A N Star Remodeling | Roofing Services in Algonquin, IL 60102

While siding and roofing are separate systems, they must work together. Improper or damaged siding can allow water to seep behind it and travel up to vulnerable areas like roof valleys or skylight flashings. Our expert siding installation and replacement ensure a tight seal at the critical intersection where your roof meets your walls, redirecting water away and providing an essential secondary layer of defense against the leaks common in our local climate.

Absolutely. In many Algonquin homes, water running off the roof can be driven by wind or ice dams against the siding. If the siding is loose, cracked, or improperly flashed where it meets the roof, that water can infiltrate and travel sideways, sometimes manifesting as a leak in the roof valley. Our siding repair service includes a thorough inspection of these critical junctures. We often identify and fix siding issues that contribute to or exacerbate roof leaks, solving the root cause.

Skylight leaks often stem from failed flashing—the metal that seals the skylight to the roof. However, the siding that abuts the side of a dormer or wall near a skylight is a key part of this system. If it's old or incorrectly installed, it can channel water directly onto the skylight flashing. Our siding replacement service ensures proper integration with existing roof flashings. We create a weather-tight barrier that directs water away from the skylight, a crucial step for long-term leak prevention in our area.
