Why Metal?

Longevity & Strength You Can Count On

• Metal roofing lasts 40–70 years, compared to 12–20 years for asphalt shingles.
• Engineered to withstand high winds, hail, and intense sun — perfect for Florida’s climate.
• Unlike shingles, metal panels won’t crack, curl, or blister.
• Lightweight yet durable, compatible with most existing truss systems.

Energy Efficiency That Pays You Back

• Reflects radiant heat, helping reduce cooling costs by up to 25%.
• Compatible with solar panel installations for eco-conscious homeowners.
• Keeps interiors cooler while reducing strain on your HVAC system.

Less than 10% of asphalt shingles are ever recycled — while metal roofing boasts a recycling rate of over 90%.

Skip the Waste – Choose Sustainability

Metal roofs aren’t just long-lasting — they’re environmentally smart.
Each Mission Metals panel is designed to last for decades, meaning fewer tear-offs, less landfill waste, and more value for every dollar spent.

By contrast, asphalt shingles often end up in landfills after just one or two decades — breaking down and releasing harmful chemicals as they decompose.

Make the greener, cleaner choice. Choose Mission Metals.

The Smart Investment: Metal vs. Shingle

When comparing roofing options, cost is always a factor — but the lowest upfront price doesn’t always mean the best long-term value.

Residential Panel

Ideal for homeowners seeking an affordable, durable, and attractive option.
Our exposed fastener panels provide a classic metal roof look with simple installation and broad color selection — perfect for everything from single-family homes to barns and workshops.

This panel can even be installed over an existing shingle roof!
It is not recommended to install over a roof with active leaks — always get a thorough inspection from a certified roofing contractor.

Oil Canning

How Mission Metals Helps Minimize It

While oil canning cannot be fully eliminated, our team takes proactive steps to reduce its visibility:

• Using high-quality, tension-leveled steel.
• Offering striated options to disguise subtle distortions.
• Offering thicker gauge material (24-gauge).
• Following strict manufacturing standards for panel alignment and handling.
• Providing clear installation guidelines to ensure proper fastening and substrate preparation.

During your order process, your sales representative can help you choose flat or wavy striations to best suit your roof design and aesthetic preferences.

The Bottom Line

Oil canning is purely aesthetic, not a defect.
Your roof will remain fully watertight, structurally sound, and protected under warranty.
At Mission Metals, we stand behind every panel we manufacture — with precision, pride, and transparency.

It’s not just how we make our panels — it’s how we build trust.

FAQs

At Mission Metals Manufacturing, we know choosing a new roof is a major decision — and it’s natural to have questions. Here are some of the most common ones we hear, along with honest answers from your local metal roofing experts:

🏠 “Doesn’t metal roofing cost more than shingles?”
That’s true — the initial investment is higher. But a metal roof can last two to three times longer than shingles and requires far less maintenance.
Instead of replacing your roof every 12–15 years, your Mission Metals roof can protect your home for 40–70 years.
And if you ever decide to sell, that longevity, energy efficiency, and durability make your home more valuable to future buyers.

🌧 “Isn’t a metal roof noisy when it rains?”
Not at all. When installed over solid decking and insulation (as most modern homes are), metal roofs are just as quiet as any other roofing material — often even quieter.

 “Will it rust or dent?”
Our panels are engineered for Florida’s environment and coated with durable SMP, Kynar®, or Galvalume finishes.
These coatings protect against corrosion, fading, and weather damage. While severe hail can dent any roof, thicker gauges and striated panels help minimize the risk and keep your roof looking great.

⚡ “Does metal attract lightning?”
No — that’s a common misconception. A metal roof does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike.
If lightning ever does strike, the metal actually helps disperse energy safely, and because it’s non-combustible, it reduces fire risk compared to other roofing materials.

🧰 “Isn’t it harder to repair or replace?”
Metal roofs rarely need repairs, but if they do, individual panels can be replaced just like shingles.
Since our panels are locally roll-formed, replacement pieces are readily available when needed — no long delays or special ordering.

🌤 “I’ve seen metal roofs that look wavy. Is that normal?”
That’s called oil canning, a natural aesthetic variation that can occur in flat metal panels.
It doesn’t affect performance or durability. To minimize its appearance, we offer striated panels, and our manufacturing process includes strict quality checks to reduce visible distortion.

🏡 “My HOA probably won’t allow a metal roof.”
Florida law supports homeowners’ rights to choose storm-resistant roofing materials, and that includes metal.
While HOAs can regulate colors and styles, they cannot prohibit metal roofing altogether.
We’re happy to provide samples, photos, and documentation to help you gain HOA approval smoothly.

⏳ “Doesn’t metal take longer to install?”
Metal roofing installation requires precision, but once materials are delivered, most projects move quickly.
And even if your roof isn’t fully complete, your peel-and-stick underlayment keeps your home secure in the meantime.
A few extra days of installation are worth decades of lasting protection.

Mission Metals roofs are built for real life in Florida — sun, storms, salt, and all.
When you invest in metal, you’re investing in peace of mind for decades to come.
