Drip Edge Installation in Orlando

Metal roofing and fabrication in Orlando, Florida, contends with significant humidity and intense heat year-round. While not directly on the coast, the region still experiences the effects of a subtropical climate, including heavy rainfall and the potential for hurricane-force winds. The existing building stock varies, with many structures built to withstand these environmental factors.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should consider the impact of high humidity on material longevity and potential for corrosion, especially for non-stainless steel fasteners.
  • Hurricane preparedness is crucial; metal roofing offers excellent wind resistance when properly installed and fastened.
  • The intense sun and heat can affect material expansion and contraction, requiring appropriate detailing and installation techniques.
  • Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the integrity of the roofing system against common weather challenges.

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.
