Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Jupiter

Metal roofing and fabrication in Jupiter, Florida, contends 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 hurricane activity, requiring robust installation methods and durable materials. High humidity and intense heat are also persistent factors affecting both the materials and the working conditions.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Choose corrosion-resistant metal alloys suitable for marine environments.
  • Ensure proper ventilation to mitigate humidity and heat buildup.
  • Verify that installation meets or exceeds wind uplift resistance standards.
  • Consider the potential for galvanic corrosion if dissimilar metals are used in proximity.

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.
