Additionally, the region faces significant hurricane exposure and high humidity year-round, demanding robust materials and installation techniques that can withstand extreme weather and prevent moisture-related issues common in the area’s building stock.

What to keep in mind locally

Building owners should select metal roofing and fabrication materials specifically rated for coastal environments to ensure longevity against salt spray and humidity.
Proper installation is critical to withstand high winds and driving rain common during hurricane seasons.
