Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Deerfield Beach

Metal roofing and fabrication in Deerfield Beach, Florida, must contend with the persistent challenges of a coastal environment. The proximity to the 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 materials designed for high-wind zones. High humidity and intense heat are also daily factors impacting both material longevity and on-site work conditions.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select metal roofing and fabrication materials specifically rated for coastal environments to ensure longevity against salt spray and humidity.
  • Proper installation techniques that account for high wind loads and intense rainfall are critical for structural integrity during storm events.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance, particularly for fasteners and exposed edges, can help mitigate potential issues related to the corrosive atmosphere.
  • Consider the building’s existing structure and age to ensure compatibility with new metal installations and to address potential underlying issues.

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.
