Standing Seam vs. Exposed Fastener Metal Roofs: Which is Best for Hurricane Resistance?


“Welcome back to Roofing Talk with Roofing by Ball Contracting! Today, we're diving into a hot topic for Florida homeowners: standing seam vs. exposed fastener metal roofs. Specifically, we'll be focusing on which option provides the best hurricane resistance for those in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and Hillsborough Counties. Let's get started!"

“First up, let's talk about standing seam metal roofs. These sleek, interlocking panels are a popular choice for homeowners looking for top-notch hurricane resistance. Thanks to their concealed fasteners and raised seams, standing seam roofs offer superior protection against wind uplift during those intense Florida storms."


“But what about exposed fastener metal roofs? While they may be more affordable upfront, they come with some drawbacks in hurricane-prone areas. The exposed fasteners can be vulnerable to high winds, leading to potential leaks and damage."



Customer Testimonilals: “After Hurricane Irma, our standing seam metal roof from Roofing by Ball Contracting held up like a champ! We didn't have a single issue, and our neighbors with exposed fastener roofs weren't so lucky."

Customer 2: "We opted for the exposed fastener roof initially, thinking it would save us money. But after experiencing Hurricane Michael, we regretted not investing in the standing seam option. Lesson learned!"


“So, when it comes to hurricane resistance in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and Hillsborough Counties, Roofing by Ball Contracting recommends the standing seam metal roof. Its superior durability and concealed fasteners provide peace of mind during Florida's unpredictable weather.
