Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Boca Raton

Metal roofing and fabrication in Boca Raton contend with a challenging coastal environment. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean means constant exposure to salt air, which can accelerate corrosion on certain metals. Additionally, the region is prone to high winds and intense tropical storms, requiring robust installation methods and durable materials to withstand hurricane-force conditions. The subtropical climate also brings high humidity and intense heat, impacting material performance and installation timing.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Coastal environments necessitate specific material choices and finishes to combat salt spray corrosion.
  • Hurricane preparedness is paramount; ensure roofing systems are engineered to meet stringent wind load requirements.
  • Consider the building’s age and existing structure for optimal integration and performance of new metalwork.
  • Regular maintenance, especially in humid and salty air, can extend the lifespan and appearance of metal installations.

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.
