Q&A
We're adding a second-story balcony. How do you protect against roof valley leaks where the new structure meets the old roof?
This is a critical detail we handle carefully. When integrating a new balcony addition with your existing roofline, we meticulously design and install custom flashing and ice & water shield in the newly created valleys. We ensure proper slope for water runoff and use high-quality, compatible roofing materials to create a seamless, watertight transition that prevents the valley leaks common in our Clay climate.
During a kitchen remodel, we discovered water damage from our chimney. Can you fix the flashing and update the interior?
Absolutely. This is a common issue we address. First, our roofing team will repair or replace the faulty chimney flashing with a durable, weather-tight solution to stop the leak at its source. Then, our remodeling crew can seamlessly repair any interior water damage to your kitchen walls or ceiling and continue with your planned remodel, ensuring a beautiful, dry, and safe finished space.
We want to build a detached garage. Does your construction include roofing that handles heavy snow and prevents valley leaks?
Yes, it does. For all new structures like garages, we design roofs with our local weather in mind. We use optimal pitch calculations for snow shed, install reinforced valley liners, and apply premium underlayment. We construct the roof framing to support heavy loads and ensure all flashing details are executed to the highest standard, giving you a durable garage that stands up to Clay winters without leaks.
