About this service

What metal roof installation Cutler Bay FL actually involves

Metal roof installation is the process of stripping your old covering, repairing or replacing the deck, laying a high-temp underlayment, and mechanically fastening interlocking steel or aluminum panels to your roof structure. In Cutler Bay, that means panels rated for 140 mph wind uplift, fastened with corrosion-resistant screws into the deck or purlins, with flashing, drip edge, and ridge caps sealed to Miami-Dade County NOA specifications. We use standing seam panels on most homes because the concealed fasteners eliminate the leak points that exposed-fastener roofs develop after a decade of sun.

Most Cutler Bay homeowners call us for one of three reasons: their asphalt shingles are 18 to 22 years old and starting to shed granules, they just got a wind mitigation report that killed their insurance discount, or a storm peeled back part of the roof and the patch never held. A metal roofing installation in Cutler Bay also makes sense on the older concrete-block homes around Saga Bay and Cutler Ridge, where the original roof framing handles the extra load without modification. If you have been searching for metal roof installation near me in Cutler Bay FL, we cover every neighborhood from Old Cutler Bay to Bayshore.

What's included

What our metal roof installation includes

Our metal roof installation is a complete system, not just panels screwed to a deck. The price covers tear-off of the old covering, deck inspection and repair up to a stated allowance, new underlayment and flashing, the metal panels, ridge caps, and full cleanup. Permits and the final inspection are handled by us. Add-ons like skylight replacement or gutter work are priced separately and only if you want them.

01
✓

Tear-off and disposal

We strip the old shingles, tiles, or metal, remove the old underlayment and flashing, and haul everything off in a roll-off container. The deck gets inspected sheet by sheet, and any rot or delamination is replaced before the new roof goes on.

02
✓

Underlayment and ice shield

A high-temp ice and water shield goes in the valleys and along the eaves, with synthetic underlayment across the field. This is the layer that keeps water out if a panel is ever breached, and it is where cheap roofers cut corners.

03
✓

Metal panels and fastening

We install standing seam or exposed-fastener panels cut to length, aligned to a chalk line, and fastened to the manufacturer's spec with color-matched corrosion-resistant screws. Standing seam panels are power-seamed for a locked, concealed-fastener finish.

04
✓

Flashing and penetrations

New roof flashing is fabricated or fitted around chimneys, vent stacks, and wall intersections, and new drip edge runs the full perimeter. Sealed penetrations are the number one source of metal roof leaks, so we treat them as their own step.

05
✓

Ridge vents and caps

Ridge vents and caps close the top of the roof and give the attic a path to exhaust hot air. We match the vent profile and color to the panels so the finished roof reads as one continuous system from the street.

06
✓

Cleanup and documentation

We run a magnetic sweeper across the lawn and driveway, blow out the gutters, and walk the finished roof with you. You get photos of the deck, underlayment, and fastening pattern, plus the manufacturer warranty paperwork.

How it works

How our metal roof installation process runs

We walk the roof, check the deck from the attic side, and measure pitch, square footage, and penetration count. A moisture meter tells us whether the decking is sound or needs replacement. You get a written scope and a fixed price, usually the same day. This takes 45 to 90 minutes.

The crew strips the old shingles or tiles, removes the old underlayment and flashing, and hauls it off in a roll-off container. We inspect every sheet of decking and replace rot or delamination with new plywood. Most residential tear-offs run one to two days for a single-story home.

We lay a high-temp ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, then a synthetic underlayment across the field. New drip edge goes on, and we fabricate or fit new roof flashing around chimneys, vents, and wall intersections. This stage is where leak-free roofs are won or lost.

Panels are cut to length, lifted, aligned to a chalk line, and fastened with color-matched screws into the deck or purlins. Standing seam panels are then seamed with a power seamer. Ridge vents and caps close the top. A typical Cutler Bay home takes three to five days for this stage.

We run a magnetic sweeper across the lawn and driveway to catch stray screws and nail heads, blow off the gutters, and walk the finished roof with you. You get photos of the deck, the underlayment, and the fastening pattern, plus the manufacturer warranty paperwork in your hand.

Tools & methods

Tools and methods we use on metal roofs

01
✓

Standing seam power seamer

Locks the raised seam on standing seam panels after they are placed, creating the concealed-fastener joint that keeps water out. Hand-seaming a full roof is slow and inconsistent, so we run a power seamer on every standing seam job.

02
✓

Roofing nail gun and pry bar

Used during tear-off and deck repair to pull old fasteners and set new decking. The pry bar gets under stubborn shingle courses and old flashing without tearing up sound decking underneath.

