Day One Construction | Decks & Railing & Roofing in Bonney Lake, WA 98391

Absolutely. A well-designed deck with a proper overhang or a dedicated patio cover can provide significant protection. In our area, consistent moisture contributes to roof algae and granule loss. By extending your roofline or adding a cover, you shield sections of your siding and foundation from direct rainfall and reduce the overall moisture load on your primary roof, helping to prolong its life and maintain its appearance.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor granule loss in specific areas, often from wind or debris, can sometimes be addressed with spot repairs. However, widespread granule loss across your roof here in Bonney Lake is typically a sign of an aging roof system nearing the end of its service life. We provide honest, thorough inspections to determine if repair is a safe, temporary solution or if a replacement is the most cost-effective way to prevent leaks and structural damage down the line.

It's a smart concern given our local weather. We recommend low-maintenance composite decking or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar or pressure-treated lumber sealed for our climate. For the substructure (joists and beams), we use premium, weather-treated lumber. Proper design is also key—we ensure excellent drainage and airflow underneath the deck to prevent moisture buildup, which can contribute to issues not just on the deck but also on your home's siding and lower roof areas, where algae often starts.
