Metal Roof Over Existing Roof in St. Cloud

In St. Cloud, Florida, metal roofing and fabrication projects must contend with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity and intense heat. The proximity to coastal influences, even inland, means exposure to salt air can accelerate corrosion, while the region’s susceptibility to hurricanes necessitates robust structural integrity for all metalwork.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select corrosion-resistant metal alloys suitable for humid, salt-influenced environments.
  • Ensure all metal installations meet or exceed local building codes for wind resistance, especially in hurricane-prone areas.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance of metal components can prolong their lifespan and prevent issues related to moisture and salt exposure.
  • Consider the thermal expansion and contraction of metal in response to St. Cloud’s significant temperature fluctuations throughout the year.

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.
