Miami-Specific FAQs
🔍 Will a metal roof make my house hotter?
No! Modern reflective coatings (like Kynar) keep homes 10-15°F cooler than dark asphalt roofs. See FPL study.
🏠 Can I install metal over my existing roof?
Yes! Most Miami homes qualify for overlay installation, saving $2K-$4K in tear-off costs. (Excludes compromised structures).
⚡ Does metal attract lightning?
Myth. Metal roofs don’t increase lightning strikes—and can safely dissipate energy if hit (per NFPA standards).
💸 Is metal worth the higher upfront cost?
Absolutely. With 50+ year lifespan and energy savings, the ROI is 3x better than asphalt over time.
🌀 How does it handle Category 5 hurricanes?
Our installed systems are tested to 184 mph (beyond Miami-Dade’s 160 mph requirement). See test video.
