Winston-Salem Roofing & General Contractor | MJ Construction NC

Great question. For any new construction or addition in Winston-Salem, we use roofing materials with algae-resistant coatings and specify corrosion-resistant, high-grade flashing. We also ensure proper roof pitch and ventilation during the design phase to minimize moisture retention, which is a key factor in both algae growth and metal corrosion common in our area.

Indirectly, yes. A major part of preventing flashing corrosion is controlling interior moisture and ensuring proper venting. During a kitchen or bath remodel, we upgrade exhaust fans to more powerful, ducted models that vent moisture outside the attic space, not into it. This reduces the overall humidity that can accelerate corrosion on roof penetrations and flashing around vents.

Careful integration is key. When we construct your new deck, we pay special attention to the ledger board attachment and flashing where the deck meets your home's siding and roof line. Improper flashing here is a major source of water intrusion that can lead to rot and corrosion in the underlying roof structure. Our method ensures water is directed away, safeguarding your home's envelope.
