Yes, it's very likely. Flashing corrosion is a common issue here due to our damp climate and salty air, which can accelerate wear on the metal strips that seal roof protrusions like chimneys, vents, and skylights. At Rhyatt Construction, we inspect the flashing for rust, cracks, or separation. Our repair process involves carefully removing the compromised material, preparing the surface, and installing new, corrosion-resistant flashing sealed with high-grade waterproofing to prevent future moisture intrusion and protect the underlying roof deck.

Our thorough gutter cleaning service involves removing all leaves, pine needles, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, then flushing the system with water to ensure proper flow. This is a critical maintenance task, especially in our area with many trees. Clogged gutters cause water to overflow and pool against your roof edge and siding. Over time, this persistent moisture can lead to wood rot in the fascia, soffit, and even the roof deck itself, as well as compromise your home's foundation. Regular cleaning helps prevent these costly issues.

Several key indicators suggest a replacement may be more cost-effective. These include widespread or recurring leaks, extensive granule loss from asphalt shingles (you'll find them in your gutters), multiple cracked or curling shingles, sagging areas on the roof plane, or daylight visible through the roof boards in your attic. Significant roof deck rot, which we sometimes find during inspections of older homes here, also necessitates a full replacement to ensure structural integrity. We provide a detailed, honest assessment to help you make the right long-term decision for your home.
