Service Area
Coastal aluminum and exact-length crating for Emerald Coast turnaround windows. Standing seam, 5V, rib and PBR panels, custom trim, field measurement, and crated delivery - quoted fast with IMQ.
Okaloosa County and the Emerald Coast
Resort work runs on short occupancy gaps, which is the strongest practical argument for exact-length panels: open the crate, set the roof, no field cutting and no second delivery.
1" Snaplock Standing Seam, 1.5" Snaplock Standing Seam, 1" Nailstrip Standing Seam, 1.5" Nailstrip Standing Seam, 1" Mechanical Lock Standing Seam, and 1.5" Mechanical Lock Standing Seam panels in aluminum or Galvalume, with 70% PVDF finishes and no exposed fasteners.
See panels →The structural commercial panel: it spans open purlins with no deck underneath, and the 24 ga is HVHZ and Miami-Dade approved.
See PBR →We verify the roof onsite before fabrication, so exact-length panels and trim fit the first time.
Field measurement →Local knowledge
Destin and the Emerald Coast run on tourism, and the building stock reflects it: beachfront condominium towers, rental cottages along Scenic 98, and the Sandestin and Miramar Beach resort developments. Roof work here is scheduled around occupancy, which means short, hard windows and no tolerance for a material delay.
That is the practical argument for panels fabricated to exact length and delivered crated. The crew opens the crate and sets full-length panels, with no field cutting, no end-laps and no second delivery for the piece that came up short. On a rental property with a two-week gap, that is the difference between finishing and not.
Okaloosa County is Gulf-front with sugar sand and a constant onshore breeze, so this is aluminum-and-PVDF territory on anything within sight of the water. It is also home to Eglin Air Force Base and a substantial defense-contractor footprint inland, where structural panel over open framing is the standard commercial roof.
Approvals
Okaloosa County is outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone - the HVHZ is Miami-Dade and Broward only - so every profile in our catalog can be permitted in Destin.
SL100, SL150, NS150, M100 and M150 carry HVHZ and Miami-Dade approval, which is a higher bar than Okaloosa County requires, so those specs clear plan review with room to spare.
NS100, 5V, RIB and PBR are approved for use outside the HVHZ, which covers Okaloosa County and every other Florida county except Miami-Dade and Broward. They are fully permittable here.
Approval numbers are published on each panel's page and the documentation travels with the order, so the submittal is complete when the crew mobilizes. See the Florida approvals library for the current documents.
Getting it there
Destin is served by crated statewide freight out of Northeast Florida. It is a long leg and we will not pretend otherwise: we quote a delivery date with the order and crate the panels so they arrive straight, dry and ready to set.
Panels, trim and accessories are fabricated to exact length so there are no end-laps to seal in the field, and they ship crated together rather than as separate deliveries. Add turnkey installation through ERS Installations for a fully managed metal roof in Okaloosa County and the Emerald Coast.
FAQ
That is what exact-length fabrication and crating are for. We verify the roof, fabricate every panel and trim piece to length, and crate the order so the crew can set it straight out of the crate with no field cutting. Tell us the occupancy gap and we will quote a delivery date against it.
