Shane Carter Construction | Siding & Roofing in Plymouth, MA 02360

While the roof is the first line of defense, properly installed siding is crucial for a watertight seal. Our siding installation extends up to and integrates with your roof's edge and flashing systems. By ensuring this critical intersection is sealed with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, we prevent wind-driven rain and meltwater from infiltrating behind the siding and into the roof structure, which is a common cause of valley and underlayment issues in our coastal climate.

It depends on the source of the leak. Often, underlayment damage stems from water entering at the roof's edge or through compromised siding higher up on the wall. Our team will conduct a thorough inspection. In many cases, targeted siding repair or replacement around eaves, gables, and dormers can stop the water intrusion, allowing the roof underlayment to dry. We'll provide a honest assessment and recommend the most effective, cost-efficient solution—whether it's siding work, roofing, or both—to protect your home.

In older Plymouth homes, repeated leaks can compromise the sheathing and structural wood behind the siding. Spot repairs might address a single leak but miss widespread moisture damage or degraded weather barriers. A full siding replacement allows us to remove all old material, inspect and repair the underlying structure, and install a modern, integrated water-resistive barrier. This creates a completely new, durable shield against our wet and windy weather, solving the root cause of leaks and preventing future issues with your roof and walls for decades.
