Custom Drip Edge in Lakeland

Lakeland, Florida, experiences significant challenges for metal roofing and fabrication due to its proximity to the coast, exposing structures to salt air and high humidity. The region is also prone to hurricane-force winds, requiring robust materials and installation methods. The inland location offers some buffer from direct coastal salt spray compared to cities directly on the Atlantic or Gulf, but the intense Florida heat and pervasive humidity remain constant factors affecting metal performance and longevity, alongside the varied age and construction types of existing buildings.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should prioritize materials and finishes specifically rated for high-humidity and potential salt-air environments to prevent premature corrosion.
  • Hurricane preparedness is crucial; ensure roofing systems meet or exceed local wind load requirements and are installed by experienced professionals.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance, particularly after severe weather events, can extend the lifespan of metal installations.
  • Consider the thermal expansion and contraction of metal in Lakeland’s hot climate to ensure proper seam integrity and prevent stress on fasteners.

What the work involves

This service involves fabricating custom-shaped metal pieces to precise measurements. These pieces are then installed along the roof’s eaves and rakes to create a clean edge and prevent water infiltration.

When this comes up

  • When installing a new metal roof system.
  • When replacing an existing roof covering.
  • When the original drip edge has deteriorated or been damaged.
  • When specific roof edge details require a non-standard flashing solution.
