Absolutely. While ice dams form on the roof, proper siding installation is a critical part of your home's defense. We ensure siding is correctly flashed and integrated with your roof's edge and drip edge. This prevents melted ice and water from being forced behind the siding and into your walls, which is a common secondary damage from ice dams. A tight, well-installed siding system works with your roof to keep water out.

The roof repair always comes first. A leaking roof valley will continue to damage any structure beneath it, including your deck. We'll start by fixing the roof valley leak at its source, ensuring proper sealing and drainage. Then, we can assess your deck for any water damage, such as rotted boards or compromised framing, and perform the necessary deck repair or replacement. This step-by-step approach addresses the root cause to protect your investment.

Great question for our Crooksville homeowners. When designing your new deck, we consider roof runoff patterns. We can position the deck to avoid direct drainage from roof valleys, incorporate strategic grading or gentle slopes away from your house, and recommend materials and construction techniques that better withstand moisture. This proactive planning during deck construction helps manage water from your roof, protecting both your new deck and your home's foundation.
