New, properly installed siding is a critical line of defense. It acts as a weather-resistant shield, directing water away from your home's sheathing and roof framing. In our climate, damaged or old siding allows driven rain and melting snow to seep behind the walls, leading to trapped moisture that can migrate upward and cause roof decking rot. Our expert installation ensures tight seals, proper flashing integration with the roof, and adequate ventilation to keep the entire structure dry.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Small, isolated issues like cracks or loose panels can often be repaired to restore the protective barrier. However, if your siding is aging, has widespread damage, or shows signs of previous water intrusion behind it, a full replacement is the wiser choice for long-term protection. Compromised siding can let water into your walls, which then saturates the roof underlayment from the side, leading to failure. We offer free inspections to assess the condition and recommend the best solution to protect your Des Moines home.

Absolutely. A responsible exterior project starts with a thorough inspection. When we replace siding, we carefully remove the old material and immediately inspect the underlying sheathing—which is often the same material as your roof deck. This allows us to identify any soft spots, rot, or mold that may have started due to previous siding failure. Addressing this damage during the siding project is crucial; installing new siding over a compromised structure won't solve the moisture problem and could lead to more extensive, costly roof repairs later.
