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) |

Types of Metal Roofs: Steel vs. Aluminum
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.
Steel vs. Aluminum Roofing
| Feature | Galvalume (Steel) | Aluminum (.032) |
|---|---|---|
| Best Location | Palm Bay, Melbourne, Viera | Within 1,500 ft of salt/brackish water |
| Rust Resistance | High | Will not rust |
| Price Point | More Affordable | Premium Investment |
| Warranty Requirements | Standard Manufacturer Warranty | Required for Coastal Warranties |

FAQs for Metal Roofing in Melbourne:
No. When installed properly over a solid wood roof deck and thick peel-and-stick underlayment, a metal roof is no louder than an asphalt shingle roof during a rainstorm.
