Drip Edge Installation in Kissimmee

Metal roofing and fabrication in Kissimmee, Florida, must contend with intense humidity and heat, common to Central Florida. While not directly on the coast, the region experiences significant hurricane exposure and can still be affected by salt air carried inland. The existing building stock varies, with many structures built in recent decades that may require specific considerations for integration with metal.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure proper ventilation to manage high humidity and prevent condensation buildup under metal roofing.
  • Select corrosion-resistant coatings and fasteners suitable for Florida’s climate, even inland.
  • Consider the potential for high winds during hurricane season and ensure secure installation methods.
  • Evaluate the existing roof structure for compatibility with the weight and fastening requirements of metal.

What the work involves

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.

When this comes up

  • When a new roof is being installed or replaced.
  • To prevent water damage to the roof decking, fascia boards, and soffits.
  • To protect the building’s foundation from water runoff that can erode soil.
  • As a standard best practice for durable and long-lasting roof performance.
