Hunter Construction | Roofing Services in New Richmond, WI 54017

Absolutely, and it's a key consideration in our New Richmond area. When we construct a building addition or a new deck, we ensure the new structure doesn't compromise your existing roof's drainage or ventilation. Poorly planned additions can trap moisture against roof decking, leading to the rot we commonly see here. We carefully integrate the new work with your current roofing system to prevent these issues from the start.

It's a smart time to evaluate. Significant granule loss in New Richmond often signals a roof is nearing the end of its life. During a full roof replacement, we inspect the underlying roof decking for the soft spots or rot common in our climate. If your deck is older, coordinating a deck replacement with your roofing project can be efficient. It allows for seamless weather protection and ensures both critical structures are solid and secure for years to come.

In many homes, deck structures are attached to or near the house's roof eaves and siding. Damaged, leaking, or poorly flashed decks in New Richmond can direct water back towards the house wall and up under the roof edge. This constant moisture exposure is a primary cause of roof decking rot. Our deck repair services focus on fixing these leaks, improving drainage away from your home, and ensuring proper flashing—effectively stopping a major source of moisture before it can damage your roof structure.
