Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Hialeah

Metal roofing and fabrication in Hialeah, Florida, contends with a challenging subtropical climate characterized by high humidity, intense heat, and significant hurricane exposure. The proximity to coastal salt air, even for inland areas of the city, necessitates materials and finishes that can withstand corrosion and the effects of frequent, powerful storms. Many buildings in Hialeah, like much of South Florida, may have older construction that requires careful assessment before new metalwork is installed.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure all metal products and finishes are rated for coastal and high-wind environments to maximize longevity.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial to prevent corrosion from salt air and humidity, especially on exposed fasteners and edges.
  • Consider the thermal expansion and contraction of metal in extreme heat, ensuring proper installation techniques are used to accommodate movement.
  • Building codes in Hialeah often have specific requirements for wind resistance and material performance due to hurricane risk.

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.
