Mills Construction | Siding & Roofing in St. Louis, MO 63129

Absolutely. Proper siding is your home's first defense against moisture. In our climate, compromised siding can allow water to seep into walls and up towards the roof structure, exacerbating issues like wet insulation. Our expert siding installation and repair create a continuous, water-resistant barrier. This protects your home's sheathing and, by extension, helps maintain a dry, healthy attic space, which is crucial for preventing the roof insulation moisture problems we often see locally.

It's directly connected. Heavy, melting snow and ice dams are a major cause of roof flashing failure and interior moisture issues in St. Louis winters. Our prompt and thorough snow removal from roofs, gutters, and walkways prevents excessive weight and ice dam formation. By managing snow load, we help protect your roof's critical flashing from the stress and corrosion that can lead to leaks, safeguarding your home from the water damage that often starts at the roof line.

Flashing is the metal sealant at roof joints, valleys, and chimneys—it's where leaks most often start. Corrosion from our humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles weakens this seal. When we handle siding replacement or roofing work, we meticulously inspect and replace corroded flashing as a standard part of our process. This proactive approach seals the critical intersections between your roof and walls, directly tackling one of the most frequent local roofing problems to ensure a long-lasting, watertight exterior for your home.
