
Aluminum or coated systems specifically rated for salt-air exposure, essential within a few miles of the coast.
Why metal in Florida
Four reasons Florida homeowners keep switching.
Hurricane-grade wind ratings
Top-tier metal systems carry the highest wind-uplift ratings available for residential roofing — a real difference in Florida wind zones.
40–70 year lifespan
The longest-lifespan residential roof. Well-installed metal often outlives two shingle roofs.
Insurance premium benefits
Many carriers offer premium discounts for wind-mitigation-rated metal systems — ask your agent before you file.
Solar-panel ready
Standing-seam metal is the preferred substrate for solar — panels can be clamped without penetrating the roof.
How it works
Four steps to a metal roof.
-
Free inspection
Roof geometry, existing substrate, exposure and any wind-mitigation opportunities.
-
System selection
We show you actual metal samples, walk through cost/lifespan tradeoffs, and write the itemized quote.
-
Schedule + permits
Metal has longer material lead times than shingle. We give you a real start date at contract signing.
-
Install & warranty
Precision-cut and installed to manufacturer spec. Warranty documents delivered at closeout.
What’s included in every metal install
The line items that separate a good metal install from a leaky one.
- Full tear-off of the old system
- Deck inspection and repair as needed
- High-temp synthetic underlayment (metal-specific)
- Panels cut and formed to your roof geometry
- Concealed-fastener install (on standing-seam systems)
- New flashings, drip edge, and ridge closures matched to the panel finish
- Manufacturer material and finish warranty (typically 30–50 years)
- Castilla workmanship warranty
- Final inspection + photo archive at closeout

Metal Roofing FAQ
Is metal loud when it rains?
No. Modern metal roofs are installed over a full underlayment and (usually) a solid deck — the sound is not meaningfully louder than shingle. The old “rain-on-tin-roof” sound comes from open-deck barns, not residential installations.
Does metal get too hot in Florida sun?
Reflective metal finishes actually reduce heat gain compared to dark shingle, and can lower cooling costs. Cool-roof-rated metal is available if energy performance is a priority.
How much more does metal cost than shingle?
Typically 2–3× the cost per square foot upfront. Over the full life of the roof (metal often lasts 2–3× longer than shingle), the per-year cost is often comparable or lower — and that’s before insurance and energy benefits.
Will metal rust in coastal salt air?
Standard steel systems within a few miles of the coast can corrode. We install coastal-rated aluminum or specifically-coated steel systems for salt-air exposure — the correct product choice is what prevents rust.
Can lightning strike a metal roof?
Metal roofs do not attract lightning. If lightning does strike, metal actually disperses the energy safely (better than combustible materials). This is a persistent myth — not a real concern.
Can I get solar with a metal roof?
Yes, and standing-seam metal is the preferred solar substrate. Panels clamp directly to the seam without roof penetrations, which preserves warranty and simplifies future maintenance.
