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 👇


💥 Limited-Time Deal — Save 10–15% Until the End of the Year!

Right now, TMT Roofing is offering 10–15% off all metal roofing projects booked before October 31st. If you’ve been considering a new roof, this is the perfect time to lock in your savings and beat 2026 price increases.

  2. Install 1×4 wood purlins 2’ on center.

  • Remove existing roofing.
  • Renail decking.

Best Practice Installation:
