Chimney Flashing in Coconut Creek

Metal roofing and fabrication in Coconut Creek, Florida, must contend with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity, intense heat, and significant hurricane exposure. The proximity to the coast means salt air can accelerate corrosion on certain metals, while inland areas may experience different microclimates. Older building stock might require specific considerations for structural integrity and attachment methods to ensure longevity against severe weather.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure proper material selection to resist salt spray corrosion, especially for coastal-adjacent properties.
  • Verify that installation meets or exceeds current hurricane wind load requirements for Florida.
  • Consider the impact of high humidity on any fabricated metal components to prevent premature degradation.
  • Factor in the thermal expansion and contraction of metal in response to extreme temperature fluctuations.

What the work involves

This service involves fabricating and installing custom metal pieces, typically made of aluminum, copper, or galvanized steel, that are shaped to fit the contours of the chimney and the roof. The flashing is integrated with the roofing material and the chimney structure to create a watertight seal, often extending up the chimney face and under the counter flashing.

When this comes up

  • When a new roof is installed or replaced, existing flashing may be deteriorated and require replacement.
  • Damage to the existing flashing from severe weather events like high winds or hail.
  • Cracks or gaps appearing in the flashing due to age, material fatigue, or improper initial installation.
  • Visible signs of water stains or leaks around the chimney base on the interior of the building.
