What types of flashing are available from Supply Ontime?
The store stocks drip-edge, roll, step, transition, and vent-pipe flashing made from galvanized steel, aluminum, and rubber. Sizes range from 2-in. roll tape to 10-ft Z-bar flashing. Colors include black, brown, gray, metallic silver, and white. Each type is designed to cover specific roof transitions and penetrations. Contractors can mix and match materials for different sections of the roof.
How do I choose the right flashing material?
Aluminum flashing resists corrosion and is suitable near the coast, while galvanized steel offers strength for inland homes. Rubber pipe boots provide a watertight seal around vent pipes. Match the flashing color to your shingle or fascia color to maintain curb appeal. The choice often depends on budget and long-term maintenance needs. Supply Ontime can advise based on the project location and style.
Are there code requirements for flashing in LA?
Los Angeles building codes require drip-edge flashing at eaves and rakes and proper flashing at wall intersections and roof penetrations to prevent water intrusion. Use step flashing under each shingle course where roofs meet walls and vent-pipe flashings that conform to pipe diameter. These codes are in place to protect against leaks during seasonal rains. Inspectors often check flashing placement before signing off on roofing work.
Does Supply Ontime deliver flashing components promptly?
Yes. Flashing pieces up to 10 ft can be delivered same-day or in a scheduled window. For large orders of steel flashing, note staircases or elevator access so drivers can safely transport long pieces. Truck bed, curbside, and white-gloves delivery options are available. Orders can also be combined with shingles and underlayment to streamline shipments.
