Step Flashing in Palm Coast

Palm Coast, Florida, experiences significant challenges due to its coastal location. The pervasive salt air accelerates corrosion on metal, while the high humidity and intense sun contribute to material degradation. Frequent hurricane exposure demands robust construction methods to withstand high winds and driving rain, particularly for older or less structurally sound buildings.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select corrosion-resistant metal alloys suitable for marine environments.
  • Ensure proper ventilation to mitigate moisture buildup and prevent condensation.
  • Confirm that installation meets or exceeds local building codes for wind resistance.
  • Regular inspections are recommended to identify and address any signs of wear or corrosion early.

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.
