Absolutely. Properly installed siding acts as a critical barrier for your home's walls and, by extension, your roof's edge. At Al Leblanc & Son, we ensure siding is installed with correct flashing details and adequate ventilation. This helps manage moisture that can contribute to roof algae growth and prevents water from seeping behind siding and up under roof flashing, which is a common cause of separation in our area.

While roof algae is primarily a roofing issue, it's a good time for a full exterior assessment. Persistent moisture problems that cause algae can sometimes affect siding integrity. During a siding consultation, we'll inspect the wall conditions behind your old siding. If we find moisture damage or poor ventilation contributing to the overall problem, we can address it during a siding replacement, creating a drier, healthier environment for your entire home, including your roof.

Flashing separation often occurs where the roof meets the siding or around penetrations like windows. Our siding repair service focuses on these critical junctions. We don't just patch the siding; we inspect, repair, or replace the step flashing and counter-flashing integrated behind it. This ensures a watertight seal specific to Connecticut's freeze-thaw cycles, stopping water intrusion at the source and preventing the flashing failure we frequently see in local homes.
