Estimating & Workflow
Galvanized steel flashing
Flashing made from steel coated with zinc to resist rust. Galvanized steel is a common material for roof edge trim, valley flashing, and wall transitions because it is strong and inexpensive. When writing an estimate, the estimator notes the material of the existing flashing so a replacement matches, since galvanized steel may be swapped for aluminum, copper, or a sealed metal system depending on the scope and the product specified.
