Step Flashing in Pensacola

Pensacola, Florida’s coastal environment presents unique challenges for metal roofing and fabrication. The pervasive salt air accelerates corrosion, while the region’s frequent hurricane activity demands robust structural integrity. High humidity and intense heat also contribute to material stress and performance considerations, particularly for buildings located closer to the coast versus inland areas.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select corrosion-resistant metal alloys suitable for marine environments.
  • Ensure roofing and fabrication projects meet or exceed local building codes for wind resistance.
  • Regular maintenance and inspection are crucial to address potential salt spray and moisture-related wear.
  • Consider the potential for extreme weather events and opt for durable, long-lasting materials.

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.
