Step Flashing in Weston

Metal roofing and fabrication in Weston, Florida, contends with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity, intense heat, and significant hurricane exposure. While Weston is inland, the proximity to the coast means salt air can still be a factor, potentially affecting metal longevity. The area features a mix of modern and older residential and commercial buildings, each presenting unique installation challenges.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select corrosion-resistant metal finishes suitable for humid, potentially salt-influenced environments.
  • Ensure roofing and fabrication projects meet or exceed local building codes for wind resistance, particularly in hurricane-prone South Florida.
  • Proper ventilation is crucial to mitigate moisture buildup and prevent condensation, which can accelerate corrosion.
  • Consider the potential for extreme weather events and opt for durable materials and secure installation methods.

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.
