Southwest Preservations | Carpenters & Roofing in Springfield, MO 65803

Absolutely. High winds and flying debris common in our storms can crack or loosen siding, creating entry points for water that can travel up behind the wall and compromise your roof's edge or underlayment. Southwest Preservations provides thorough siding repair and replacement to seal your home's envelope, a critical first step in preventing leak-related issues, including those around skylights.

Skylight leaks often stem from failed flashing or compromised roof framing. Our process starts with a precise inspection to find the water's entry point. Repair typically involves expert carpentry to address any rotted wood in the surrounding structure, followed by resealing or replacing the flashing and ensuring a watertight integration with your roofing materials. It's a specialized repair that blends roofing and carpentry skills.

We generally recommend a coordinated approach. If your roof has sustained debris damage, addressing that first is crucial to stop active water intrusion. However, if the siding is also damaged or old, replacing it afterwards ensures the new roof edge integrates seamlessly with a solid, weather-resistant wall system. At Southwest Preservations, we manage both scopes of work to provide a complete, lasting solution for your Springfield home.
