Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in Pinellas Park

Metal roofing and fabrication in Pinellas Park, Florida, contends with a challenging coastal environment. The proximity to the Gulf of Mexico means constant exposure to salt air, which can accelerate corrosion on certain metals. Additionally, the region is prone to hurricane-force winds and high humidity, requiring robust materials and installation techniques to withstand severe weather and the intense Florida heat.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select corrosion-resistant metal alloys suitable for coastal areas.
  • Ensure installation methods meet or exceed wind uplift resistance standards for hurricane zones.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance can prolong the lifespan of metal roofing and structures.
  • Consider the potential for increased cooling costs in older buildings due to heat absorption by metal surfaces.

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.
