Frequently Asked Questions

Florida's high heat, UV exposure, and frequent storms accelerate roof aging, especially near coastal areas like Merritt Island. Salt air and moisture can wear down shingles and metal systems faster than in drier climates. At Patriot Roofing and Construction LLC, we design installations with ventilation and underlayment that withstand these conditions.

Metal roofing offers superior longevity and energy efficiency in high-wind coastal areas, while asphalt shingles are more affordable and commonly used in Florida subdivisions. Metal reflects heat better during hot summers, reducing cooling costs. At Patriot Roofing and Construction LLC, we help Brevard County property owners choose based on budget and performance needs.
