Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Lauderhill

Metal roofing and fabrication in Lauderhill, Florida, contends with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity and intense heat. Coastal proximity means exposure to salt air, which can accelerate corrosion on certain metals. The region also faces hurricane risks, requiring robust installation methods and materials designed to withstand high winds.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select metal roofing materials with high resistance to salt corrosion and UV exposure.
  • Ensure all installations meet or exceed local building codes for wind uplift resistance.
  • Regular inspections are recommended to identify any signs of corrosion or damage, especially after severe weather events.
  • Consider the thermal performance of the chosen metal to mitigate heat gain in the humid climate.

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.
