Proper design is key. For new roofs or additions like dormers, we calculate pitch and install high-capacity gutter systems to handle heavy snowmelt and rain, directing water away from your foundation. We also use quality underlayment and ice/water shields in vulnerable areas to prevent the leaks that often occur after winter thaws.

We can design and install integrated gutter extensions or underground drainage systems to ensure water from your roof is channeled safely away from the new structure and your home's foundation, preventing erosion and moisture issues.

Yes, it's a critical step, especially given local leak patterns. Before any interior remodel, we inspect the corresponding roof section and attic for signs of past or potential water intrusion. This allows us to repair any roofing issues first, ensuring your beautiful new remodel is built on a dry, sound structure.
