Step Flashing in St. Cloud

In St. Cloud, Florida, metal roofing and fabrication projects must contend with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity and intense heat. The proximity to coastal influences, even inland, means exposure to salt air can accelerate corrosion, while the region’s susceptibility to hurricanes necessitates robust structural integrity for all metalwork.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select corrosion-resistant metal alloys suitable for humid, salt-influenced environments.
  • Ensure all metal installations meet or exceed local building codes for wind resistance, especially in hurricane-prone areas.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance of metal components can prolong their lifespan and prevent issues related to moisture and salt exposure.
  • Consider the thermal expansion and contraction of metal in response to St. Cloud’s significant temperature fluctuations throughout the year.

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.
