  If any of you guys are in need of a roofer in this area I cannot recommend Wescon Construction enough. From the estimate to the guys busting their humps in the late June early July Florida heat, all the way to the ease with which all the necessary steps were handled. They left my yard and driveway looking better than before they started and the price was definitely right. 2 days from start to finish and I have a big roof. Two thumbs up from me.

Types of Metal Roofs We Install

Wescon installs two kinds of metal roofs: standing seam and stone-coated metal tile. Both stand up to hurricane-force winds, and both last 40 to 50 years. Each one comes in two metals. Inland homes get Galvalume steel, a steel panel with a protective coating. Homes within 1,500 feet of salt water or brackish water get .032 aluminum, because salt air rusts steel. The right pick comes down to two things: the look you want, and what your HOA allows.

Standing Seam Metal Roofs

Standing seam roofs have a clean, modern look. Long metal panels run from the top of the roof down to the edge. The edges lock together to form raised seams. Hidden clips under the seams hold the panels in place, so no screws sit out in the sun and rain. Exposed screws are the most common cause of metal roof leaks. Standing seam roofs remove that problem, so they rarely leak and need almost no upkeep.

Stone-Coated Metal Tile Roofs

Metal tile roofs look like barrel tile or wood shake, but they are built from steel. Each panel is coated with stone granules to give it that classic tile look. You get the style of a tile roof with the strength of metal. Many HOAs do not allow the modern panel look. Metal tile keeps the classic style, so it is a popular pick in HOA communities like Suntree, Viera, and Baytree.

Feature	Standing Seam	Stone-Coated Metal Tile

Best for	A modern look with the least upkeep	HOA communities and classic home styles

Why Install a Hurricane-Resistant Metal Roof in Brevard County?

When you hire experienced metal roof installers, you get a roofing system built to handle Florida’s toughest weather - hurricanes, tornadoes and extreme afternoon storms that Central Florida is famous for. Installed correctly by local experienced roofers, you can expect:

Extreme Wind Resistance

Metal roofs are engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds up to 140+ mph, making them the safest option for coastal Florida homes.

Energy Savings

Metal panels reflect the harsh Florida sun instead of absorbing it. This keeps your attic cooler and lowers your monthly air conditioning bills.

Long Term Durability

While a standard shingle roof might need replacing in 15 years, a properly installed metal roof lasts 40 to 50 years with minimal maintenance.

Increased Property Value

Florida buyers love a home they don’t have to worry about. A premium metal roof instantly upgrades your home’s curb appeal with a modern minimalist style, offers decades of hurricane-ready protection, and adds thousands of dollars to your resale value.

Insurance Savings

Upgrading to a hurricane-rated metal roof protects more than just your family—it protects your wallet. These roofs easily pass strict wind mitigation inspections, qualifying your home for substantial yearly premium discounts.

Metal Roof vs. Shingle Roof: What’s the Difference?

A metal roof installation for any home or business in the Space Coast has lots of key benefits when compared to shingle. Here’s a quick comparison to show why metal roofing is a strong long-term investment for Melbourne homeowners.

Feature	Metal Roof	Asphalt Shingle
Average Lifespan	50+ years	15–25 years
Wind Resistance	Up to 140 mph	60–130 mph (based on type of shingle)
Energy Efficiency	Reflects sunlight; can lower A/C costs	Absorbs heat
Maintenance Needs	Minimal	Moderate to frequent
Resale Value	High	Moderate

Steel vs. Aluminum: Which Metal Is Right for Your Home?

Not all metal roofs are the same. Where your home is located in Brevard County determines which material you must use. As expert roofing contractors, we guide you to the exact material required for your location and warranty.

Galvalume (Steel) Metal Roofs (24 or 26-gauge)

Galvalume steel is the most popular choice for metal roof installations. It is incredibly strong, comes in 24-gauge and 26-gauge thickness options, and is more affordable than aluminum. We highly recommend steel for homes in mainland cities and neighborhoods like Palm Bay, Suntree, and West Melbourne.

Aluminum Metal Roofs (.032)

If you live on the coast, salt in the air causes steel to rust. If your home is within 1,500 feet of the ocean, intracoastal, or brackish water (such as in Cocoa Beach or Satellite Beach), manufacturers require you to use aluminum at a .032 thickness to validate your warranty. Aluminum is 100% rust-proof, making it the required choice for waterfront homes.
