Thinking of building a new patio, outdoor kitchen, or stringing lights for that perfect backyard hangout?
Start with your roof.

At Fox Roofing Company, we’ve helped homeowners across Irvine and Orange County avoid costly headaches by making sure their roof is in great shape before launching into backyard upgrades.

Here’s why your summer projects should begin with a quick look overhead—and what to watch for before you dig into anything below.

🧱 1. New Construction Can Uncover Old Roof Issues

We’ve seen it plenty of times: a homeowner installs a beautiful new pergola or outdoor room—only to realize their roof above it was already leaking.

Before you:

Build a covered patio
Install solar lights or wiring
Add a deck or outdoor ceiling fan

…make sure your roof, fascia, and gutters are solid. Otherwise, you may be sealing water into a hidden space—leading to mold, rot, or costly teardown later.

💧 2. Leaks Don’t Always Show Up Where They Start

Water travels. What looks like a minor issue near the edge of your roof could be quietly:

Rotting fascia boards
Warping your eaves
Damaging your new exterior paint or siding

So before you invest in backyard upgrades, let us check for early signs of water intrusion, especially around edges, gutters, and overhangs.

🌬️ 3. Wind Damage from Spring Storms Can Linger

Spring winds across Orange County may have:

Shifted tiles
Lifted shingles
Loosened flashing near edges

Those materials often go unnoticed—until summer heat expands the roof deck and makes minor damage worse. We’ll spot those risks early and fix them before you spend on outdoor upgrades that could get damaged next.

🛠️ 4. We Work Around Your Renovation Plans

If you’re planning summer projects, timing matters. Our roofing team can:

Inspect your roof and overhangs
Coordinate with your contractor or designer
Help you decide if roof repairs or a replacement should come before your upgrades

Whether you’re remodeling or just refreshing, your roof should support your vision—not surprise it.
