Chimney Flashing in Doral

Metal roofing and fabrication in Doral, Florida, must contend with the persistent challenges of a subtropical climate. This includes high humidity, intense sun exposure, and the corrosive effects of coastal salt air, even for properties slightly inland. The region also faces significant hurricane exposure, requiring robust materials and installation methods to withstand high winds and driving rain.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure proper material selection and coatings to resist salt corrosion and UV degradation.
  • Verify that installation meets or exceeds wind-load requirements for hurricane zones.
  • Consider ventilation strategies to manage high humidity and prevent condensation within structures.
  • Evaluate the existing building structure for compatibility with metal systems, especially in older construction.

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.
