Counter Flashing in Jupiter

Metal roofing and fabrication in Jupiter, Florida, contends with a challenging coastal environment. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean means constant exposure to salt air, which can accelerate corrosion on certain metals. Additionally, the region is prone to high winds and hurricane activity, requiring robust installation methods and durable materials. High humidity and intense heat are also persistent factors affecting both the materials and the working conditions.

What to keep in mind locally

Choose corrosion-resistant metal alloys suitable for marine environments.
Ensure proper ventilation to mitigate humidity and heat buildup.
Verify that installation meets or exceeds wind uplift resistance standards.
Consider the potential for galvanic corrosion if dissimilar metals are used in proximity.

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.
