Brock Builders | General Contractors & Roofing in Columbus, IN 47201

Any new construction that alters your home's roofline or adds structures nearby can change how wind flows around your property. During a deck or addition project, our team at Brock Builders assesses the potential impact on your existing roof. We ensure proper integration and flashing, which is critical here in Columbus where wind can be a concern, to prevent new weak points that could lead to shingle or flashing separation.

Excellent question. Adding a skylight is a great way to bring in natural light, but it creates a new penetration in your roof that requires expert flashing. Our remodeling process includes using high-quality, ice-and-water shield around the opening and precision-installed step flashing integrated with the existing shingles. We pay special attention to this detail because proper flashing is the #1 defense against the wind-driven rain and separation issues common in our area.

For new modular or manufactured home construction in the Columbus area, we strongly recommend specifying impact-resistant shingles rated for high winds (often Class 4) and a robust synthetic underlayment. We also ensure the roof deck is securely fastened and that all flashing—especially around vents, chimneys, and valleys—is installed with extra care. This proactive approach during construction builds in long-term durability against the specific wind and storm patterns we experience in Southern Indiana.
