Micheal Barnette do it all | Decks & Railing & Roofing in Laurens, SC 29360

Yes, absolutely. Properly installed decks and railings are designed with drainage in mind. During construction, we ensure the deck's placement and slope do not interfere with your roof's drainage paths. We can also coordinate to install gutter extensions or redirect downspouts away from the deck area, preventing water from pooling near your home's foundation and alleviating the gutter overflow issues common in our area.

Consistent lawn care is a key defense against local roofing and foundation issues. Overgrown trees and branches can scrape and damage roof shingles and underlayment. By keeping trees trimmed back, we prevent physical damage and reduce leaf debris that clogs gutters, a leading cause of overflow. Furthermore, a healthy, well-maintained lawn promotes proper soil drainage, directing water away from your foundation and helping to keep your roof's underlying structure dry and sound.

It's a very wise precaution. In Laurens, weather conditions that wear on decks can also affect roofs. When we handle a deck replacement, we're already assessing the home's exterior. We recommend a complimentary visual roof check during the project. This allows us to spot potential warning signs of underlayment damage, such as missing granules in the gutter or compromised flashing near the roofline, so you can address small problems before they lead to major leaks.
