Tri County Metals 26g Galvalume 5V Roof Replacement in Micanopy, FL
Historic Micanopy sits just south of Paynes Prairie, a short drive from Cholokka Boulevard and the town square. This reroof put a Tri County Metals 26-gauge Galvalume 5V metal system in mill finish on the house, with custom 6 inch ridge caps and matching mill finish drip edge. The reroof was permitted in Alachua County, and every full replacement we do includes new drip edge with the new roof.
Why a 5V metal roof in mill finish for a Micanopy home?
The homeowner selected a Tri County Metals 26-gauge Galvalume 5V metal roof in classic mill finish for this full replacement.
Unlike shingles, 5V metal uses long continuous panels that shed water in a straight run. Mill finish Galvalume is the unpainted silver look that has been common on Florida metal roofs for decades. It fits a Micanopy lot with oaks, Spanish moss, and a backyard shed better than a dark architectural shingle would.
Custom 6 inch ridge caps finish the hips and ridge in the same mill finish as the field. That trim is part of the system, not a leftover from the old roof.
Does a metal reroof in Micanopy include new drip edge?
Yes. On every full roof replacement we install new drip edge with the new roof.
This job used matching mill finish drip edge. The metal at the eaves lines up with the 5V panels and the 6 inch ridge caps so the whole edge is one color. Edge metal gets replaced with the system on a full reroof.
What does a mill finish 5V reroof look like when the ridge is finished?
This Showcase is a completed metal roof replacement in mill finish 5V with custom 6 inch ridge caps.
The 5V ribs and the wide ridge and hip caps are the parts you see from the yard. Homes in Micanopy near Paynes Prairie and Cholokka Boulevard take the same Alachua County heat, UV, and summer storms as the rest of the Gainesville market. A metal system is built for that weather.
