Standing Seam Metal Roofs J&J Construction and Gutters, Inc. shares insights on how a standing seam metal roof is the perfect all-weather choice for your Florida home.
Standing seam metal roofs are an
excellent choice for waterfront properties. These roofing systems have concealed fasteners and interlocking panels with raised seams to create a continuous watertight barrier that offers superior durability, enhanced performance, extended costsavings, and unmatched style.
DURABILITY One of the most significant advantages of a standing seam metal roof is durability. These types of roofs provide long-term protection and are known for withstanding heavy rainfall, high winds, and extreme temperatures. Interlocking panels run from ridge to eaves, creating fewer seams and fewer weak points. This design prevents water from accumulating and stops seepage, making these roofs one of the best options for rainwater management and overall weather resistance. PERFORMANCE A standing seam metal roof can serve your home for 50 years or more. A state certified roofing contractor specializing in metal roofs will steer you in the right direction when it comes to selecting roof type and material. Aluminum panels are naturally corrosion resistant and lightweight while steel panels with high grade and protective finishes are also suitable. For coastal environments and waterfront homes, Kynar® coated aluminum is highly recommended to combat salt spray and corrosion. For inland homes not in proximity to brackish or salt water, Galvalume® panels can be an economic alternative.
STYLE If you are building an upscale home, you need a roof that adds value. Studies show that a home outfitted with a standing seam metal roof will have a higher resale value than homes roofed with traditional shingles. With clean lines and concealed fasteners, these roofs offer instant curb appeal. Available in an endless range of colors and finishes, a sleek standing seam metal roof can be tailored to complement any home design. COST-SAVINGS Standing seam metal roofs reflect solar heat, which can help reduce cooling costs during hot Florida summers. These roofs can be 50 to 60 degrees cooler than asphalt shingles. This will lessen the load on your A/C and save you money on your electric bill. ABOUT J&J Since 1995, J&J Construction and Gutters, Inc. has been striving to offer Central Florida the best home protections that technology has to offer. When it comes to standing seam metal roofs, they are one of the industry leaders. They fabricate their metal roof panels in-house, delivering fast and comprehensive metal roofing solutions. 386-673-1241

S
outh Florida is one of the most vulnerable areas on the United States coast for a hurricane. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew, the most powerful storm in Miami-Dade County, registering as a Category V, and the third strongest in U.S. history with sustained winds in excess of 155 mph, came ashore and destroyed many marinas in south Miami-Dade County. Hurricanes that exceed 110 mph can be expected to occur in south Florida about once every 10 years. The population of Miami-Dade County continues to increase, bringing many boaters with little hurricane experience. The wind will be the biggest enemy. There are several things to do to help minimize its overwhelming affects. Knowing how to secure your boat and where to keep your boat are the two primary concerns. The most important thing to remember is DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! Being prepared in advance by having a plan and practicing your plan will help to protect your life and property.

IGFA RELEASE RECOMMENDATIONS Modifying the types of hooks you use can significantly affect a fish’s chances for survival after it is released. When fishing with natural bait (dead or alive), IGFA strongly encourages the use of non-offset circle hooks. Extensive research on species from salmon to sailfish has demonstrated that circle hooks gut hook significantly fewer fish without sacrificing catch rates. Lures that have treble hooks should have the barbs bent down or removed to facilitate easier hook removal. Interested in the science behind circle hooks? Read Circle hooks, 'J' hooks and drop-back time: a hook performance study of the south Florida recreational live-bait fishery for sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus published in Fisheries Management and Ecology in 2007.
If you’re not going to photograph your fish or document it for record purposes, the best method is to not remove the fish from the water. In-water releases can be aided by the use of de-hooking devices that eliminate the need to boat the fish and keep hands safe distances away from the fish. If the fish has swallowed the hook, it is much better for the angler to cut the leader as close to the fish as possible, rather than trying to forcibly remove the hook. If a fish needs to be removed from the water to remove the hook and/or document it for record purposes, anglers should use either their hands or knotless, rubberized landing net. Most small to moderately large sized fish can be landed by hand. Ideally, this should be done with wet hands or soft, wet gloves to minimize slime and scale loss. Lip gripping devices may be used to help subdue fish. However, they should not be used to hoist fish vertically out of the water, as this can cause damage to jaw muscle and bone as well as to internal organs. The best method for removing fish from the water is to grip the fish or the lower jaw and support the fish’s underside. Again, the point is always to hold fish horizontally and not vertically.

520 Barracuda Blvd. New Smyrna Beach, FL 32169 (386) 428-4828 The Marine Discovery Center has spent 25 years informing and educating citizens and guests about the amazing biodiversity of the Indian River Lagoon. Tagged as the most biologically diverse estuary in North America, the Indian River Lagoon boasts more than 4,000 species and spans 156 miles down Florida’s east coast — providing countless ways to engage the public. Programs at MDC for all ages are designed to offer hands-on, feet-wet learning opportunities through classes, camps, lectures, boat and kayak eco-tours with certified naturalists and teachers. MDC’s daily eco-tours and monthly free public lectures help visitors understand the ecology of the Lagoon. Camps, field trips, and other education offerings allow children from pre-K through high school (and beyond) to experience our local ecosystems. Coastal ecosystem and other supplemental classes are offered through the Florida Master Naturalist Program (FMNP) at the center multiple times throughout the year. Working with area colleges and universities, as well as environmental conservation groups, the center also provides opportunities for citizen scientists to become personally involved in restoration and sustainability activities, such as oyster-shell recycling, shoreline restoration, water-quality testing, invasive-plant eradication, sea grass surveys and horseshoe crab surveys.
26
In addition to our education and conservation science programs, MDC also hosts (and co-hosts) various special events throughout the year including fundraisers, symposiums, and galas. The center always boasts a busy calendar! The nonprofit Marine Discovery Center is now housed in the former administration building of New Smyrna Beach High School, which operated on the 22-acre site from 1963-2006. Prior to the school’s construction, the site was a natural salt marsh. Through grant funding in 2014, 5½ acres of salt marsh was restored on the land adjacent to the current MDC building, followed by construction of a butterfly garden, nature play area, a 29foot observation mound overlooking estuarine waters, an archery range and a living shoreline demonstration area. Future plans include construction of an amphitheater and kayak storage and launch area. Widely recognized as a regional resource for the Indian River Lagoon, the Marine Discovery Center is centered on education and outreach in an effort to preserve, protect and restore the lagoon for generations to come. Admission to our facility & grounds is FREE! Tours, education programs, and other special events have associated fees.
