SLH Construction | Roofing Services in La Salle, MI 48145

In La Salle, roof flashing often separates where it meets the siding due to weather wear and settling. When we install new siding, we meticulously inspect and reseal this critical junction. Properly integrated siding provides a solid, weather-tight base for the flashing, preventing water from getting behind it and causing leaks in your roof valleys or walls. It's a key part of a complete exterior protection system.

Absolutely. In many La Salle homes, a leak in the roof valley can sometimes be traced to failing siding on the adjacent wall. Wind-driven rain or ice dams can force water behind damaged siding boards, which then travels up under the roofing materials. Our repair process includes a thorough inspection of both the roof and siding to find the true entry point, ensuring we fix the root cause, not just the symptom.

We recommend a repair if the damage is isolated, like a few cracked boards near the roof line. However, for many older homes in our area experiencing persistent moisture issues, a full replacement is often the wiser long-term investment. Widespread wear, rot, or improper original installation can compromise the entire weather barrier. New, properly installed siding acts as a primary defense, working in tandem with your roof to keep your home dry and structurally sound.
