In most cases, a metal roof costs more up front. The gap comes from materials, labor, and the size and shape of your roof. Lifespan and upkeep then change how that price looks over the years.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains where the difference comes from and what a complete quote should list. ASP Superhome handles metal roofing, <a href=\"\/guides\/tile-roofing-south-florida\/tile-roofing\/\">tile roofing<\/a>, roof replacement and roof repair. It serves homeowners in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Kendall, Naples, Fort Myers and Boca Raton.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Metal Roof Is and Who It Suits<\/h2>\n<p>A metal roof is a roof system built from steel or aluminum panels or metal shingles. It is fastened to the roof deck, the structural base under the roofing. Common styles include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Standing seam panels:<\/strong> long panels with raised seams that lock together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corrugated or ribbed panels:<\/strong> a simple, ribbed look often seen on sheds and some homes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Metal shingles and tiles:<\/strong> styles that resemble traditional roofing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Asphalt shingles are different. They are small, overlapping pieces with a mat and asphalt coating, nailed in rows. Most metal panels are longer and attach with screws or clips.<\/p>\n<p>Metal tends to suit three kinds of homeowners. The first plans to stay in the home for many years. The second has a roof exposed to heavy sun and storms. The third is willing to pay more up front for a longer expected service life. ASP Superhome offers metal roofing and tile roofing, along with <a href=\"\/guides\/roof-replacement\/\">roof replacement<\/a> and roof repair.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an aging roof has you weighing metal against asphalt, our team can walk through both options with you.

The metal and its finish cost more than asphalt shingle materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Labor.<\/strong> Metal panels need careful measuring, cutting and fastening. Crews must follow the manufacturer&#8217;s installation instructions closely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Size and slope.<\/strong> Larger roofs cost more for both materials and labor. Steeper slopes take more time and safety work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complexity.<\/strong> Multiple roof planes, valleys, skylights and vent pipes add cutting and flashing work for either material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local labor rates.<\/strong> Labor prices vary by county, so the same roof can price differently across South Florida and Southwest Florida.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build your own comparison.<\/strong> Use this format on any two written quotes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Total roof area, in squares (100 square feet each).<\/li>\n<li>Material cost for each option.<\/li>\n<li>Labor cost for each option.<\/li>\n<li>Tear-off, permits and extras.<\/li>\n<li>Upfront difference: metal total minus asphalt total.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Lining the numbers up in columns shows exactly where the gap sits.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Complete Quote Should Include<\/h2>\n<p>A complete quote lists every component, the tear-off choice, permits and warranties on their own lines.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tear-off or overlay.<\/strong> A tear-off removes the old roofing down to the deck. An overlay installs new roofing over the existing layer. Under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridabuilding.org\/fbc\/thecode\/2026_Code_Development\/Analysis_Code_Changes\/Analysis_of_changes_9th_Edition-2026-FBC-Residential.pdf#page=21\">2026 Florida residential code analysis<\/a>, the upper covering may be removed during recovering only when the existing or repaired base is adequate for the new roof.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Underlayment.<\/strong> Underlayment must lap over hips and ridges at least 6 inches, except where ventilation openings are provided, per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridabuilding.org\/fbc\/thecode\/2026_Code_Development\/Analysis_Code_Changes\/Analysis_of_changes_9th_Edition-2026-FBC-Residential.pdf#page=18\">2026 residential underlayment analysis<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flashing.<\/strong> Metal roof panel flashing must follow the manufacturer&#8217;s installation instructions, under the same 2026 residential analysis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Edge metal, ridge, valleys and fasteners.<\/strong> Ask for each item, with its material type and quantity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Permits, inspections and disposal.<\/strong> Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0500-0599\/0553\/Sections\/0553.79.