Before & After: Tile to Metal Roof Transformation in Wekiva Springs, Longwood, FL

One of Northmen Roofings most dramatic transformations of the year took place in the beautiful Wekiva Springs area of Longwood, Florida. The original roof was a weathered terracotta-colored barrel tile with a Mediterranean aesthetic. The homeowners wanted a modern yet timeless upgrade and opted for a long-lasting standing seam metal roof from Integrity Metal in the rich Mansard Brown color.

There are some technical details and considerations when switching from a tile to metal roof. The type of roof decking must be considered and may require a “Deck over” to ensure a smooth surface for the metal to be installed to. Metal roof panels will often “telegraph” any imperfections in the roof decking. Flashing types and heights will inevitably change when altering systems so we always account for that up front so you do not have any surprise change orders. Insulation is a rarely talked about item in roofing but a metal roof is much noisier than a tile roof when it rains. Some find it soothing while others very irritating so pairing insulation installation with a roof replacement may be a good idea. Beyond technical challenges, local HOAs may require a particular type of tile roof and not allow a change to metal roofing.

To complete the transformation, the homeowners gave their property a fresh coat of paint, creating a clean and classic look that pairs perfectly with the new roofing system. This stunning upgrade not only enhances the home’s curb appeal but also ensures a low-maintenance roofing solution designed to last up to 50 years.
