Types of Metal Flashing We Fabricate in Portland, Oregon
PDX Panels fabricates every architectural metal flashing profile used in residential and commercial construction. Roofing contractors, siding contractors, masonry contractors, and architects throughout Portland and Southwest Washington rely on us for precision brake-formed flashing built to their exact specifications, at the most competitive prices in the Portland metro area.
Counter Flashing & Reglets
Counter flashing laps over base flashing at chimneys, parapet walls, and roof curbs to complete the two-part waterproofing system. Undersized or loose counter flashing is the most common source of chronic commercial roof leaks in the Pacific Northwest. We fabricate counter flashing and reglet profiles in galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, and stainless steel. Sized to your field dimensions.
Base Flashing at Roofline
Base flashing integrates with the roofing membrane at the roof-to-wall transition and is lapped by counter flashing above. For low-slope commercial roofs across Oregon and Washington, the profile must account for membrane thickness, cant strip height, and substrate conditions. We fabricate base flashing to your exact dimensions in galvanized steel and aluminum.
Step Flashing at Wall Intersections
Step flashing is installed course-by-course at the intersection of a sloped roof and a vertical wall. Each step piece must be the right width and height to integrate with both the shingle course below and the siding above. We cut step flashing sets to your exact course dimensions in galvanized G90, aluminum, and copper. Any quantity from a 10-piece repair job to a full new-construction run.
Through-Wall Flashing & Masonry Lintel Flashing
Through-wall flashing penetrates the full depth of a wall assembly to carry water from the interior cavity to the exterior face via weep holes. Required at shelf angles, window heads, lintels, and above openings in masonry and cavity wall construction. We fabricate through-wall and lintel flashing for masonry contractors and GCs. Aluminum, copper, and 316 stainless. Correct wall thickness, drip edge, and end dam profiles.
Parapet Cap Flashing & Coping
Parapet cap flashing and coping covers the top of parapet walls on commercial buildings, shedding water away from the roof assembly. It faces constant wind uplift, UV exposure, and thermal cycling on low-slope commercial roofs in the Pacific Northwest. We fabricate parapet cap flashing and coping in galvanized, aluminum, copper, and stainless. Sized to your exact wall width with the correct cleat design and overlap.
Window Head Flashing & Sill Pan Flashing
Window head flashing keeps water out of the rough opening above every window and door. Sill pan flashing at the bottom provides a secondary drainage plane protecting framing from water that gets past the window. Critical in Oregon and Washington's high-rainfall climate. We fabricate custom head and sill pan profiles in aluminum, galvanized, and prefinished steel sized to your exact rough opening and wall assembly.
Kick-Out Diverter Flashing
Kick-out diverter flashing directs water away from the wall face at the bottom of a roof-to-wall intersection. One of the most frequently missed and most damaging details in residential roofing. A missing or undersized kick-out can drive hundreds of gallons of water into a wall cavity over a wet Oregon winter. We fabricate kick-out flashings to the correct diverter angle and return dimension for your specific roof pitch and siding system.
Chimney Flashing
Chimney flashing is a two-part system: base flashing steps up the sides of the chimney and integrates with the roof, while counter flashing embeds into the masonry mortar joints and laps over the base. Both pieces must be precisely sized to the chimney dimensions, roof pitch, and shingle exposure. We fabricate chimney flashing sets in galvanized steel, aluminum, and copper for residential roofing contractors throughout the Portland metro area.
Pipe Flashing & Roof Curb Flashing
Every pipe, conduit, and mechanical curb penetrating a low-slope roof needs a correctly fabricated flashing collar. Stock pipe boots rarely fit properly on membrane roofs where penetration heights vary. We fabricate custom pipe collars, curb cap flashings, and penetration collars for commercial roofing contractors. Galvanized, aluminum, and stainless for standard and corrosive-environment applications.
Stucco, EIFS & Rainscreen Termination Flashings
Stucco and EIFS cladding systems require precisely fabricated termination bars, z-flashings, and kick-out profiles at every transition, penetration, and cladding edge. In Oregon and Washington's wet climate, poorly fitted termination flashings are a leading cause of long-term moisture intrusion behind cladding. We fabricate z-flashings, EIFS termination bars, kick-out flashings, and deck-to-wall transitions in aluminum and galvanized steel.
Gutter End Caps, Drop Outlets & Gutter Flashing
Custom gutter end caps, expansion joints, and drop outlets are regularly needed on commercial projects and historic re-roofs where off-the-shelf components don't match the existing profile. We fabricate gutter flashing, end caps, and drop outlets to match existing profiles or new architectural specifications.
Custom Decorative Finishes: Wood, Stone, Brick & Textured Metal Flashing
This is something no other metal flashing fabricator in Portland offers. PDX Panels fabricates flashing and trim profiles in custom decorative finishes. Wood grain, stone, brick pattern, and textured metals to match or complement virtually any cladding system. Architects specify these for high-end residential projects, commercial facades, and anywhere standard mill-finish or painted flashing would break the design intent. Bring your cladding spec or sample and we'll match it.

We also offer specialty decorative finishes. Wood grain, stone, brick pattern, and textured metals, to match architectural cladding systems. No other Portland-area fabricator offers this range of custom finishes.
Are you really the most affordable metal flashing fabricator in Portland?
Yes. We're the most competitively priced custom brake-formed flashing fabricator in the Portland metro area. That applies to small orders, large commercial runs, and everything in between. We encourage you to get quotes from other local shops and compare. We're confident in our pricing.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum order. We fabricate 1 piece. We fabricate 10,000 linear feet. There's no threshold you need to hit before we'll take your order, and no upcharge for small quantities. Walk-in orders for single repair pieces are welcome.
Can you match existing flashing profiles for a repair or re-roof?
Yes. Bring in a sample piece, a photo, or your field dimensions and we'll fabricate replacement flashing to match the original profile. This is common on commercial re-roofs, historic building repairs, and residential remodels where mismatched flashing would be visually obvious or compromise system performance.
Do I need an appointment to come in?
No. Our walk-in counter is open to contractors during business hours. Bring your sketch, field dimensions, a sample piece, or your architect's drawing. We'll go through it with you at the counter, confirm the profile and material, and get it into fabrication. No appointment, no back-and-forth emails just to get started.
How long does it take to get custom flashing made?
Turnaround depends on the material and complexity of the order. Contact us with your spec and quantity and we'll give you an honest timeline.
Can you fabricate flashing from architect's drawings?
Yes. We work directly from PDF and DWG files. Architects and GCs throughout the Portland area submit drawings directly to us for fabrication. We read the profile, gauge, and material from your drawing and go straight to fabrication. If anything needs clarification, we'll call before we cut.
Do you offer custom finish options for exposed flashing?
Yes. This is something no other metal flashing fabricator in Portland offers. We fabricate flashing and trim in wood grain, stone texture, brick pattern, and custom textured metal finishes. These are specified by architects for high-end residential projects and commercial facades where standard mill-finish flashing would break the design. Contact us with your cladding spec and we'll confirm the available finish match.
