Chris Matthew Construction - Wilmington's Qualified Roof Repair

Proper roof ventilation relies on a well-constructed attic space. Our carpenters expertly frame and install soffit, ridge, and gable vents to create a continuous airflow path. This prevents heat and moisture buildup—a common issue here—which can warp roof decking, damage shingles, and lead to mold. We ensure the structural integrity of these critical components for a lasting fix.

In Wilmington's climate, granule loss often signals aging shingles or underlying wear. While shingles may need replacement, a carpenter's role is crucial in inspecting and repairing the roof deck (sheathing) beneath. We check for water-damaged or weak wood and replace it with durable, pressure-treated lumber. This ensures your new roofing has a solid, level foundation, preventing future leaks and structural issues.

Leaks often occur at roof penetrations due to failed flashing or rotten framing. Our carpenters carefully remove damaged materials, repair or replace the surrounding rafters and decking, and rebuild a solid, plumb base for the new flashing. This precise work is essential for a watertight seal, especially with our frequent coastal rains, and prevents recurring leaks and interior damage.
