It shouldn't, if done correctly. A key part of our process for any building addition or new deck construction is a thorough assessment of your existing roof structure and flashing. We ensure the new work integrates seamlessly without compromising the integrity of your current roof system, specifically addressing vulnerable points like chimney and step flashing to prevent new leaks.

That's a smart concern for our area. When we perform deck repair or replacement, we always inspect the adjacent home structure, including the siding and the roof or chimney above the deck. We look for signs of water intrusion, rot, or compromised flashing that could have dripped onto the deck frame. Addressing these issues together protects your investment and prevents recurring damage.

Our coastal salt air, high humidity, and occasional strong storms can cause metal flashing to corrode or pull away from seals over time. When we replace or repair a roof, we don't just patch it; we remove the old flashing, prepare the surface properly, and install new, corrosion-resistant flashing sealed with high-grade urethane or membrane systems designed for our climate. This creates a long-lasting barrier against water intrusion.
