Step Flashing in Daytona Beach

Daytona Beach, Florida, presents unique challenges for metal roofing and fabrication due to its coastal environment. The persistent salt air accelerates corrosion, while the region’s susceptibility to hurricanes demands robust, wind-resistant installations. High humidity and intense heat also contribute to material stress and affect fabrication processes, with coastal properties facing more direct exposure than those slightly inland.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Coastal salt air requires specific material grades and regular maintenance to prevent corrosion.
  • Hurricane preparedness means selecting roofing systems engineered for high wind uplift resistance.
  • Building owners should consider the impact of intense sun and humidity on material longevity and expansion/contraction.
  • The age and construction type of existing buildings may necessitate specific preparation or reinforcement before metal installation.

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.
