Roof types
Metal roofs in Miami-Dade
Metal roofs cost more up front but can last a long time and reflect heat. Near the water, the right material and finish matter.
Good to know
- Standing-seam panels with concealed fasteners are a common choice; exposed-fastener (5V) panels cost less.
- Panels, clips and fasteners must match the NOA assembly approved for the HVHZ.
- Salt air: ask about material (for example aluminum vs. coated steel) and finish for coastal homes.
Cost
Published 2026 South Florida ranges for installed metal run about $9.45–$16.80 per square foot (RoofVista, Republic, Roof Observations) — published ranges, not our prices. Tile vs. shingle vs. metal roof cost in South Florida
