Roof deck rot often starts when moisture gets behind old or damaged siding, seeping into the wall structure and eventually reaching the roof's edge. Our professional siding installation creates a continuous, water-resistant barrier for your home's exterior. By ensuring proper flashing, sealing, and ventilation around the roof line, we stop moisture at the source, protecting the structural integrity of both your walls and your roof deck from the inside out.

Absolutely. Ice dams frequently cause water to back up under roofing materials and seep behind your siding, leading to hidden damage in the walls and soffits. When we repair ice dam damage, a full assessment of your siding is crucial. Often, siding replacement in the affected areas is necessary to remove water-logged materials, restore proper insulation, and re-establish a sealed exterior envelope that prevents future ice dam water intrusion.

After winter, check for cracks, warping, or loose panels on your siding, especially near the roof line and gutters. These are entry points for melting snow and ice. Also, look for interior signs like peeling paint or moisture stains on walls inside—these can indicate that compromised siding is letting moisture through, which can contribute to roof rot issues. Prompt repair of these siding faults is key to stopping small problems from becoming major, costly structural repairs.