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 553.79<\/a>, an enforcing agency may not issue any permit for construction, erection, alteration, modification, repair, or demolition of any building until the appropriate firesafety inspector certified pursuant to s. 633.216 has reviewed the plans and specifications and found that they comply with the Florida Fire Prevention Code and the Life Safety Code, but a building or structure that is not subject to a firesafety code does not need its plans reviewed by the firesafety inspector. A building or structure that is not subject to a firesafety code does not have to have its plans reviewed by the firesafety inspector.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warranties.<\/strong> List material and workmanship warranties separately, with the terms of each.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read any written quote against this list, including ours. If a line is missing, ask the team to add it.<\/p>\n<h2>Lifespan and Maintenance: Comparing Cost Over Time<\/h2>\n<p>Metal roofs often last longer than asphalt shingles, but lifespan depends on installation and upkeep. Asphalt shingle life varies with product quality, installation and exposure to sun and storms.<\/p>\n<p>To compare fairly, divide each option&#8217;s total cost by its expected years of service. That gives you cost per year, which often tells a clearer story than upfront price alone.<\/p>\n<p>Routine care applies to both systems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inspect after major storms for lifted or missing pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Check sealant, fasteners and flashing around vents and edges.<\/li>\n<li>Clear debris and clean gutters so water drains freely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Repairs differ.<\/strong> A damaged metal panel often needs replacing, and the new piece must match the profile and finish. A damaged asphalt shingle is usually swapped piece by piece.<\/p>\n<h2>Insurance, Energy Use and Resale Value<\/h2>\n<p>Insurers may consider roof material and wind resistance, but the discount amount is set by the insurer and the policy. Florida law requires insurers to notify policyholders about available premium discounts for construction that reduces windstorm loss. Insurers also use a uniform mitigation verification form to factor wind discounts. Your policy&#8217;s terms decide what applies to your home.<\/p>\n<p>Light, reflective finishes reflect more sun than dark ones. That can ease heat in the attic during a long South Florida summer.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers and appraisers look at roof age, condition and curb appeal. A newer, well-kept roof helps a home look cared for. Roof style matters too, so choose a profile that fits your home&#8217;s architecture. If you plan to sell soon, weigh the upfront cost against how long you expect to stay.<\/p>\n<h2>Wind Performance and Permits in South Florida<\/h2>\n<p>Florida roofs must resist wind, and the Florida Building Code sets the rules for it. Under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridabuilding.org\/fbc\/thecode\/2026_Code_Development\/Analysis_Code_Changes\/Analysis_of_changes_9th_Edition-2026-FBC-Building.pdf#page=52\">Florida Building Code wind rules<\/a>, roofs must comply with all of Section 1504, which covers wind resistance.<\/p>\n<p>During Hurricane Ian in Southwest Florida, roof coverings were assessed in <a href=\"https:\/\/ibhs.org\/wind\/building-performance-in-sw-florida-during-hurricane-ian-2022-part1-roof-cover-assessment\/\">IBHS research<\/a>. The study also reports observed damage rates for metal roofs.<\/p>\n<p>Products also need approval. Palm Beach County applies Florida&#8217;s statewide product-approval system to metal roofing, per its <a href=\"https:\/\/discover.pbc.gov\/pzb\/building\/pages\/product-approval.aspx\">product approval page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Partial roof work can fall under code requirements that depend on the existing section, so our team can review the details of your roof with you.<\/p>\n<p>Many owners plan <a href=\"\/guides\/impact-windows\/\">impact windows<\/a> and <a href=\"\/guides\/impact-doors\/\">impact doors<\/a> alongside a roof project. ASP Superhome offers both, so the work can be planned together.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Not sure what your next step is?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+17869339815\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aspsuperhome.com\/contact\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How the Estimate Process Works, and Why ASP Superhome<\/h2>\n<p>The first consultation is free, confidential and comes with no obligation to continue.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>First consultation.<\/strong> Talk through your roof, your timeline and your goals with the team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>On-site review.<\/strong> The team checks roof slope, number of existing layers, penetrations and access.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Written quote.<\/strong> You receive materials, labor, tear-off or overlay, permits and warranty terms on separate lines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Options and scheduling.<\/strong> Review metal and asphalt options together, and schedule work only if you choose to go ahead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>ASP Superhome brings several home projects under one name.
