We look the roof over, photograph what we find and talk through whether metal makes sense for the house.
02
Standing seam panels
Panels with concealed fasteners, locked together at raised seams. Ask us about colors and profiles.
03
Exposed-fastener panels
Ribbed panels such as 5V crimp, fastened through the face of the metal. Ask us how they compare.
04
Switching from shingles
During a replacement the deck is checked and repaired first, then the underlayment and metal go on.
05
Flashing and trim
Walls, vents, valleys and roof edges get flashing and trim that fits the panels.
06
Metal roof repairs
Fasteners that backed out, dried sealant and loose flashing are fixed, with photos of what we found.
Your options
Standing seam,or exposed panel?
Both can keep rain out, but they age in different places.
Standing seam hides the fasteners, so there is less hardware out in the sun and rain to check.
Exposed-fastener panels need their fasteners and sealant checked over time, because Florida sun works on both.
We lay both out for your roof and tell you which one we would pick.
Standing seamConcealed fasteners and raised seams. Fits low slopes where shingles are not allowed.
Exposed-fastener panelsFastened through the face, as with 5V crimp. Fasteners and sealant need a look as the roof ages.
Metal roof repairBacked-out fasteners, dried sealant or loose flashing on a metal roof you already have.
Worth knowing
Florida allows standing seam metal on slopes as low as 1/4:12, flatter than any shingle roof can go.

“Rated 5 out of 5 stars.
I had an entire roof replaced and hurricane clips added to my home in Tampa.
Working with Omar Torres and U-First Roofing was exceptional from start to finish. The price was competitive, the workmanship was professional and highly skilled. Most importantly, the customer service was ecxellent. Omar kept me informed and engaged every step of the way and was also available to answer questions. His crew cleaned up the entire area, including using magnets to find stray nails. I also received a wind mitigation report to submit to my insurance company.
I highly recommend U-First Roofing.

Omar did an excellent job on my roof replacement. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive, and made the entire process easy. The work was completed efficiently, the crew did a great job, and everything was cleaned up afterward. I’m very happy with the quality of the work and would definitely recommend Omar to anyone looking for a reliable roofer!!

The roof needed replacement and these guys delivered! Great color selection on shingles. So happy with the quality and the extra peel and stick underlayment to ensure we're leak proof for the life of the roof.
