Step Flashing 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 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.
