Metal Roofing in Melbourne

Reliable Metal Roof Installation & Repair Options for Coastal & Inland Properties

Metal roofing remains a smart choice for homeowners and businesses throughout Melbourne and the Space Coast. High humidity, intense heat, and seasonal storms require durable materials that last.

At Hippo Roofing LLC, we install metal roofing systems designed to perform in these conditions, providing reliable protection while still delivering appealing style. Over a decade ago, our team introduced our trademark, Metal Roof Same Price As Shingles™, proving that metal roofs offer impressive durability at a price point comparable to traditional shingles.

Property owners in Melbourne often select metal roofing because it meets Florida Building Code requirements and can handle challenging coastal winds. Building departments in the area require confirmed wind uplift ratings and salt-resistant materials—both features our panels deliver. These extra measures help extend the lifespan of your roof and may reduce the need for early replacements. Many metal roofing systems also qualify for insurance discounts, improving long-term savings for local homes and businesses.

If you're considering a replacement or exploring your Melbourne metal roofing options, we’re here to help. Call (321) 325-3339 or contact us online to get started. Se habla español.

Metal Roofing Systems We Install

DefenderRoof® & GuardianRoof™ Panels

Our exclusive metal systems, available in steel or aluminum, arrive pre-finished to fight corrosion and hold up well in coastal environments. These options combine performance with clean curb appeal for both homes and businesses.

DefenderRoof® & GuardianRoof™ feature interlocking panels that help stop water intrusion during heavy Space Coast rains and storm events. The baked-on finishes resist fading from the intense Florida sun. Each system gives you several color and profile choices to match the style of properties across Melbourne, from riverfront homes to commercial buildings.

Standing Seam Metal Roofs

With sleek lines and concealed fasteners, standing seam panels create a modern, polished appearance. They help lower the risk of leaks and perform well during changing weather.

Many in Melbourne prefer standing seam for its contemporary look and unmatched wind resistance. Mechanically locked seams help the roof withstand sudden gusts from hurricanes and summer storms. These features make them a dependable option for residential and commercial properties in areas affected by strong storms.

Corrugated Metal Panels

Ideal for agricultural spaces, outbuildings, or light commercial projects, corrugated metal features a classic look along with solid reliability and affordability.

Corrugated panels resist impacts and moisture, making them a top choice for warehouses, barns, and utility buildings in Brevard County. The panels’ ridges shed water quickly, offering reliable protection during heavy downpours typical across the Space Coast and requiring less maintenance compared to older roofing types.

Sherwin-Williams Coil-Coated Metal

For clients seeking color without sacrificing function, these coil-coated panels use baked-on finishes that withstand fierce sunlight and coastal weather.

These advanced surfaces resist fading and chalking, even during Florida’s strongest summers. Their resistance to salt corrosion makes them a strong option for properties in seaside neighborhoods where firm color consistency and curb appeal matter.

How Our Metal Roof Installation Process Works

Our process begins with a thorough assessment to pinpoint your roof’s needs, building structure, and unique features, including skylights or chimneys. We review material and finish options, outline the anticipated timeline, and prepare a custom plan that balances performance and appearance.

Once you confirm your preferred system, our team schedules installation and ensures all Melbourne permitting requirements are met. Crews take care not to disrupt landscaping and work efficiently. Project managers share updates throughout the job. After installation wraps up, we inspect every detail to confirm your new metal roof meets both manufacturer standards and the Florida Building Code. We also review roof care and maintenance steps with you so you can enjoy lasting performance.

Why Metal Roofing Makes Sense

Roofing must work with Florida’s challenging weather. People choose metal for its strength, weather resistance, and energy efficiency.

Homeowners in Melbourne see real energy savings because metal roofs reflect much of the sun’s heat. By keeping attics cooler in hot, humid summers, metal roofing systems can lower cooling bills and help create a more comfortable home environment, especially during the hottest months on the Space Coast.

Advantages include:

Reflects solar heat to help manage indoor temperatures
Performs well in high winds and debris-prone areas
Sheds water efficiently to help reduce moisture-related damage
Minimal maintenance needs compared to traditional materials

For homeowners who want an affordable metal roof option, ask about our DefenderRoof™ layover, installed over existing shingles using a durable synthetic underlayment. This method offers an efficient way to enjoy the lasting strength of a metal roof. In Melbourne and along the Atlantic coast, metal roofing systems often last two to three times longer than shingle or tile options. This extended lifespan leads to fewer replacements, which saves money and offers peace of mind in a region where storms and hurricanes are a regular concern.

Residential & Commercial Metal Roofing

Metal roofing isn’t only for warehouses or industrial facilities.

We install these roofs on:

Single-family homes and multifamily buildings
Office spaces and retail storefronts
Warehouses and light industrial facilities
Coastal properties exposed to salt air and storms

Our team will walk you through the available materials, profiles, and finishes to match your property’s needs and architecture. We also provide roof repairs, inspections, and general maintenance to keep your metal roofing system working well.

Many local property owners choose metal roofing to comply with strict wind and corrosion standards set by Brevard County and the City of Melbourne. Metal roofing stays popular for both new builds and re-roofing projects because of its reliability and compliance with regional requirements.

How Metal Roofing Stacks Up Against Shingle & Tile

Metal roofing provides clear advantages compared to shingle and tile roofs in the Melbourne area. While asphalt shingles are common, they tend to wear out quickly in Florida’s intense heat and humidity, often leading to quicker repairs and more replacements. Tile roofs, though strong, bring extra weight that may require reinforcements and increase construction costs, especially for Space Coast properties.

Metal panels are lighter than tile and usually last longer than asphalt shingles. They avoid cracking or warping in strong sun, so they deliver steady performance season after season. Many property owners appreciate metal roofing for its exceptional wind and impact resistance, especially during hurricane season. Some metal roofing systems also meet Florida’s strict wind-borne debris standards, making them an appealing choice for both homes and businesses across Brevard County.

Metal Roofing FAQs

How long do metal roofs usually last in the Melbourne, FL area?

Most quality metal roof systems last 40–70 years in Florida because they resist humidity, salt, and wind. While local conditions may require regular inspections, metal roofs generally outlast shingles and need fewer major repairs over time.

Are there local codes I should know about for metal roofing?

Melbourne and Brevard County follow the Florida Building Code, which outlines requirements for wind resistance, corrosion protection, and attachment methods. Your contractor will make sure your new metal roof meets or exceeds these regional standards for safety and compliance.

Can I install a metal roof over my existing shingles?

In many cases, you can place metal panels over an existing shingle layer when the structure is in good condition and meets local building codes. A contractor will always inspect your roof first to confirm eligibility for a layover installation. This approach can save time and lower waste.
