In our climate, proper roof installation is crucial. We focus on creating a continuous thermal barrier with adequate attic insulation and ventilation. This prevents heat from escaping to melt snow unevenly, which is the primary cause of ice dams. For new installations, we also use ice and water shield underlayment at the eaves and in valleys, and ensure proper sealing around penetrations to block moisture intrusion, protecting your home's structure from the inside out.

A new story addition is a major project where roof integration is critical. Our process involves carefully tying the new roof structure into the existing one, ensuring seamless flashing and matching the pitch for proper water runoff. We pay special attention to the insulation and air sealing of the new attic space, extending proper ventilation to prevent condensation and thermal bridging. This holistic approach ensures your addition is not only beautiful but also durable against our local freeze-thaw cycles and humidity.

Absolutely. Interior remodels, especially in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, can increase indoor humidity. During any major remodeling project, we assess your home's overall ventilation, including bathroom exhaust fans and kitchen hoods, ensuring they vent properly to the outside—not into the attic. Poor venting can lead to excess moisture accumulating in the attic, compromising roof sheathing and insulation. We integrate these considerations into our remodeling plans to safeguard your entire home envelope.
