Even a small gap in your siding can create an opportunity for water to get where it doesn’t belong.
At this jobsite, our construction estimator points out a piece of metal installed at the corner to help keep water out of the framing and structure. The problem? A large gap and nail penetrations create potential entry points for water.
It’s a reminder that choosing the right materials is only part of the job. Proper installation matters, too.
Have concerns about your siding or possible water intrusion? Our team can help you understand what’s happening and what needs attention.
What happens to the air leaving your bathroom and kitchen? It’s worth checking.
During a roof replacement, our team looks beyond the roof deck to check that bathroom exhaust fans and kitchen range ducting are connected properly and directed outside.
If these ducts are disconnected or release warm, moisture filled air into the attic, moisture can build up over time and contribute to condensation, mold, and wood damage.
Checking these connections while we’re in the attic gives our team an opportunity to spot issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
A roof replacement is about more than the new roofing material. It’s also a chance to look at important details that affect how the home functions.

Proper attic ventilation is about more than just having vents. It’s about making sure the entire system works together.
During this roof replacement, our project manager explains why we’re adding a ridge vent and blocking off the existing gable vents. The goal is to establish a more consistent airflow path, allowing fresh air to enter through the intake vents and warm, moist air to exit through the ridge.
When multiple ventilation openings work against the intended airflow pattern, the system may not perform as designed. That’s why it’s important to consider the placement and interaction of intake and exhaust vents when updating attic ventilation.
There’s more to check in this attic, too. In the next video, we’ll show you how our team checks the ducting for the bathroom exhaust fans and kitchen range.

A new roof starts with more than just removing the old shingles.
Once the existing roofing system is removed, our team takes the opportunity to inspect the roof deck and check the areas that play an important role in how the home functions.
That includes checking attic ventilation, making sure ducting is connected properly, and looking for anything else that needs attention before the new roofing system goes on.
These behind the scenes checks are an important part of the roof replacement process. The finished roof may be what you see, but the preparation underneath matters just as much.

Water doesn’t need a big opening to cause big problems.
At this home, the concrete patio was poured directly against the siding, creating an opportunity for water to get into the wall. There was metal flashing in place, but it wasn’t long enough to properly direct the water away from the framing.
Over time, water intrusion led to rot in the bottom plate and sub siding.
Our estimator breaks down exactly how the water was getting in, why the flashing wasn’t doing its job, and what should have been done differently.
These are the details that may not be obvious from the outside, but they can make a major difference in how well your home handles water.

Part 2: Your roof needs to be able to breathe!
A properly designed attic ventilation system needs both intake and exhaust. Air needs a way to enter the lower portion of the roof, move through the attic, and exit at the ridge.
During this inspection, our estimator found a ventilation setup that wasn’t providing that balanced airflow. The solution is to update the system with intake ventilation paired with a ridge vent, creating a more continuous path for air to move through the attic.
It’s a good reminder that attic ventilation isn’t just about how many vents you have. It’s about how the entire system works together.

Did you know the average family of four can add significant moisture to their home every day through everyday activities like breathing, cooking, and showering?
That moisture can make its way into the attic, which is why proper attic ventilation is so important.
In the next video, we’ll show you what we found and explain how our team is updating the ventilation system to improve airflow through the attic.
