Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Kissimmee

Metal roofing and fabrication in Kissimmee, Florida, must contend with intense humidity and heat, common to Central Florida. While not directly on the coast, the region experiences significant hurricane exposure and can still be affected by salt air carried inland. The existing building stock varies, with many structures built in recent decades that may require specific considerations for integration with metal.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure proper ventilation to manage high humidity and prevent condensation buildup under metal roofing.
  • Select corrosion-resistant coatings and fasteners suitable for Florida’s climate, even inland.
  • Consider the potential for high winds during hurricane season and ensure secure installation methods.
  • Evaluate the existing roof structure for compatibility with the weight and fastening requirements of metal.

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.
