Absolutely. Properly installed siding acts as a critical secondary defense. Wind-driven rain during our coastal storms can exploit gaps where the roof meets the siding or around penetrations. Our siding installation and repair services focus on creating a tight, weather-resistant seal. By addressing these vulnerable areas, we help prevent water from sneaking behind your exterior and causing damage that might manifest as an interior leak, often mistaken for a roof-only issue.

It depends on the extent of the damage and the deck's overall condition. For minor wind damage like loose boards or railings, a targeted deck repair is often sufficient. However, if the storm has compromised the structural framing or the deck is older, a full deck replacement might be the safer, more cost-effective long-term solution. We provide honest, on-site assessments to determine the best course of action to ensure your outdoor space is both beautiful and secure for Maine's weather.

Roof valleys are channels where two roof slopes meet, and they handle a tremendous amount of water runoff. High winds can lift or damage the flashing (the metal sealing) in the valley, and can also drive debris like pine needles and branches into the channel, causing clogs and water backup. Our repair process involves clearing debris, inspecting and sealing the valley flashing, and often reinforcing this critical area with ice-and-water shield—a waterproof underlayment—to prevent future leaks from wind-driven rain.
