How Long Do Metal Roofs Last?

Metal roofs last between 40 and 70 years in Florida, making them one of the longest-lasting roofing systems available in Palm Beach County. Standing seam metal roofs typically last 40–70 years. Metal panel roofs last 25–40 years. Unlike asphalt shingles, metal does not degrade from UV radiation and is highly resistant to Florida's heat, humidity, and hurricane-force winds.

Why Metal Roofs Last So Long in Florida

Metal roofing outperforms shingles and approaches tile in durability in Florida because: metal does not absorb moisture; it does not crack or degrade from UV radiation; it resists insect damage; it will not rot, warp, or split; and quality steel and aluminum roofing can be coated with Kynar or similar finishes that resist chalking and fading for decades.
