Sunrise is one of Broward County’s largest and most dynamic cities, home to the BB&T Center (Florida Panthers hockey), Sawgrass Mills mall, and master-planned communities like Weston Roads and Sawgrass International Corporate Park. From family homes near Sunrise Boulevard to commercial properties along the bustling Sawgrass Expressway corridor, metal roofs are common on many properties. When a hailstorm rolls across Sunrise — often as part of intense spring and summer supercell thunderstorms — the damage to metal roofs can range from cosmetic dents to structural punctures. At CAT5 Metal, we specialize in hail damage assessment and repair for metal roofs on residential and commercial properties in Sunrise. Call us at (888) 700-2285 for a professional inspection.
Hail damage to metal roofs in Sunrise can be subtle but serious. Hailstones ranging from pea-sized to golf ball-sized can strike metal panels, leaving small dimples that crack the protective paint or galvalume coating. These tiny dents may be invisible from the ground, but the exposed bare metal beneath will begin to oxidize in Florida’s humid environment. What starts as a pinprick of rust can grow into a hole and eventually an active leak. Larger hailstones can cause deep dents that stretch the metal, crack standing seam ridges, split corrugated panels, and puncture through thinner gauge metal. On commercial properties with large, expansive metal roofs, undetected hail damage can lead to leaks over inventory and equipment, causing significant business interruption.
Our inspection process for Sunrise properties is thorough and systematic. For residential properties, we safely access your roof and examine every panel, seam, ridge cap, and flashing. For commercial properties, we use moisture meters and systematic testing to locate damage. We look for circular dents with cracked or missing coating, elongated dents from hailstones hitting at an angle, cracking along standing seam ridges, splits in corrugated panels, bent or broken ridge caps, and impact marks on flashing, gutters, and downspouts. We also check fastener heads for loosening and inspect rubber washers for cracking — damage that can lead to leaks even if the panels themselves are intact. We use moisture meters to detect hidden leaks that may have already developed from hail-related seam separation.
After documenting all damage with detailed photographs and notes, we provide a comprehensive repair estimate. For minor coating damage where the metal is still structurally sound, we clean the area, apply rust-inhibiting primer, and use high-quality touch-up paint that matches your roof’s finish. For dented panels where the coating has been compromised or the metal has been stretched, we cut out and replace the damaged sections — we do not simply patch over damage that will continue to corrode. For cracked, split, or punctured panels, full panel replacement is necessary to restore the roof’s weather-tight integrity. We also replace any damaged fasteners and reseal any affected seams.
Many Sunrise neighborhoods have mature oak and palm trees. After a hailstorm, falling branches and debris can compound roof damage. We inspect for both hail impact and secondary damage. For commercial properties along Sawgrass Expressway, we prioritize calls to prevent business interruption. If you have insurance coverage, we work directly with your adjuster, providing detailed documentation.