03
✓

Chalk line and tape measure

Panel alignment starts with a chalk line snapped square to the ridge. If the first panel is off, every panel after it is off, so we measure twice and snap once before any panel goes up.

04
✓

Ladder and roof harness

Fall protection on a pitched roof is not optional. Every crew member is tied off on a harness when working near the edge or on any pitch steep enough to slide.

05
✓

Moisture meter

We read the deck and framing with a moisture meter during the estimate and again after tear-off. It tells us whether the decking is sound or hiding rot that would compromise the new roof's fastening.

06
✓

Magnetic sweeper and leaf blower

After the last panel is set, the sweeper picks up stray screws and nail heads from the lawn and driveway, and the blower clears gutters and planting beds. You should not find a screw in your tire a week later.

Real results

Before and after.

Saga Bay shingle to standing seam
Metal roof installation

Saga Bay shingle to standing seam

A 1,900 square foot home with 19-year-old asphalt shingles, missing tabs on the south slope, and a leak staining the hallway ceiling. The deck had two sheets of rot near the valley from years of trapped water.

After: We tore off the shingle, replaced the rotten decking, and installed a standing seam metal roof with new underlayment, flashing, and ridge vents. The job took five days, and the attic now runs 12 degrees cooler on a July afternoon.

Coral Bay salt-air panel repair
Metal roof installation

Coral Bay salt-air panel repair

A waterfront home with a 12-year-old metal roof where the fasteners had corroded and three panels had pulled loose at the eave. Two small leaks had already stained the ceiling in the back bedroom.

After: We replaced the corroded fasteners with coated ones, resealed every penetration, and swapped the three failed panels. The repair cost a fraction of a full replacement and the roof is watertight again.

Southland Mall commercial re-roof
Metal roof installation

Southland Mall commercial re-roof

A low-slope commercial building with a failing membrane, ponding water near the drains, and recurring leaks that had been patched four times in three years. Tenants were complaining about ceiling stains.

After: We installed a metal roof system engineered for the building's wind zone, corrected the drainage so water moves off the roof, and finished in under two weeks. Two storm seasons later, no leaks and no emergency calls.

Problems we solve

Problems our metal roof installation solves

Most Cutler Bay roofs fail for the same handful of reasons: age, wind, water, and heat. Here is what we see on estimates every week and how a new metal system puts each problem to bed.

01

Shingles shedding granules after 18 years

We tear off the dead shingle, inspect the deck, and install a metal system rated for 40 to 60 years. No granules to shed, no asphalt to bake, and the reflective finish keeps the attic cooler from day one.

↗
02

Wind uplift lifting tabs and panels

Our metal panels are tested to 140 mph wind uplift and fastened to Miami-Dade County NOA schedules. We photograph the fastening pattern so there is a documented record for your wind mitigation report.

↗
03

Flashing failure around chimneys and vents

We fabricate or fit new flashing at every penetration and seal it to manufacturer spec. Then we water-test the details before the job is closed out, so the leak is fixed at the source instead of patched from inside.

↗
04

Fascia rot and soffit damage from overflow

We install new drip edge with the metal roof and correct the drainage path so water leaves the roof instead of running behind the fascia. If there is existing rot, we flag it during the estimate so it is not a surprise.

Frequently Asked Questions

(855) 960-5906 →

Typical 2026 pricing in Cutler Bay runs $14 to $22 per square foot installed, so a 2,000 square foot roof lands between $28,000 and $44,000 depending on panel profile, pitch, and how much deck repair is needed. Standing seam sits at the top of that range; exposed-fastener panels sit lower. Tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and cleanup are included in our number.

A standing seam metal roof in Cutler Bay lasts 40 to 60 years, and the paint finish carries a manufacturer warranty of 30 to 40 years. Salt air near the bay does not rust aluminum or Galvalume panels, and there are no granules to shed the way shingles do. The fasteners and sealants are the parts that need a look every five to seven years.

Elyndor Forge Group installs metal roofs across Cutler Bay and Miami-Dade County, and we are a licensed Florida roofing contractor working to Miami-Dade County NOA approvals. We handle standing seam and exposed-fastener systems on residential and commercial buildings, and we pull the permit and schedule the inspection ourselves. Call (855) 960-5906 for a same-day estimate.

Yes, if you plan to stay in the home more than eight years. The up-front cost is roughly double shingle, but you get 40 to 60 years instead of 15 to 20, a cooler attic, and a roof that holds up to 140 mph wind uplift. Add the wind mitigation discount and the resale value, and the math works in this climate.
