"Locking down the perimeter, because that is where wind gets its first grip on a roof."
Locking down the perimeter, because that is where wind gets its first grip on a roof.
Wind does not attack the middle of a roof. It finds an edge, gets underneath, and peels from there. Properly sized and properly fastened edge metal removes that starting point. The fortified standard specifies wider drip edge with tighter fastener spacing than typical construction, and it is one of the least expensive elements of the whole upgrade.
Mobile and Baldwin County sit in one of the most demanding building environments in the country — hurricane exposure, relentless summer heat and UV, high humidity year-round, and salt air across the southern half of both counties. Work that would last decades somewhere inland gets tested hard here, which is why the details underneath matter as much as the finish on top.
Silver Construction has 25 years of experience with exactly these conditions, and we work only in these two counties. Call 251-622-3415 for a free estimate.

Often not for the fortified standard, which calls for a wider profile and closer fastening than most standard installations use. We check what is there before assuming.
