Richardsons Construction | Roofing Services in Falcon, MO 65470

In Falcon, roof issues like flashing failure often lead to water running down siding or pooling near your home's foundation, which can damage your existing deck's structure and ledger board. A properly constructed or repaired deck by Richardsons includes strategic waterproofing details and correct slope away from your house. This not only protects the deck itself but also helps manage water runoff from your roof, preventing secondary damage to your home's exterior and interior.

We generally recommend addressing the roof first. Here's why: a roof replacement can involve significant foot traffic, dropped tools, and debris that could damage your existing deck surface. By completing the roof first with Richardsons, we ensure no new deck is put at risk. Furthermore, once your new roof is installed with proper water management, we can then design and build your deck or perform repairs with the confidence that it will be protected from above for years to come.

Absolutely. A deteriorated deck can trap moisture against your home, compromising the wall and allowing water to seep inside, which ruins carpets and flooring. When Richardsons performs a deck replacement, we meticulously inspect and flash the connection point (the ledger board) to the house. This creates a critical secondary water barrier. By solving this exterior vulnerability, we help stop moisture at its source, protecting your interior finishes like carpeting and giving you peace of mind during our heavy rain seasons.
