The benefits of a Painted Metal Roof for Your South Florida Property.

create • Jun 15, 2021

Painted metal roofs are one of the most widely installed roofs amongst property owners on the Treasure Coast and surrounding south Florida cities.  Our Modtek Roofing company in Vero Beach has been installing metal roofs for over 2 decades.  We recommend them to many of our customers because they are highly resistant to corrosion and fire, they are energy efficient, and they generally last 50+ years.

Purchasing a new metal roof is a big investment that many people take seriously!  After all, a roof protects your home, business, and valuable assets.  At Modtek Roofing, we recognize the financial sacrifice homeowners make to get the best possible roof for their needs and budget.  This is why we are diligent at every step of the roofing process. From the initial contact, down to ensuring you get the recommended warranties upon completion of the roof.

Consider a painted metal roof for your property.

Many South Florida residents and businesses opt for a painted metal roof.  This offers customers the choice of color that matches their home and personal style.

Choosing a metal color can be a very exciting process. The color you choose will affect the look and feel of your property.  Consider adding a metal roof color that compliments your property’s existing color scheme to give it a unified and balanced look.

Did you know that the color of your painted metal roof also effects your property’s energy efficiency?

Lighter roof colors reflect the sun’s heat much better than darker colors. This is especially important for South Florida residents or anyone living in a hot climate. Consider choosing a lighter color, such as regal white or sandstone if energy efficiency is a priority.

The color of your roof can help lower your monthly energy expenses by as much as 20-30%.

Protecting your investment. Sheffield’s painted metal roof warranty

A painted metal roof also comes with an additional 40-year limited COOLR “Paint” warranty on AG50 Galvalume, G90 Galvanized, or Aluminum roof. Sheffield Metals warrants that the paint “will not chip, crack, peel, flake, or check.

Additionally 30 years from the date of installation, the company warrants that “the coating will not chalk when properly maintained.

According to Sheffield Metals, chalking is defined as, “the whitish residue that can become visible on a coated or painted metal surface over time.

As a panel is exposed to sunlight and UV rays, the resin begins to break down and degrade.”
