- Our Story
Locally licensed, Florida-approved, and built from the ground up right here in the Gulf.
What started as a career shift became a roofing business with deep roots. Back in 1996, our founder left the print industry in Atlanta for a new life in Orange Beach, AL. He landed a labor job, got his hands dirty, and quickly found roofing to be a natural fit.
His work ethic and likable nature helped the business grow fast, and it stuck. Today, Rapid Metal Roofing, LLC is still family-run, with his wife handling the office side and a few reliable subcontractors helping carry out the work. With nearly 30 years of experience, we’ve stayed committed to helping homeowners and builders get roofs that hold up on the Gulf Coast.
We’re licensed by the Alabama Home Builders Board and are a state contractor for metal roofing. Our machines even carry Florida approval, so we’re built for coastal conditions. Whether it’s recommending screw down metal roofing for speed or tile roof contractors for design-driven builds, we tailor every job.
Our team helps customers looking into commercial roofing services and supports others in the trade by offering metal roof panels for sale, custom cut in-house to avoid wait times. From roofing shingles contractors focused on classic styles to clients interested in modern options like standing seam metal roofing, we bring the materials and the know-how.
We’re not some big outfit. We’re a local company that believes in doing the job right, showing up on time, and treating people fairly. With plans to eventually focus on running a metal supply company, we’re still just as driven to keep the work going strong.
