Metal Roof Replacement in Summerfield, FL
A single-story tan stucco home on a wooded lot in Summerfield, with a screened porch and an attached garage. The brown shingle roof came off in mid March 2026, and a light silver-gray standing seam metal roof took its place.

What you are looking at
Seen from straight above, the roof is a broad hip over the main house with a gable over the screened porch and a valley on each side where the two meet. Every new slope is the same light silver-gray metal, and the seams run in straight lines from the eaves up to the hips and the ridge.
On a standing seam roof the panels join at raised ribs and the screws are hidden beneath them, so the close photos show clean, flat panels with no rows of screw heads. The flat part of each panel has fine lines pressed into it lengthwise, and the metal has a slight sparkle in direct sun. Wide metal caps cover each hip and the main ridge.
The chimney is a tan stucco chase toward the back of the house. Its base is wrapped in new metal flashing, and on the uphill side sits a small peaked piece of metal called a cricket, which splits rainwater around the chimney so it does not pool against the back. Farther along the roof, a plumbing vent comes through the metal in a pipe boot, a flexible collar screwed down in a ring and sealed to the pipe, with a hooded vent beyond it. The drone shots also show a round clear dome on one of the slopes.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off in mid March show the old shingles stripped down to the wood deck, then a red underlayment covering the whole roof before the metal went on. The finished photos were taken in late March under a clear sky, with the oaks in fresh spring leaf.
From the side, the new roof sits over tan stucco walls, wooden shutters with Z bracing, an octagon window and a stacked stone base along the porch. White gutters run along the eaves, and Brehm's photos from February, before the job, already show them, along with the lower, weathered metal roof over the back room, so neither was part of this job. Tall pines ring a wide lawn, and a concrete drive runs up to the garage.
Light colored metal generally reflects more sun than dark shingles, which is one reason metal is common on Florida homes that sit in full sun all summer. Panels that run unbroken from the eave to the hip also give heavy afternoon rain a straight path off the roof.
