Step Flashing in Sunrise

Metal roofing and fabrication in Sunrise, Florida, contends with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity, intense heat, and significant hurricane exposure. The proximity to the coast means salt air is a constant factor, potentially accelerating corrosion on certain metal types. Building stock in Sunrise varies, and the performance of metal systems can be influenced by the age and structural integrity of existing buildings.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure proper ventilation to mitigate humidity and prevent condensation buildup, which can affect both the roof and interior spaces.
  • Select appropriate metal alloys and finishes resistant to salt spray and corrosion, especially for properties closer to the coast.
  • Understand local building codes and hurricane-resistant design requirements when planning any new metal installation or repair.
  • Factor in the intense solar heat gain; lighter-colored or specially coated metal roofing can help reduce cooling costs.

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.
