Coping Metal in Tallahassee

Metal roofing and fabrication in Tallahassee, Florida, contends 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 experience less salt but still face the challenges of heavy rainfall and strong winds. The diverse building stock, ranging from older structures to newer constructions, requires careful assessment for proper integration and performance of metal systems.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select metal materials and finishes resistant to corrosion from salt air and UV exposure.
  • Proper installation techniques are crucial to withstand high winds and heavy rainfall associated with Florida storms.
  • Ventilation and insulation are important to manage heat gain and humidity, ensuring indoor comfort and preventing moisture issues.
  • Regular inspections can help identify any early signs of wear or potential issues, especially after severe weather events.

What the work involves

This service involves measuring the parapet wall, fabricating custom metal pieces to fit its dimensions, and installing these pieces to create a watertight seal. The installation typically includes securing the metal coping with fasteners and sealing the joints to prevent water intrusion.

When this comes up

  • When a building’s design includes parapet walls that require a protective and aesthetically pleasing cap.
  • To prevent water infiltration and subsequent damage to the parapet wall structure.
  • When replacing deteriorated or damaged existing coping.
  • As part of a new roof installation or a major roof repair project.
