Counter Flashing in Coral Gables

Metal roofing and fabrication in Coral Gables, Florida, contend with a challenging subtropical climate. The proximity to the coast means constant exposure to salt air, which can accelerate corrosion on certain metals. Additionally, the region is prone to high winds and heavy rainfall associated with hurricanes, requiring robust installation and material choices. High humidity and intense sun further stress building materials.

What to keep in mind locally

Select corrosion-resistant metal alloys suitable for coastal environments.
Ensure proper installation techniques to withstand high winds and driving rain.
Consider the building’s existing structure and potential need for reinforcement.
Factor in the long-term performance and maintenance requirements of metal systems in a humid, salty atmosphere.

What the work involves

This service involves the precise fabrication and installation of metal flashing that overlaps the primary flashing and extends into the adjacent vertical surface, such as a wall or chimney. It creates a secondary barrier to direct water away from vulnerable joints.

When this comes up

During new roof construction to properly seal penetrations.
When replacing existing flashing that has deteriorated or failed.
To address leaks or water damage originating from roof penetrations.
When modifying existing roof penetrations or adding new ones.
