Step Flashing in Lauderhill

Metal roofing and fabrication in Lauderhill, Florida, contends with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity and intense heat. Coastal proximity means exposure to salt air, which can accelerate corrosion on certain metals. The region also faces hurricane risks, requiring robust installation methods and materials designed to withstand high winds.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select metal roofing materials with high resistance to salt corrosion and UV exposure.
  • Ensure all installations meet or exceed local building codes for wind uplift resistance.
  • Regular inspections are recommended to identify any signs of corrosion or damage, especially after severe weather events.
  • Consider the thermal performance of the chosen metal to mitigate heat gain in the humid climate.

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.
