1961 Construction | General Contractors & Roofing in Brighton, CO 80601

A properly designed and constructed deck can improve your home's drainage and airflow around the foundation, which indirectly impacts moisture levels. More importantly, when we handle your deck project, we can also inspect the adjacent roof and siding for any existing moisture damage or vulnerabilities that might be contributing to problems like ice dams. It's a great opportunity for a comprehensive home check-up.

Yes, if done correctly. Simply replacing shingles won't prevent future ice dams. At 1961 Construction, a roof replacement for a Brighton home includes addressing the root causes: we evaluate and upgrade attic insulation to prevent heat loss and ensure proper ventilation to keep the roof deck cold. This one-two punch is crucial for stopping the freeze-thaw cycle that creates ice dams and moisture damage in our area.

It can if the roofing isn't integrated properly. When we build an addition, we ensure the new roof section is seamlessly tied into your existing structure with consistent insulation levels and ventilation pathways. We design the roofline to promote proper snow and water shedding, specifically planning to avoid creating new valleys or low spots where ice and moisture from Brighton winters can accumulate and cause damage.
