        "text": "Given the Bay Area's varied climate, including coastal moisture and occasional heavy rains, durable and flexible flashing materials are crucial. Self-adhered membranes (peel-and-stick) made of modified bitumen or butyl rubber are highly effective due to their excellent waterproofing properties and ability to seal around fasteners. Metal flashing, often aluminum or copper, is also used, particularly at critical junctions, for its longevity and rigidity. A combination of these materials is often recommended.",
