Absolutely. While ice dams form on the roof, proper siding acts as a critical secondary seal. At J. Hay Remodeling, we ensure your siding is tightly installed and fully integrated with your roof's edge and flashing. This prevents warm air from escaping through the walls and into the attic (a primary cause of ice dams) and stops water from backed-up dams from seeping behind your home's exterior, protecting your structure and insulation.

It very well could be. In many Newington homes, skylight leaks are often traced to failed integration between the roof flashing and the siding or wall materials on the side (the 'cheek wall') of the skylight. Our siding repair and replacement services specifically address these junctures. We meticulously inspect and reseal or replace the siding around the skylight to create a continuous, watertight barrier, stopping the leak at its source.

In our local climate, if water from ice dams or skylight leaks has been penetrating behind your siding for an extended period, repair may not be sufficient. We recommend replacement when we find widespread rot, compromised sheathing, or mold within the wall structure. Full replacement with J. Hay Remodeling allows us to install modern, water-resistant materials and proper moisture barriers, giving your Newington home a fresh, durable defense against future winter weather issues.
