Metal Roofing
Built for Florida.
From premium standing seam to versatile exposed-fastener systems, Gravity Roofing helps homeowners choose a metal roof built around performance, style, long-term value, and the demands of Florida weather.
More Than a Different Look.
A metal roof changes more than your home's appearance. The panel system, fastening method, finish, and installation approach all work together to create a roof designed for long-term performance.
Built for Long-Term Ownership
Metal roofing is commonly chosen by homeowners who want a durable roofing system intended for long-term service.
Florida-Ready Protection
Approved metal roof assemblies are designed around demanding wind, rain, and weather conditions when installed to applicable Florida requirements.
Reflective Finish Options
Many available metal roof colors use reflective coatings designed to reduce solar heat absorption and perform in Florida's intense sun.
Clean Architectural Style
From sleek standing seam to classic 5V and ribbed profiles, metal roofing can complement both modern and traditional homes.
Fire-Resistant Material
Steel roofing is noncombustible, adding another durable layer of protection to a properly designed roof assembly.
Multiple System Choices
Homeowners can choose between premium concealed-fastener standing seam and more budget-conscious exposed-fastener systems.
Standing Seam
Concealed fasteners sit beneath the panel seams, creating the clean architectural appearance standing seam roofing is known for while allowing the panels to accommodate natural thermal movement.
Exposed Fastener
Also known as screw-down metal roofing, exposed-fastener systems secure the panel directly through its surface. They provide dependable metal protection with a lower initial investment than most standing seam systems.
Nothing Exposed.
Nothing Ordinary.
Standing seam metal roofing uses a concealed fastening system beneath the panel seams, creating a clean architectural roofline with no rows of exposed screws across the finished surface. It is a premium choice for homeowners focused on long-term performance, modern style, and reduced routine fastener maintenance.
Proven Metal Protection.
Smarter Entry Point.
Exposed-fastener roofing, sometimes called screw-down metal roofing, secures the panel directly through its surface. The fasteners remain visible after installation, creating the familiar look associated with traditional metal roofs. It is a practical way to get the durability and style of metal while keeping the initial investment below most standing seam systems.
Choose Your Panel Profile.

Popular Residential ChoiceA versatile ribbed metal panel that delivers a clean, familiar metal-roof appearance and works well across a range of residential styles.

Exposed Fastener?
| Feature | Standing Seam | Exposed Fastener |
|---|---|---|
| Fasteners | Concealed beneath the panel seams | Visible through the face of the panel |
| Appearance | Clean, premium architectural look | Traditional ribbed metal appearance |
| Thermal Movement | Designed to better accommodate panel expansion and contraction | Fastening method requires greater attention to fastener condition over time |
| Maintenance | Generally lower routine fastener maintenance | Visible fasteners and washers should be inspected periodically |
| Initial Investment | Higher | Lower |
| Best Fit | Long-term ownership, premium homes and architectural design | Homeowners wanting strong metal protection with a more accessible starting cost |
Exact specifications, available profiles, warranties and approved assemblies vary by material selection and project requirements.
Your Roof Doesn't
Have to Play It Safe.

A premium finish system designed for excellent color consistency and superior long-term fade and chalk resistance in demanding climates.
A Metal Roof
Is a System.
The panel matters, but so does everything beneath and around it. Wind design, fastening, deck attachment, flashing, penetrations, finish selection and installation details all affect performance.
Metal panel assemblies are selected according to applicable Florida approvals and project-specific installation requirements.
Available reflective coatings and high-performance finish systems are designed for demanding sun and weather exposure.
Flashing, laps, penetrations and attachment details matter just as much as the visible metal panel during severe weather.
Metal naturally expands and contracts. The system and fastening method determine how that movement is managed.
Homes closer to saltwater may require different material, coating or warranty considerations than inland properties.
The right material is only part of the equation. Installation must match the approved roof assembly and property conditions.
Gravity Roofing helps match the panel, finish and installation system to the home rather than treating every metal roof as one interchangeable product.
Different Roofs.
Different Priorities.
Metal is not automatically the right choice for every homeowner. The best roofing system depends on budget, design preference, ownership plans, maintenance expectations and the home itself.
