Step Flashing in Jacksonville

Jacksonville’s metal roofing and fabrication projects contend with a challenging coastal environment. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean means constant exposure to salt air, which can accelerate corrosion. Additionally, the region is highly susceptible to hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall, requiring robust installation methods and durable materials. High humidity and intense summer heat further stress building envelopes.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select metal roofing and fabrication materials with high corrosion resistance due to the salt-laden air.
  • Ensure all installations meet or exceed local building codes for wind uplift resistance, especially in coastal areas.
  • Consider the thermal expansion and contraction of metal in Jacksonville’s hot climate to prevent stress on fasteners and seams.
  • Regular inspections are recommended to identify any early signs of wear or corrosion, particularly after severe weather events.

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.
