Absolutely. While the roof valley itself is a roofing component, properly installed siding acts as a critical secondary barrier. It directs water away from the wall and prevents it from backing up under the roof's edge. At Scott Roofing, we ensure our siding installations integrate seamlessly with your roof's drainage system, providing a comprehensive defense against the moisture that causes valley leaks.

It's often wise to address both. Corroded flashing can allow water to seep behind your siding, leading to rot and hidden damage in the wall sheathing. When we repair or replace corroded flashing, we inspect the adjacent siding for water damage. Tackling any necessary siding repairs simultaneously ensures a complete seal and prevents future problems, saving you time and money in the long run.

For our climate, we recommend durable, low-maintenance materials like vinyl or engineered wood siding. These options resist moisture, won't corrode like some metals, and provide excellent insulation to protect the roof rafters and attic from temperature extremes. During a siding replacement, we can also add extra weather-resistant barriers for enhanced protection against the driving rain and snow common in our area.
