John's Handyman and Home Improvement Services | General Contractors & Roofing in Athens, OH 45701

Absolutely. In Athens, proper integration is key. When we build an addition or a new deck that connects to your house, we pay special attention to the roof flashing details at the junction. Improper installation is a common cause of the flashing lift and underlayment damage we see locally. Our team ensures all new work is seamlessly tied into your existing roofing system to prevent future leaks and damage.

It's possible, especially with multi-level homes. Water from a compromised roof or faulty flashing can run down walls and onto deck structures, leading to rot and damage over time. During a deck repair or replacement assessment, we inspect adjacent roofing and siding for issues. Addressing both the deck and the potential roof flashing problem together prevents recurring damage and protects your entire home's exterior.

When replacing a deck attached to your house, we often work near the roof's edge. Damaged underlayment, a frequent issue here, can mean hidden rot in the roof decking beneath your shingles. Before proceeding, we check this area. If we find issues, we can repair the roof structure and flashing as part of the deck project, ensuring your new deck has a solid, water-tight foundation to build upon.
