Pelican Roofing FL Worthouse Metal Roofing

A Steel Roof With the Look of Tile

Worthouse roofing is a modular steel tile system — engineered panels that interlock across the entire roof deck rather than sitting as loose, exposed sheets. Each panel carries a protective, weather-tested finish designed to resist fading, corrosion, and impact damage over decades of Gulf Coast sun and storms.

The result is a roofline that reads as clay or concrete tile from the street, with none of the cracking, shifting, or piecemeal repairs that come with traditional tile.

  • Interlocking panels for a continuous, watertight barrier
  • Matte, weather-tested steel finish
  • Engineered for wind, impact, and fire resistance
  • Tile-style appearance without tile’s maintenance

Why Worthouse Fits Sarasota & Manatee County Homes

Between salt air, summer heat, and hurricane season, this coast is one of the toughest environments a roof will ever face. Worthouse is engineered around exactly those conditions.

  • Storm-Ready Strength
    High wind ratings and impact-resistant panels help the roof stand up to hurricane season instead of shedding pieces in it. Ask us about pairing Worthouse with hurricane strap upgrades for added protection.

  • Corrosion & UV Resistance
    Protective coatings are built to hold up against salt air and constant sun exposure, so color and finish stay consistent year after year.

  • Low-Maintenance Living
    No cracked tiles to individually replace, no lifted shingles after a storm — just a sealed, interlocking system designed to be checked, not constantly repaired.

Worthouse Metal Roof vs Tile vs Shingles

Choosing the right roofing material in Florida isn’t just about appearance—it’s about long-term performance, durability, and cost over time. Many homeowners compare traditional asphalt shingles, tile roofs, and modern metal systems like Worthouse to determine which option provides the best value and protection. Understanding the differences can help you make a more informed decision for your home.

Pelican Roofing FL and the crew did a great job from the initial roof estimate, tear off, delivering materials, installing the new concrete tile roof and clean up. Communication was key through the whole process especially with changes and I was able to talk with someone instead of leaving messages. Once they started working, they completed the job quickly with minimal living disruptions. They were reliable, competitive in pricing and I would use them again.

Pelican Roofing did a fantastic job! They were competitive in price and everything went very smoothly. Our job was a complete re-roof for a large tile roof. Installers were on time and very diligent about daily onsite clean up. I highly recommend this company.
