K & S Construction | General Contractors & Roofing in Montgomery, NY 12549

Common signs in our area include sagging roof lines, dark stains or streaks on interior ceilings, and a musty smell in the attic. The problem often starts with inadequate ventilation, which traps moisture and heat. This rot compromises the structural integrity of your roof deck (the plywood/OSB under the shingles), leading to more extensive and costly damage if not addressed. We perform thorough inspections to assess the extent of the rot and recommend a repair plan that includes fixing the underlying ventilation issue.

We tailor our ventilation solutions to your specific roof design and local climate. This often involves installing a balanced system with intake vents (like soffit vents) and exhaust vents (ridge or powered attic vents). This creates a continuous flow of air, expelling hot, moist air from your attic. For homes with existing rot, we replace damaged decking and ensure the new ventilation system is correctly installed to prevent recurrence, protecting your investment and improving your home's energy efficiency.

Absolutely. As a full-service contractor, we can manage the entire project. For example, if poor drainage from a roof has caused water to pool and damage foundation masonry or concrete walkways, our team can repair the roof, install proper gutters and downspouts, and then repair or replace the damaged masonry or concrete. This integrated approach ensures all elements of your home's exterior work together to protect against water damage, saving you time and ensuring consistent quality.
