Best Metal Roofing Contractors in Orlando

Metal roofing — standing seam and metal shingles — is valued in Orlando for its longevity, wind resistance, and ability to shed snow and rain. The 6 contractors below were selected from our full Orlando top 10 as the strongest for metal roofing work, ranked by experience, manufacturer certifications, BBB standing, and verified reputation.

Orlando's Central Florida climate creates a specific case for metal roofing that differs from other Sun Belt markets. Florida Building Code wind requirements—driven by the state's hurricane exposure and established after the catastrophic failures of Hurricane Andrew in 1992—set high bars for residential roof system performance statewide. Metal roofing systems tested and approved under the Florida Building Code's product approval process offer wind resistance that architectural asphalt shingles in standard installations cannot match, and metal's high reflectivity directly addresses Orlando's intense year-round UV load and 90-plus-day summer above 90°F. Concrete and clay tile have long been the premium alternative to asphalt in Central Florida, but standing-seam metal is gaining ground because it sheds rain faster, weighs less, and has a longer service life than tile underlayment systems.

Florida requires all roofing contractors to hold a state Certified Roofing Contractor or Registered Roofing Contractor license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), one of the country's most rigorous licensing systems. A building permit and final inspection from Orange County or the City of Orlando is required for all residential re-roofs. Metal roofing in Florida must carry a current Florida Product Approval—verifiable in the FL-PA search system—confirming the specific panel profile has been tested for Florida's design wind speeds before installation on any permitted structure.

Standing-seam metal roofing in the Orlando metro typically runs $14 to $20 per square foot installed, with total project costs for an average home commonly ranging from $20,000 to $40,000 depending on home size, roof geometry, and panel profile. Stone-coated steel and concealed-fastener panels are generally priced in the same range. Panel profiles and attachment systems must carry Florida Product Approval for the specific wind zone; specifying or installing non-approved systems is a permitting violation.

Does my Orlando metal roof need a Florida Product Approval?

Yes. Florida Building Code requires that all roofing products installed under a permit—including metal panels—carry a current Florida Product Approval (FL-PA) issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The approval documents the specific panel profile's tested performance for wind uplift, impact, and water infiltration at the applicable design wind pressures for Orange County. Verify Florida Product Approval status in the FL-PA online search system at floridabuilding.org before contracting, and confirm the specific approval number applies to the exact panel and attachment method being installed.

How does Florida's insurance market treat metal roofs differently from asphalt?

Florida's residential insurance market has become highly restrictive for asphalt shingles, particularly as carriers evaluate wind and hail risk and roof age. Metal roofs—especially standing-seam systems with documented Florida Product Approval at high wind ratings—are viewed favorably by many Florida carriers because they have a longer service life (40-plus years versus 15-to-25 for asphalt in Florida's UV and heat), lower storm-damage claim frequency, and a repair profile that is less disruptive than shingle replacement after wind events. Some Florida carriers offer premium credits for metal; confirm specifics with your insurer before installation.

Do I need a licensed contractor and permit for metal roofing in Orlando?

Yes to both. Florida requires all roofing contractors to hold a Certified Roofing Contractor (CRC) or Registered Roofing Contractor license from the DBPR—a state-level credential that requires examination, insurance, and background verification. A building permit from Orange County or the City of Orlando is required for all residential re-roofs, including metal, and a final inspection must be completed before the permit is closed. Never allow an unlicensed contractor to perform permitted roofing work in Florida; failure to pull a permit can affect homeowners insurance coverage and create complications at resale.
