Three Kinds of Metal Roof in Jacksonville
Every metal roofer in Jacksonville works with some mix of these three. They differ in how they look from the street, how they're fastened, and what they cost.
PremiumMetal Shingle Roofs
Stamped steel shingles shaped like slate, shake, shingle or tile. They interlock, the nails are hidden, and from the street they don't read as metal.

ModernStanding Seam Metal Roofs
Long vertical panels joined at raised seams over hidden clips. Clean lines, and aluminum panels for homes near the ocean.

Standard5V Crimp Metal Roofs
The classic Florida metal roof. Screwed-down panels with V ribs, the lowest price per square foot, and screws that need checking over the years.

- Ribbed panels
- Fasteners
- Exposed screws
- Installed
- $5–$12/sq ft
Installed prices per square foot of roof, from HomeGuide's national averages. A full price depends on tear-off, deck repairs, roof shape and trim. See metal roof cost in Jacksonville.
Premium Metal Shingle Systems
Premium metal shingles are stamped steel pieces shaped like slate, cedar shake, dimensional shingle or barrel tile. Each one locks into the next and is nailed through a hidden top edge, so no screw heads face the weather.
The best of them are sold as one system: underlayment, starter, trim, ridge caps and flashings from the same maker, tested together. A few makers install with their own crews, so one company answers for both the material and the labor.

Why Homeowners Pick Them
From the curb, a metal shingle roof reads as slate or tile, not as a metal building. That matters in Jacksonville neighborhoods where an HOA approves the roof. They weigh a fraction of what clay or concrete tile does, so they can replace tile without reinforcing the framing.
Read the warranty closely. Ask what it covers (the paint finish, leaks, or both), whether it transfers when you sell, and whether it changes near salt water.
Metal shingles vs standing seam vs 5V crimpStandard Metal Roofs: 5V Crimp and Standing Seam
Panel roofs are what most people picture when they think of a Florida metal roof. Two kinds dominate.
5V Crimp
The panel on old Florida farmhouses and fish camps. It's screwed straight through the face of the panel, which keeps the price down. Each screw has a rubber washer, and those washers age in the sun, so the screws need checking over the life of the roof.
5V crimp metal roofs in JacksonvilleStanding Seam
Long panels joined at raised seams and held down by clips under the seam, so there are no exposed screws in the flat of the roof. It's the usual choice for modern homes, and the usual place for aluminum panels at the Beaches, where salt air shortens the life of steel.
Standing seam metal roofs in JacksonvilleFlorida Wind Code and Jacksonville Roof Permits
Every metal roofer in Jacksonville works under the Florida Building Code, one of the strictest wind codes in the country.
Rain, Salt Air and Hurricanes
Jacksonville International Airport averages 53.4 inches of rain a year, and June through September brings 28.8 inches of it. In 2017, Hurricane Irma pushed the St. Johns River to record flood levels at many Duval County gauges. Add salt air at the Beaches, and the details that matter most are the fasteners, flashings and coatings.

Metal Roofing Questions From Jacksonville Homeowners
How much does a metal roof cost in Jacksonville?
HomeGuide's national averages run $5–$12 per square foot installed for exposed-fastener panels like 5V crimp, $9–$16 for standing seam and $6–$14 for metal shingles. A 2,000 square foot roof comes to roughly $10,000 to $32,000 depending on the type. See metal roof cost in Jacksonville.
Do I need a permit for a new metal roof in Jacksonville?
Yes. The City of Jacksonville requires a permit for a re-roof, filed online through JaxEPICS, and roofing contractors pull their own permits. Jacksonville Beach and Atlantic Beach run their own building departments, and Ponte Vedra is in St. Johns County.
How do I check a roofer's license in Florida?
Ask for the license number and look it up on the DBPR's free license search at myfloridalicense.com. CCC means a certified roofing contractor licensed statewide. RC means a registered roofing contractor licensed only where the license was issued.
Can my HOA stop me from putting on a metal roof?
Florida law counts roof systems that meet the Florida Building Code's ASCE 7-22 wind standard as hurricane protection. HOAs must adopt specifications for hurricane protection and can't deny an application that meets them, though the specifications can set color and style. Ask your HOA for its specifications before you sign a contract.
Are metal shingles or standing seam better near the beach?
Ask about the warranty first. Many steel panel warranties exclude homes within 1,500 feet of salt water, and aluminum is the usual coastal choice. See standing seam metal roofs in Jacksonville.
