Metal roof installation for energy efficiency

Metal roof installation for energy efficiency

This homeowner in Altamonte Springs, Florida, was looking to upgrade from aging shingles to a more modern, energy-efficient solution that could handle Florida heat and save money long-term. After reviewing several options, we installed a sleek standing seam metal roof that not only boosted curb appeal but also cut down their cooling bill dramatically.

What we did

From stripping away the old shingles to laying down the last clean panel, this project was all about performance, protection, and style.

Roof tear-off and preparation

Out with the old, in with the cool (literally).

  • Removed all existing asphalt shingles and felt underlayment

  • Installed high-temperature underlayment to reduce attic heat transfer

  • Repaired minor sheathing rot near eaves

  • Prepped roof deck for metal panel installation

Metal roof installation

We brought clean lines and long-term performance to life.

  • Installed standing seam metal panels

  • Used hidden fasteners for a sleek, clean finish

  • Added custom-bent flashing and chimney flashing

  • Installed ridge vents and sealed all seams with high-temp sealant

Challenges we faced

Every roof tells a story. This one had a few chapters.

  • Uneven roof decking from previous repairs required some leveling

  • The client’s original color choice was delayed, so we sourced locally and found a better match

  • Nearby trees required extra debris protection during installation

Why this project stands out

This wasn’t just a new roof; it was a full performance upgrade for the home.

  • The high-temperature underlayment + metal combo significantly improved energy efficiency

  • Custom touches like chimney flashing and upgraded ridge vents ensured year-round performance

  • The new roof gave the home a crisp, modern profile and boosted the property value immediately

Final result

The home now features a striking, low-maintenance metal roof that’s ready for decades of Florida weather, heat, hail, and everything in between.
