Roof & Deck Repairs / Replacement
Your roof and deck are critical parts of your home’s exterior that protect and enhance your living space. United We Build provides expert Roof and Deck Repair/Replacement services to keep these structures safe, functional, and looking great. Over time, roofs can suffer from storm damage (like wind or hail), develop leaks, or simply age past their lifespan, while decks can experience rot, loose boards, or instability. Our team is highly experienced in diagnosing and fixing these issues effectively.
Roof Repairs & Replacement
If your roof is leaking or missing shingles, our first step is a thorough inspection to determine the extent of damage. We check not only the outer roofing material (shingles, tiles, metal panels, etc.) but also the underlying components like flashing, underlayment, and roof decking for any hidden issues. Many roof leaks start small but can lead to significant structural damage or mold if not addressed promptly. In
fact, about 33% of homeowners end up replacing their roofs primarily due to persistent leaking issues – tackling problems early with professional repairs can help avoid a full roof replacement. United We Build will repair localized issues: replacing damaged shingles or tiles, resealing or installing new flashing around chimneys and vents, fixing gutter and downspout problems, and patching minor holes. We use high-quality roofing materials that match your existing roof to maintain its appearance and integrity. If the roof damage is extensive or the roof is over 20-30 years old and at the end of its service life, we may recommend a full roof replacement. In that case, we’ll guide you through selecting a long-lasting new roofing system (be it architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing, etc.), and we’ll install it with precision – including proper ventilation and insulation – to protect your home for decades to come. A new roof is an investment that can significantly boost curb appeal and resale value (new roofs can recover ~65-70% of cost at resale on average) while providing peace of mind against leaks and weather.
Deck Repairs & Replacement
Decks are wonderful outdoor living spaces, but they are also exposed to the elements year-round, which can lead to wear and safety concerns. We offer deck repair services that address common problems like loose or wobbly railings, cracked or splintered deck boards, water damage and rot in the wood, and unstable footings or posts. Our carpenters will replace any rotten sections with new pressure-treated lumber or composite decking, secure and reinforce connections (for example, installing proper galvanized bolts and brackets if we find only nails were used originally, since about 90% of deck collapses are due to ledger board failures at the connection to the house). We take deck safety extremely seriously – according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an average of 6,000 people per year are injured in the U.S. due to deck or porch collapses or failures. To prevent such hazards, we thoroughly inspect support posts, beams, joists, and hardware. We will tighten or upgrade hardware, add bracing, and ensure the deck meets current building codes (including proper spacing of railing balusters, secure stair connections, etc.). If a deck is beyond safe repair – for instance, if multiple structural members are compromised by rot or if the design is outdated and unsafe – we can replace it entirely with a new, custom-built deck. Our deck designs can be tailored to your needs, whether you want a simple platform deck or an elaborate multi-level structure. We work with materials of your choice, including natural woods like cedar or durable composite decking that offers low maintenance. A new or repaired deck not only extends your living area outdoors but also adds to your home’s appeal and value. With United We Build handling your roof and deck repairs or replacements, you can be confident that your home’s first line of defense (the roof) and your favorite outdoor retreat (the deck) are solid, safe, and ready to enjoy for years to come.
