Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Hollywood

Hollywood, Florida’s coastal location subjects metal roofing and fabrication to significant challenges from salt air corrosion and intense hurricane exposure. The high humidity and heat further accelerate material degradation, while the proximity to the ocean versus inland areas can impact the severity of these conditions. Many buildings in Hollywood, Florida, particularly older structures, may require specialized attention due to their existing construction and potential for moisture-related issues.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should prioritize materials with high resistance to salt spray and wind uplift, especially in coastal zones.
  • Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to address potential corrosion and ensure long-term performance.
  • Ventilation and proper flashing are essential to manage humidity and prevent moisture buildup, which can affect both roofing and fabricated metal elements.
  • Consider the specific building code requirements for hurricane-prone regions when selecting materials and installation methods.

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.
