Metal Roofing Done The Big A Way — Strength You Can See

When it comes to metal roofing, there are contractors who offer it - and then there are contractors who are known for it. At Big A Roofing, metal isn’t just another option on the service list. It’s what we’ve built our name on across Northeast and Central Florida, including East Palatka and St. Augustine. Because metal roofing done right isn’t just stronger - it’s smarter, sharper, and built to outperform everything else on your property. We install systems that don’t just handle Florida weather - they own it! Relentless sun. Driving rain. High winds. That’s where metal proves its value - and where our workmanship proves the difference. Our crews install metal roofing systems with a level of precision that only comes from doing it consistently (for 20 + years) and doing it right:

• Straight, uniform panel alignment
• Proper fastening systems for long-term durability
• Flashing and transitions built to prevent failure points
• Clean, finished edges that complete the look
• 
  

This is the difference between a roof that simply exists—and one that’s built with intent and expertise.

Homeowners and business owners considering metal roofing usually ask about noise during rainstorms, whether it attracts lightning, and how it holds up in Florida's heat and hurricane-force winds.

How loud is a metal roof when it rains?

With proper underlayment and insulation, you hear less noise than you expect, often quieter than old wooden shingles. The sound depends more on what is under the metal than the metal itself.

Does metal roofing attract lightning?

Metal does not attract lightning any more than other roofing materials, and if struck, it actually disperses the energy safer than combustible materials like wood. You are not at higher risk with metal installed.

What is the difference between standing seam and screw-down panels?

Standing seam panels have hidden fasteners and raised seams that interlock - offering a cleaner look and better thermal movement. Screw-down panels are more cost effective and fasten directly through the metal, which works fine but requires occasional fastener maintenance.

How long does a metal roof last in Florida?

Most metal roofs last forty to sixty years with minimal maintenance, far longer than asphalt shingles that need replacement every fifteen to twenty years. You pay more upfront but replace it less often.

Why choose metal over asphalt shingles?

Metal handles high winds better, reflects more heat to lower cooling costs, and requires almost no maintenance compared to shingles that crack, curl, and lose granules over time. It makes sense if you plan to stay in the building long-term.
