Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Boynton Beach

Metal roofing and fabrication in Boynton Beach, Florida, 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 hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall, requiring robust installation methods and durable materials. The high humidity and intense Florida heat also impact material performance and installation processes, with building stock varying in age and construction type.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Select metal materials and finishes specifically designed to resist salt spray and coastal corrosion.
  • Ensure installation complies with high-wind standards and local building codes for hurricane preparedness.
  • Factor in the potential for increased maintenance due to humidity and salt exposure.
  • Consider the building’s existing structure and potential need for upgrades to support metal roofing or fabrication.

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.
