Wall Flashing in Sunrise

Metal roofing and fabrication in Sunrise, Florida, contends with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity, intense heat, and significant hurricane exposure. The proximity to the coast means salt air is a constant factor, potentially accelerating corrosion on certain metal types. Building stock in Sunrise varies, and the performance of metal systems can be influenced by the age and structural integrity of existing buildings.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure proper ventilation to mitigate humidity and prevent condensation buildup, which can affect both the roof and interior spaces.
  • Select appropriate metal alloys and finishes resistant to salt spray and corrosion, especially for properties closer to the coast.
  • Understand local building codes and hurricane-resistant design requirements when planning any new metal installation or repair.
  • Factor in the intense solar heat gain; lighter-colored or specially coated metal roofing can help reduce cooling costs.

What the work involves

This process involves cutting and shaping sheet metal to create a custom-fit flashing system. The metal is then securely attached to both the wall and the roof, overlapping in a way that directs water away from the vulnerable joint.

When this comes up

  • During new roof construction to properly seal wall-to-roof intersections.
  • When replacing an existing roof system.
  • If the current flashing is damaged, deteriorated, or improperly installed.
  • To address leaks or water stains appearing at the base of a wall where it meets the roof.
