Raber Framing | General Contractors & Roofing in Shipshewana, IN 46565

Our local weather, with its seasonal shifts, requires durable materials and proper construction techniques. For decks and additions, we focus on using materials that resist moisture and temperature changes common in LaGrange County. This includes pressure-treated lumber or composite decking and ensuring proper drainage and ventilation in additions to prevent issues like wood rot or moisture buildup, ensuring your investment lasts for years.

Roof flashing lift and storm leaks are frequent issues here after high winds or heavy rains. We address these by first conducting a thorough inspection to locate the compromised flashing or entry point. Repairs involve carefully resealing or replacing the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys with durable, weather-resistant materials. We also check the surrounding shingles and underlayment to ensure the entire repair is watertight and fortified against future Shipshewana storms.
