Titusville homeowners on 1960s and 70s roofs are finding that metal for around the price of shingles changes the math. Here is how.
Metal roofing in Titusville
Titusville is North Brevard’s hub, with neighborhoods that grew up alongside the space program in the 1960s and 70s and a lot of homes now on aging shingle roofs. The city fronts the Indian River Lagoon, so homes near the water should know the panel finish warranty carries a salt-water exclusion on Galvalume steel, with aluminum available as an upgrade; inland Titusville homes have a free choice. Our North Brevard crew covers Titusville, Mims and Port St. John regularly, so you are not waiting on a truck from the south end of the county.
METAL ROOF SAME PRICE AS SHINGLES®
Most Titusville homeowners rule out metal on price before they ever get a number. At Hippo, price does not have to make that decision. We have built two flagship roof systems, our HippoShield™ shingle system and our DefenderRoof® metal system, and they are the same price. You see both, in writing, at the visit, and you choose the roof you would rather come home to.
Two ways to go metal
DefenderRoof exposed fastener panels
The workhorse metal roof: ribbed panels fastened through the face with gasketed screws, in Galvalume steel or aluminum, in a wide range of colors. This is the system behind the same-price-as-shingles offer.
Standing seam
Concealed fasteners, clean vertical lines and a premium look. Standing seam is a full replacement rather than an overlay, priced accordingly, and it is the roof many Titusville homeowners choose when they want the house to look finished from the street.
What a Titusville metal roof visit looks like
- We inspect the existing roof and the attic to confirm whether an overlay qualifies or a tear-off is the right call.
- We check the distance to salt water and recommend steel or aluminum accordingly.
- We bring color and profile samples.
- You get a written price for metal and for shingles side by side, with no pressure to decide on the spot.
- Hippo pulls the permit through the City of Titusville and meets the inspector.

Frequently asked questions
Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles in Titusville?
Often, yes. Florida code allows a new roof over one existing layer of shingles when the decking is sound, and your Roofing Consultant confirms that at the visit. Either way, the install method never decides the price: DefenderRoof® is the same price as our HippoShield™ shingle system on the same house.
Steel or aluminum for a Titusville home?
Many Titusville homes sit near salt water. Galvalume steel is still the panel behind METAL ROOF SAME PRICE AS SHINGLES® there, and homeowners put it on along the river and the beaches all the time. The one thing to know is that the panel manufacturer’s finish warranty carries a salt-water exclusion, so if you want that coverage near the water, aluminum is available as a priced upgrade. We confirm the distance to water at your visit and put the panel choice, and its price, in writing.
Do I need a permit for a metal roof in Titusville?
Yes. A re-roof is permitted work in Florida. Hippo pulls the permit through the City of Titusville under our own license, CCC1331992, and meets the inspector on site. You do not have to do any of it.
How long does a metal roof last compared to shingles?
A properly installed metal roof commonly outlasts two or three shingle roofs, and a metal roof does not lose granules, curl or grow algae the way shingles do in the Florida sun. Ask us at your visit about the manufacturer warranty options on the panel you choose.
