5V crimp metal roofs in Jacksonville are the panels you see on old Florida cracker houses, barns and fish camps: flat sheets with five V-shaped ribs, screwed straight through the face of the panel into the deck or purlins. They cost the least of any metal roof and go on fast.
The Screws Are the Maintenance
Every screw on a 5V crimp roof goes through the panel and is sealed by a neoprene washer under its head. Over time the washers shrink and lose their seal. Panel maker McElroy says that typically doesn't happen until around years 20 to 30, and the fix is replacing the screws. Exposed-fastener roofs still need regular inspection, especially after storms.
Where 5V Crimp Makes Sense
- Old Florida, farmhouse and coastal-cottage homes where the look fits.
- Porches, additions, sheds and barns.
- Budgets where standing seam or metal shingles don't work.

What to Ask
- Panel thickness and coating (Galvalume bare, or painted), and the Florida Product Approval number.
- Screw type, washer material and spacing for your wind zone.
- Whether it goes over the old roof or the old roof comes off, and what the code allows for your house.
