For coastal Florida homes battling salt spray and strong winds, metal roofing—particularly aluminum or galvalume—stands out as an exceptional choice. Unlike other metals, aluminum naturally resists salt corrosion while providing excellent wind resistance when properly installed. High-quality clay or concrete tiles also perform remarkably well in coastal environments, withstanding salt exposure while offering substantial wind resistance due to their weight. Whatever material you select, choose lighter colors that reflect heat and UV radiation, significantly extending lifespan. Proper installation becomes even more critical in coastal areas—experienced contractors will use additional fasteners, special adhesives, and corrosion-resistant components specifically designed for our challenging oceanfront conditions.
