Parts of a Roof

Not sure what to call a part of your roof? This drawing gives some common terms to help you discuss your roofing project.

Common Metal Roof Flashing Terms

These are some of the common metal roofing flashings and where they will go on your project. Most manufacturers offer standard parts and pieces to complete common roofing and siding jobs, but when a standard part just won't work, we can get a custom piece made. Pricing for custom pieces is based on amount of material used and the number of bends/cuts, so they are very similar in cost to standard parts. Each type of metal roofing has slightly different flashings to fit the profile of the roof (meaning how high and far apart the ribs might be).
