Standing-seam metal on a custom multi-gable
Marcus T. · Pasco County
The problem
The original architectural shingles were cooked on the south hips. Too many valleys for a three-tab patch, and the pool deck meant we could not leave a mess or a week of open decking.
What we did
Full tear-off to deck. High-temp underlayment, then standing-seam panels run eave-to-ridge so cut ends are not stacked in the valleys. Chimney cricket and new pipe boots. Panels staged off the pool cage.
The result
A cooler attic than the shingle roof it replaced, and a system that does not rely on granule coverage in Florida UV. Marcus can see every seam from the pool. That is the point.
Complexities on this job
- Eight-plus hips and valleys on a custom footprint
- Chimney and plumbing stacks in the field, not on a rake
- Pool and cage — no dumpster in the backyard, materials walked from the drive
- Color-matched trim at every rake so the aerial reads as one roof, not a patchwork
