Slick Construction | Flooring & Roofing in Phillipsburg, NJ 08865

Absolutely. Water from roof skylight leaks or deck rot often damages ceilings, walls, and subfloors in rooms below. As part of our remodeling service, we don't just install new surfaces—we first locate and repair the source of the moisture, replace any rotted structural elements like subflooring, and ensure the area is properly sealed and ventilated. This integrated approach fixes the leak's consequences and prevents future issues.

Preventing deck rot is a priority in our Phillipsburg area. We use pressure-treated lumber or composite materials specifically rated for moisture resistance. Our construction focuses on proper water drainage, sealing all cut ends, and ensuring adequate airflow underneath the deck. For decks attached to the house, we install expert flashing details where the deck meets the siding to prevent water intrusion—a common cause of the roof deck rot we often repair.

Not always. Many skylight leaks in Phillipsburg homes are due to failed seals or flashing around the unit, not the entire roof. Our roofing team first performs a detailed inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. We often resolve these leaks by resealing or replacing the skylight flashing and ensuring the surrounding shingles are properly integrated. This targeted repair is more cost-effective and can extend the life of your existing roof.
