Falcon View General Construction | Roofing Services in Portland, OR 97223

In Portland's wet climate, roof flashing—the metal strips sealing joints around chimneys, vents, and skylights—can fail due to age, improper installation, or seasonal expansion and contraction. This often leads to leaks. At Falcon View, we start with a thorough inspection to identify separation or corrosion. Our repair process involves carefully removing the compromised flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, code-compliant flashing sealed with high-grade waterproofing materials. For skylight leaks, a common local issue, we also check and reseal the surrounding framework to ensure a complete, watertight solution that protects your home.

Planning a deck in Portland requires considering our specific weather and your lifestyle. Key factors include material choice (like pressure-treated wood or composite for durability in rain), proper drainage and slope to prevent water pooling, and orientation for optimal sunlight. Our design process starts with a site visit to assess your yard's layout, discuss your needs for entertaining or relaxation, and ensure the design complements your home's architecture. We handle all aspects from permits to construction, focusing on a structurally sound frame and railing system built to last through our damp winters and beautiful summers.

The decision depends on the extent of damage and the siding's overall condition. Repair is often suitable for isolated issues like a few cracked boards, minor impact damage, or a small section with moisture intrusion that hasn't affected the sheathing. Full replacement becomes necessary when there is widespread rot, chronic moisture problems behind the siding, significant fading or warping, or if you're updating your home's insulation and weather barrier. During our assessment, we check for hidden damage and discuss the long-term benefits of each option, ensuring your home's exterior is both protective and visually cohesive.
