While siding itself doesn't fix a roof leak, it's a critical part of your home's weatherproofing system. Damaged or old siding can allow wind-driven rain and moisture to seep behind your walls and up under your roof's edge or flashing. By installing or repairing your siding with proper sealing and integration with your roof's drip edge, we create a continuous barrier. This prevents water from finding secondary entry points, ensuring that any roof repair we perform for a valley or skylight leak is the only point of defense needed.

This is a common scenario we see in Staten Island. The correct approach is to address the roof valley leak first. Water running down a compromised valley is often the cause of the siding damage below. Our expert team will first repair the roof valley's flashing and seals to stop the water source. Once the roof is watertight, we can then assess and repair the damaged siding. This sequential fix ensures the problem is solved permanently and prevents you from having to redo the siding work later.

Absolutely. A full siding replacement is the perfect opportunity for a comprehensive weatherproofing check. When we replace your siding, we carefully remove the materials around roof protrusions like skylights. This gives us direct access to inspect the skylight flashing and seals—a common leak source. We can then reseal or replace any compromised flashing before the new siding is installed and integrated properly. This proactive, bundled service saves you money and future headaches, ensuring both your new siding and existing skylights are leak-free.
