Step Flashing in Coconut Creek

Metal roofing and fabrication in Coconut Creek, Florida, must contend with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity, intense heat, and significant hurricane exposure. The proximity to the coast means salt air can accelerate corrosion on certain metals, while inland areas may experience different microclimates. Older building stock might require specific considerations for structural integrity and attachment methods to ensure longevity against severe weather.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure proper material selection to resist salt spray corrosion, especially for coastal-adjacent properties.
  • Verify that installation meets or exceeds current hurricane wind load requirements for Florida.
  • Consider the impact of high humidity on any fabricated metal components to prevent premature degradation.
  • Factor in the thermal expansion and contraction of metal in response to extreme temperature fluctuations.

What the work involves

This process involves cutting and shaping sheet metal, typically aluminum or galvanized steel, into interlocking pieces that follow the contours of the roof and the vertical surface. These pieces are layered with roofing material to create a water-tight barrier, preventing leaks at critical junctions.

When this comes up

  • When a roof meets a vertical wall, such as a chimney or dormer.
  • To seal the edges where a roof changes planes, like at a skylight.
  • Around any roof penetration that requires a watertight seal.
  • During new roof construction or when replacing existing flashing.
