Drip edge installation is the process of fitting a metal flashing along the edges of a roof to direct water away from the fascia and underlying structure. This page covers drip edge installation for buildings in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Fort Lauderdale’s coastal location exposes metal roofing and fabrication projects to significant challenges from salt air corrosion and intense hurricane winds. The high humidity and heat common in South Florida can accelerate material degradation, while the proximity to the ocean versus inland areas can influence the severity of these environmental factors. Building stock in Fort Lauderdale varies, with many structures needing to withstand the region’s demanding climate.
This service involves installing a piece of metal flashing, typically aluminum or galvanized steel, along the eaves and rakes of the roof. The drip edge is positioned under the underlayment and shingles at the eaves, and over the underlayment at the rakes, ensuring water is channeled away from the roof deck and into the gutters.
