Boca Raton Estate Standing Seam Metal Roof Installation
Engineered standing seam aluminum roof replacement for a 7,800 sq ft luxury waterfront estate in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Boca Raton, engineered to withstand 170+ MPH Atlantic hurricane winds with architectural museum-grade finishes.
The Architectural Challenge: Coastal Salt Fog & Failing Barrel Tile
Situated on an Intracoastal point lot in Boca Raton, this luxury custom estate endured relentless salt aerosol, direct UV exposure, and intense tropical storm gusts.
The property's existing 22-year-old clay barrel tile roof was failing rapidly. Hurricane gusts had dislodged mortar bed ridge caps, cracked fragile tiles, and compromised the organic felt underlayment beneath, causing water staining along decorative tongue-and-groove cypress ceilings.
The estate owner sought a permanent architectural solution that provided impenetrable hurricane resistance while satisfying strict neighborhood architectural review board aesthetics. Dissimilar metal galvanic corrosion from coastal salt fog ruled out steel, demanding marine-grade aluminum.
The Engineering Execution: Precision Roll-Formed Aluminum System
Planet Roofing custom-fabricated standing seam panels on site to guarantee zero transit damage and flawless continuous eaves-to-ridge seams.
Tile Tear-Off & Deck Re-Nailing to High-Wind Code
Removal of heavy clay tile down to structural 5/8-inch plywood sheathing. Fasteners re-nailed using 8d ring-shank nails on 6-inch grid intervals into structural rafters.
FBC High-Wind Deck Re-Nail ScheduleDual-Layer High-Temp Self-Adhering Underlayment
Application of dual-layer polyglass high-temperature elastomeric SBS peel-and-stick membrane directly bonded to plywood deck, creating an impermeable secondary water barrier.
