Darnells Decking & More | Decks & Railing & Roofing in Lafayette, IN 47904

Absolutely. A properly constructed deck includes critical flashing and waterproofing details where it meets your home's siding and roofline. During a deck replacement, our team meticulously inspects and seals this transition point, which is a common source of water intrusion that can lead to underlayment damage or leaks near lower roof edges, effectively safeguarding your home's structure.

It's possible, especially if the deck is attached near the affected area. Improper drainage from a deck surface or damaged siding can direct water towards skylight openings. Our repair process includes evaluating the entire exterior system. We'll fix the immediate leak at the skylight and also address any deck-related drainage or siding issues to ensure a comprehensive, lasting solution for your Lafayette home.

In our Lafayette climate, protecting the roof underlayment—the water-resistant barrier beneath your shingles—is crucial. During deck construction or attachment, the integrity of this underlayment at the house connection must be maintained. We use precise techniques and materials to ensure the deck's ledger board is sealed and flashed correctly, preventing any compromise to your roof's primary defense against moisture and ice dams.
