Florida’s Worst Weather
Built for Florida’s Worst Weather
Metal roofing holds up to Florida wind, hail, and storms better than almost any other residential material, and it’s becoming a more common choice across Tampa Bay as homeowners plan for the long term. Primmer Roofing installs standing-seam and metal panel systems, and repairs existing metal roofs after storm or wear damage.
Metal costs more upfront than shingle, but for homeowners planning to stay long-term, or looking to lower a homeowners insurance premium through better wind mitigation, it’s often the stronger investment. We’ll walk you through the real numbers, not just the pitch.
The layer nobody talks about
Metal needs a different underlayment than shingle
Standing seam cooks. The underlayment under those panels has to take heat, expansion, and condensation that a shingle deck never sees.
High-temp, not leftover felt
Metal roofs run hotter than asphalt. We use high-temperature underlayment so the layer under the panels does not dry out, slide, or get sticky in August.
Usually self-adhered
A peel-and-stick sheet bonds to the deck and stays put while panels go on. That also seals fastener lines and keeps a dry-in if a panel is waiting.
Condensation on the underside
Gulf air hits a cool metal pan and sweats. The underlayment and the panel profile have to manage that moisture, or it shows up in the attic.

Why metal holds up on the Gulf
Built for Florida wind
Standing-seam panels lock down and shed water in tropical storms better than a tired three-tab ever will.
Long service life
A properly detailed metal roof routinely outlasts shingle, with less tear-off waste over the life of the house.
Cooler attic
Reflective finishes bounce Gulf sun instead of soaking it up, which takes load off the AC in August.
Low maintenance
No granules to lose, no curling tabs. Keep fasteners, flashings, and sealant honest and the roof stays quiet.
Warranties
What is actually covered
Manufacturer finish coverage
Paint and substrate warranties are typically 30–40 years depending on the panel system we spec for your house.
Written in the proposal
Exact wind, puncture, and finish terms vary by product. We put the manufacturer coverage on paper before we order.
Primmer workmanship
Seams, trim, and penetrations are where metal roofs fail. Those details are covered by our tradesman warranty on the finished system.
Manufacturer warranties have terms, exclusions, and registration rules. We review the exact coverage with you before materials are ordered.

Common Questions
METAL ROOF FAQ
Is metal roofing worth the extra cost in Florida?
For many homeowners, yes, metal typically lasts 40-70 years and holds up to hurricane-force wind significantly better than shingle, which can also translate into insurance savings.
Is metal roofing loud in the rain?
Not when installed correctly, with proper decking and underlayment. That reputation comes from older or improperly installed systems, not the material itself.
