Brunelle & Sons | General Contractors & Roofing in Alburgh, VT 05440

Our carpenters focus on the structural integrity beneath your roof. We inspect the roof deck (sheathing) for early signs of moisture damage or weakness. If repair or replacement is needed, we use properly dried and treated lumber and ensure precise installation to maintain a solid, ventilated base for your roofing materials. This proactive carpentry work is crucial for preventing rot and extending the life of your entire roof system.

Alburgh's weather, with lake-effect moisture and temperature swings, can accelerate corrosion on standard metal flashings. Our approach involves two steps. First, our carpenters carefully remove and assess all existing flashing around chimneys, valleys, and vents. Second, we install new, high-quality flashing materials—often opting for more durable metals or coated options suitable for our climate—and ensure they are integrated seamlessly and securely with the roof deck and siding to prevent future water intrusion and rust.

Not necessarily. A full roof replacement should always include an inspection of the underlying deck by a skilled carpenter. Simply laying new shingles over a compromised deck can lead to recurring problems, sagging, and interior damage. At Brunelle & Sons, our carpentry and roofing teams work together. We always assess and repair or replace any rotten sheathing before installing the new roof, ensuring your investment provides a complete and lasting solution.
