Absolutely. While ice dams form on the roof, proper siding and insulation play a crucial role. Up North Roofing ensures your siding is properly installed and sealed to prevent warm air from escaping your attic, which is a primary cause of ice dams. By creating a tight thermal envelope, we help keep your roof deck cold and prevent the snow melt that leads to damaging ice buildup at the eaves.

Yes, it's a smart precaution. High winds that can lift flashing often put tremendous pressure on your siding as well, potentially loosening panels or compromising seals. Our team recommends a combined inspection of both your roofing and siding systems after severe weather. We'll check for any siding damage that could allow water behind the panels, which, combined with compromised flashing, could lead to significant water intrusion in your Peshtigo home's walls.

During a siding replacement, we implement key protective measures. We install a robust weather-resistant barrier behind the new siding and pay special attention to sealing all penetrations and corners to block driven rain and meltwater. We also evaluate and can upgrade the underlying wall insulation. This comprehensive approach ensures that if water ever gets past your roof's defenses, your home's walls have an added layer of protection against the moisture common with Peshtigo's ice dam issues.
