If you’re thinking about upgrading to a metal roof in Lake City or Gainesville, two of the most popular choices are Gulf Rib and Standing Seam. Both look great, last for decades, and can handle Florida’s storms — but they have different installation methods, price ranges, and benefits. Let’s break it down 👇
