In Florida’s fast-paced roofing industry, contractors need more than just high-quality panels — they need a metal roofing supplier they can depend on. From fast turnaround times to reliable product availability, every detail matters when jobs are scheduled weeks in advance and the weather can change in an instant.
That’s why so many roofing professionals across the state turn to Sunshine Metal Supply. With a reputation built on trust, quality, and service, Sunshine isn’t just a supplier — we’re a partner contractors rely on to keep projects moving smoothly.
In this post, we’ll explore what makes Sunshine Metal Supply the go-to choice for Florida contractors, from our superior products and local service to our commitment to innovation and customer support.
Florida’s Metal Roofing Experts
As a locally owned and operated supplier based in Sarasota, Sunshine Metal Supply understands the unique challenges Florida contractors face — from intense UV exposure and salt air corrosion to hurricane-force winds and strict building codes.
Our team works with roofing professionals daily, helping them choose materials that perform in Florida’s demanding environment. We’ve built our business around providing:
- Durable, coastal-ready metal panels engineered to resist corrosion
- Fast order turnaround to meet tight project schedules
- A wide range of finishes and profiles for both residential and commercial applications
- Knowledgeable staff who understand local code requirements and design considerations
When you work with Sunshine, you’re not just buying metal panels — you’re gaining a team that knows what it takes to succeed in Florida roofing.
Florida’s Trusted Source for Quality Metal Panels.
At the core of every project is the material itself. At Sunshine Metal Supply, we’re proud to offer a lineup of high-performance metal roofing panels trusted by contractors across Florida. Each profile is designed to deliver long-lasting durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of installation — making them ideal for projects that demand both beauty and strength.
Our SUNLOC hidden fastener panels offer a modern, streamlined appearance that today’s homeowners and builders love. Because the fasteners are concealed, these panels create clean lines and reduce the potential for leaks over time. They’re built to handle Florida’s unpredictable weather and provide a polished look that enhances both commercial and residential properties.
For those who prefer a timeless aesthetic, our 5V Crimp panels are a classic choice. Known throughout Florida for their traditional coastal style, these exposed-fastener panels are easy to install and available in a wide selection of colors and coatings. Their versatility and iconic look make them a favorite for everything from seaside cottages to agricultural buildings.
When it comes to superior corrosion resistance, Armored Coast™ panels stand in a league of their own. Featuring ZAM® coating technology, a specialized blend of zinc, aluminum, and magnesium, these panels are engineered to deliver exceptional protection in salt-rich coastal environments. Perfect for homes and commercial spaces near the water, Armored Coast™ ensures long-term performance where durability matters most.
Every panel we supply is tested for performance and longevity, giving Florida contractors the confidence to install roofs that truly stand up to the state’s toughest conditions — from harsh sun to salt air to hurricane-force winds.
Why Florida Contractors Prefer Sunshine Metal Supply
Sunshine Metal Supply isn’t the largest supplier in the country — but that’s exactly what sets us apart. We combine the capabilities of a large distributor with the personalized service of a local business.
Contractors choose Sunshine because we deliver what they need most: reliability, speed, and support.
Here’s what our customers tell us makes the biggest difference:
Fast Turnaround and Same-Day Service
When deadlines are tight, you can’t afford delays. Sunshine offers same-day pickup on many in-stock products and quick turnaround on custom orders.
Our on-site fabrication shop allows us to cut trim and panels to your specifications, reducing downtime and waste.
Saturday Hours
We know roofing doesn’t always stick to a Monday-Friday schedule. That’s why we’re open on Saturdays — so contractors can pick up materials when it fits their workload.
Consistent Product Quality
Every coil, panel, and trim piece meets our strict standards. Contractors trust that what they pick up today will match perfectly with what they used last month — consistency that makes installations smoother and more professional.
Personalized Customer Support
You’ll never talk to a call center. Our local team knows our products, our customers, and the unique needs of Florida projects. Whether you’re quoting a commercial re-roof or a residential upgrade, our team is ready to help.
Engineered for Florida’s Climate.
Not all metal panels are created equal — and Florida’s environment demands more from roofing materials. Between year-round humidity, coastal salt exposure, and hurricane-force winds, the Sunshine State is one of the toughest proving grounds for any roof.
That’s why we’ve invested heavily in coatings and finishes that can take the heat — literally.
Corrosion Resistance
Our Armored Coast™ line uses ZAM® coating, a powerful blend of zinc, aluminum, and magnesium that provides exceptional corrosion resistance. This advanced formula protects against rust even in high-moisture or salt-air environments, making it ideal for coastal applications.
Wind Resistance
We understand that Florida roofing must meet stringent wind-uplift requirements. Sunshine panels are tested to ensure compliance with state and local building codes, giving contractors peace of mind that their installations will stand up to severe weather.
