Almost Heaven Building Company | General Contractors & Roofing in Charleston, WV 25312

Yes, it can. When we build a deck or addition that connects to your home, proper integration with the existing roofline and flashing is critical. In Charleston, flashing separation is a common issue. Our team meticulously installs or repairs step flashing, counter-flashing, and kick-out flashing where the new structure meets your house to prevent water intrusion and protect against the local weather patterns that cause nail pops and leaks.

It depends on the source of the problem. If water from compromised roof flashing has caused rot or structural damage to your deck's ledger board (where it attaches to the house), a repair or even a full deck replacement may be necessary. We start by inspecting and fixing the roof flashing to stop the water source. Then, we assess the deck's condition—performing targeted deck repair or recommending a replacement with proper waterproofing details to prevent future issues common in our area.

A well-designed building addition provides an opportunity to address and upgrade your entire roofing system. When we construct an addition, we integrate the new roof section seamlessly with the old, replacing aged or separated flashing throughout the connection points. This proactive approach during construction allows us to reinforce the entire roof's defense against the specific local issues of flashing separation and nail pops, often improving the longevity and performance of your existing roof as well.
