Simon Says Home Improvement | Carpenters & Roofing in Metairie, LA 70001

Great question! While we handle full roof replacements, our carpentry expertise is key for many wind-related repairs. We can expertly repair or replace the underlying roof decking (sheathing) that's often damaged when shingles are torn off. We also reinforce fascia boards, soffits, and trim that take a beating in our storms, ensuring a solid base for any new roofing materials and preventing future moisture intrusion.

Absolutely. In our humid climate, trapped hot air in an attic condenses, leading to damp insulation, mold, and wood rot. As part of our roofing and carpentry services, we assess and improve attic ventilation. This might involve installing ridge vents, soffit vents, or powered attic fans. Proper ventilation helps regulate temperature and moisture, protecting your insulation and the structural integrity of your roof from the inside out.

Choosing the right materials and installation is crucial. We recommend durable options like pressure-treated wood, vinyl, or aluminum that resist moisture and wind. As expert carpenters and fence installers, we ensure posts are set deep in concrete for stability and that the design allows wind to pass through (like a picket style) rather than acting as a solid wall. Properly built, a Simon Says fence will stand strong through our seasonal weather.
