Metal Roofing in Merritt Island, FL
From North Merritt Island to Newfound Harbor, we're Brevard County's licensed and insured metal roofing contractor (FL License CCC1337805), building affordable roofs that stand up to the salt air off the Indian River and Banana River and the barrier island's wind exposure. Every installation is wind-mitigation ready.
Why Merritt Island Homeowners Choose Us for Metal Roofing
Merritt Island is a barrier island with water on both sides, the Indian River to the west and the Banana River to the east. That setting is beautiful, and it’s hard on a roof. Salt air rides in off both rivers and off the Atlantic just past Cocoa Beach, and open-water lots take wind with nothing to slow it down. A roof here has to be built for that, not just for a calm afternoon.
Brevard weather backs it up. The National Weather Service office in nearby Melbourne recorded a peak wind of almost 91 mph during Hurricane Jeanne in September 2004, a storm that came through on the heels of Hurricane Frances weeks earlier. More recently, Hurricane Matthew tracked just off the Brevard coast in October 2016 and gave the barrier island a hard shove. We build for that history.
Every metal roof we install can be configured to meet Florida Building Code roof-covering standards and documented with the roof deck attachment and roof-to-wall connection details (hurricane clips or straps) that Brevard County wind-mitigation inspectors look for. That paperwork is often the difference between a standard homeowner’s insurance bill and a meaningfully discounted one.
We’re headquartered up US-1 in Palm Bay, in the same county, and we’re on the island regularly. Our recent Merritt Island work runs from North Merritt Island and Courtenay down through Sykes Creek, Newfound Harbor, Georgiana, and the Merritt Park Place area, in zip codes 32952 and 32953. We also serve Cocoa and Cocoa Beach across the SR 520 and SR 528 causeways.

Most Merritt Island homeowners choose between two panel profiles. Standing seam gives you concealed fasteners, a clean vertical-rib look, and the strongest wind and water performance for exposed or waterfront lots. Metal shingle and stone-coated steel offer a textured, dimensional profile that mimics shingle or tile while still carrying a high wind rating, a good fit for neighborhoods with HOA aesthetic guidelines. Watching the budget? Start with our affordable metal roofing overview, and if your home sits near the water, read why we lean toward aluminum on the barrier island.
Metal Roof Colors for Merritt Island Homes
You don’t have to guess what our roofs look like on the island, because we’ve installed plenty of them. Recent Merritt Island projects run from terra cotta and copper tones to green, gray, brown, and a bright galvalume silver, across standing seam, exposed-fastener, and stone-coated systems. Color does more than set the look. On the Space Coast, coatings take a beating from UV and salt, so we install panels with Kynar 500 (PVDF) finishes that resist fading and chalking for decades. Lighter colors reflect the most summer heat; deeper bronzes and greens hold up fine with a quality coating and often suit waterfront and older island homes better. We bring the full color chart to your free estimate and help you get HOA sign-off where it’s needed.
Our Roofing Process for Merritt Island Homeowners
Every metal roofing project in Merritt Island, FL starts the same way for us: a no-pressure roof inspection. We look for signs of age, storm damage, active leaks, and hidden issues with decking or flashing. After the inspection, we explain what we found and present repair or replacement options that make sense for your situation.
If you move forward, we help you select materials, colors, and profiles that fit your home and the way the island’s weather works on it. We then schedule the work, pull the permit through Brevard County, and keep you informed before and during the project so you know what to expect each day.
During installation or repair, our crew protects surrounding areas, removes old roofing where needed, prepares the roof deck, and installs the new system according to manufacturer guidelines and local codes. When the job is done, we perform a final walkthrough, answer your questions, and leave your property clean.

Merritt Island Metal Roofing Questions
Can a metal roof qualify for a wind-mitigation insurance discount in Brevard County?
Often, yes. Insurers look at roof covering compliance with the Florida Building Code, the roof deck attachment method, and roof-to-wall connections like hurricane clips or straps. We install and document a system built around those criteria so you have what's needed for a wind-mitigation inspection.
Does salt air on Merritt Island really damage a metal roof?
It can damage the wrong metal roof. On a barrier island with water on both sides, standard panels and cheap fasteners corrode faster than they should. That's why for waterfront and near-water homes here we specify marine-grade aluminum or premium-coated steel with matching stainless or coated fasteners, so the roof holds up to the same salt air that eats gutters and screens.
How much does a metal roof cost in Merritt Island?
It depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the panel system you choose, and whether there's an old roof to tear off first. A standing seam roof costs more than an exposed-fastener panel, and stone-coated steel lands in between. We give you a written, itemized quote after we measure your roof, so the number is real and not a phone guess.
Do you work in my Merritt Island neighborhood?
Yes. We cover North and South Merritt Island, Sykes Creek, Newfound Harbor, Georgiana, Courtenay, and the Merritt Park Place area across zip codes 32952 and 32953, plus Cocoa and Cocoa Beach next door over the causeways.
Do I need a permit for a metal roof on Merritt Island?
Yes. Merritt Island is unincorporated, so reroofs are permitted through Brevard County's building permitting office rather than a city. We pull that permit and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
