Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Orlando

Metal roofing and fabrication in Orlando, Florida, contends with significant humidity and intense heat year-round. While not directly on the coast, the region still experiences the effects of a subtropical climate, including heavy rainfall and the potential for hurricane-force winds. The existing building stock varies, with many structures built to withstand these environmental factors.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should consider the impact of high humidity on material longevity and potential for corrosion, especially for non-stainless steel fasteners.
  • Hurricane preparedness is crucial; metal roofing offers excellent wind resistance when properly installed and fastened.
  • The intense sun and heat can affect material expansion and contraction, requiring appropriate detailing and installation techniques.
  • Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the integrity of the roofing system against common weather challenges.

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.
