Step Flashing in Tallahassee

Metal roofing and fabrication in Tallahassee, Florida, contends with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity, intense heat, and significant hurricane exposure. The proximity to the coast means salt air can accelerate corrosion on certain metals, while inland areas experience less salt but still face the challenges of heavy rainfall and strong winds. The diverse building stock, ranging from older structures to newer constructions, requires careful assessment for proper integration and performance of metal systems.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select metal materials and finishes resistant to corrosion from salt air and UV exposure.
  • Proper installation techniques are crucial to withstand high winds and heavy rainfall associated with Florida storms.
  • Ventilation and insulation are important to manage heat gain and humidity, ensuring indoor comfort and preventing moisture issues.
  • Regular inspections can help identify any early signs of wear or potential issues, especially after severe weather events.

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.
