Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Apopka

Metal roofing and fabrication in Apopka, Florida, contends with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity and intense heat. While not directly on the coast, the region still experiences the effects of salt air carried inland, which can accelerate corrosion on metal. The area is also subject to hurricane exposure, requiring robust installation methods and materials to withstand high winds and driving rain. Many buildings in Apopka, like much of central Florida, may have older construction that needs careful assessment before new metalwork is applied.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure metal products are rated for coastal or high-humidity environments to prevent premature corrosion.
  • Factor in potential for strong winds and heavy rainfall during installation and material selection.
  • Consider the thermal expansion and contraction of metal in response to Apopka’s significant temperature fluctuations.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance can extend the lifespan of metal roofing and structures in this climate.

What the work involves

The process begins with inspecting the existing roof to ensure it is structurally sound and free of significant damage. If suitable, a layer of underlayment is applied, followed by the installation of the new metal roofing panels, which are typically fastened to the existing roof deck or to a newly installed purlin system.

When this comes up

  • When the existing roof has reached the end of its lifespan and requires replacement.
  • When the existing roof’s structure is deemed sound enough to support an additional layer.
  • When a building owner seeks to add the durability and longevity of a metal roof without the cost and disruption of a full tear-off.
  • When local building codes permit the installation of a metal roof over an existing layer.
