Metal roof without exposed fasters is called: Standing Seam. Standing seam is more costly than 5 V Crimp. You should get a quote for each to compare. Most roofing companies do both 5 V Crimp and Standing Seam.

Typically in florida the metal material is the gray unpainted product called: Galvalume. It appears more shiny/silver the first year then loses most of the mirror like shine.

You can get a metal roof with a painted surface. But then there are issues of the paint eventually peeling or scratching or fading. You don't have any paint with Galvalume though it looks like a light gray.

Insurance is cheaper with most metal roofs...wind insurance as well as fire insurance.

Pasted from this web site: How to Choose Roofing Material by Tommy Gambon | Living Space 360
"The disadvantage of the 5V-Crimp style roof is that the neoprene washers can shrink and dry out over time, causing a leak. There’s also the fact that you have a zillion holes in your new roof from all the attaching screws.

A better choice if you’re considering a metal roof is the “Standing Seam” roof style.The Standing Seam roof uses either a one foot or two foot wide panel with a 90 degree bend along each edge. On this type of roof the panels are secured to the roof by small metal clips, that hold down the edges. As each panel is laid in place it covers the clip from the previous panel, no holes or screws exposed. A U-shaped metal “Batten” is driven over the panel edges and metal clips to complete the installation. This results in a much cleaner looking installation, than the 5V-Crimp roof. "
What about cool roof material/coatings?..any personal dealings with that?

Army chief, cool roof is a modified paint product. It is at best a temporary fix. Would not recommend it for anything other than getting by till the proper repair could be done. BTW, CW2 here.

CW3 here..

Thanks..I think you misunderstood the product I was attempting to convey. Cool Roof, as I know it, is a metal REFLECTIVE roofing material (they also sell a painted metal roof with this material). It is an Energy Star savings roof

The SGT is the Army!!!

Just had a metal roof installed. 70 square (7000 sq feet) for $40K. There are different types and qualities of metal roofs. That affects the price. 5V is less but with that you see the screws. I had standing seam installed. No visible fastners. This is the top of the line.
