It depends on the extent of the damage. We start with a thorough inspection of the valley, flashing, and surrounding shingles. Often, targeted repairs to the flashing or a section of the roof can solve a valley leak. However, if the shingles are extensively aged or the decking is compromised, a replacement may be the most cost-effective, long-term solution. We'll provide a clear, honest assessment and recommendation for your specific situation.

Proper siding installation is a critical line of defense. If a roof leak goes unnoticed, water can run down behind your siding, causing rot, mold, and structural issues. Our siding installation, repair, and replacement services ensure a tight, weather-resistant seal. We pay special attention to the critical intersection where the roof meets the wall (the eaves and rake edges) to prevent water intrusion, safeguarding your home's interior and structure from leaks originating above.

Integrating new construction with an existing roof is a key detail we handle meticulously. For decks, we ensure proper flashing where the ledger board attaches to the house. For additions, we carefully tie the new roof into the old, creating sealed valleys and installing step flashing along walls. This proactive approach during the build prevents the very valley and seam leaks common in older Lawrence homes, giving you a seamless, watertight result from the start.
