Absolutely. Addressing roof decking rot is a critical first step we never skip. When we handle your roofing project, we start by removing the old shingles to inspect the entire deck. Any rotted or damaged wood is replaced immediately to ensure your new roof has a strong, secure foundation. This prevents future leaks and structural issues, which are common in our area due to humidity and weather.

Proper excavation is the unsung hero of a durable addition. Before we pour a single footing, our team carefully excavates the site, assessing soil conditions and planning for proper water drainage away from your new and existing foundation. This step is crucial in Morris to manage rainwater and prevent moisture from seeping back toward your home, which can lead to the very foundation and rot issues we aim to avoid.

Strategic trenching is key to managing water, the main culprit behind foundation shifting and roof underlayment damage. We dig trenches to install or repair French drains, downspout extensions, and gutter systems that channel water far away from your home's perimeter. By controlling groundwater and runoff, we help protect your foundation's integrity and reduce the moisture that can lead to roof deck rot, solving two common local problems at once.
