Metal Roofing in Gainesville, FL
26-gauge Gulf-Lok standing seam metal roofing rated for 140 mph winds. Installed by Godwin Green Roofing since 1974.
Why Metal Roofing Is the Top Choice for Florida Homes
Metal roofing outperforms asphalt shingles in nearly every category that matters in Florida. A properly installed metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years compared to 15 to 20 years for asphalt, and is rated to withstand winds of 140 mph or more — well above Alachua County's Florida Building Code requirement of 130 mph. Metal roofs also carry high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) ratings, meaning they reflect significantly more of the sun's heat than asphalt, contributing directly to the energy savings Godwin's green roofing systems are designed to deliver.
What Godwin Installs
Standing Seam (Hidden Fastener)
The most durable and leak-resistant metal roofing profile available. All fasteners are hidden beneath the panels — no exposed screws to corrode or back out over time. Available in multiple PVDF paint finishes from Tri County Metals.
Exposed Fastener Panels
A more traditional metal roofing look at a lower price point. Available in a wide range of PVDF paint finishes designed to maintain color and reflectivity for decades in Florida's intense UV environment.
