New Metal Roofing in Alachua, FL
This project involves replacing a shingle roof that has been protecting the home since 1995 with a new metal roofing system. After nearly three decades of service, the homeowner decided it was time to move away from shingles and invest in a roofing system designed for greater longevity and lower maintenance. The new roof will feature 26-gauge ribbed metal panels in a mill finish. Unlike shingles, metal roofing requires every panel to be measured and manufactured for a specific section of the roof before installation begins. This project includes well over 100 custom-cut panels, including several runs approaching 40 feet in length. Projects of this size require extensive planning to ensure each section fits correctly and water sheds properly across the entire roof surface. Beyond the field panels themselves, the roof also includes a large amount of supporting trim and flashing components. Ridge caps, drip edge, gable trim, transition pieces, and custom flashing all work together to seal roof transitions and protect vulnerable areas from water intrusion. These details are a major part of what makes a properly installed metal roof perform for decades. Converting from a 1995 shingle roof to a modern metal roofing system is a significant upgrade. Once completed, the home will have a durable roofing system built to handle Florida heat, heavy rain, and seasonal storms while providing a clean appearance and long-term protection for years to come. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHhf84HaJVJcpeiy7
