Here at Rhino Commercial Roofers, we help Tampa businesses upgrade their aging metal roofs with dependable retrofit systems designed to withstand Florida’s sun, rain, and humidity.

With more than 50 years of combined experience, our team knows how to strengthen your roof while saving you time and money.

About Metal Retrofit Roofing

Metal retrofit roofing gives your commercial building a fresh start without the hassle of a complete roof replacement. Instead of removing old panels, we install a new system directly over the existing roof. This approach keeps your building safe from exposure during construction and avoids the mess and expense of hauling away debris.

We begin by inspecting the structure to make sure it is solid. Then, we reinforce weak spots, tighten panels, and repair any rust or loose fasteners. After preparation, we add insulation and a new membrane layer. This creates a watertight barrier that improves energy efficiency and extends the lifespan of your roof.

Retrofit systems work well with many types of commercial buildings. They handle heavy rain, wind, and heat, something Tampa business owners face daily. Many clients choose this method because it limits disruption. In most cases, we can complete the work while your business stays open. That means no downtime and no lost productivity.

A retrofit roof is not just about function. It also improves the appearance of your building. The finished surface looks clean, modern, and professional.

Signs You Need Metal Retrofit Roofing

A roof speaks long before it fails. You just need to know what to look for.

Rust is one of the first warning signs. When metal panels or fasteners begin to rust, the surface weakens and leaks can follow. If you see rust spots spreading, it may be time to act.

Frequent repairs are another clue. If you are patching leaks every few months, you are spending more on short-term fixes than a proper retrofit would cost. Leaks that return after every storm are a clear sign your roof’s waterproofing has failed.

You may also notice higher utility bills. A worn-out metal roof reflects less sunlight, which means your building traps more heat. If your air conditioning is running longer than usual, your roof could be the reason.

Sagging panels or gaps along seams show that the structure is aging. These issues often lead to leaks and interior water damage. A retrofit system seals those weak spots and restores strength to your roof.
