Our Roof Decking Replacement Services
We focus on every detail to ensure your roof decking is strong and secure. This includes thorough checks, careful removal of old materials, and picking the best new decking products for lasting protection.
Comprehensive Inspection
First, we perform a detailed inspection of the entire roof decking. We look for signs of rot, water damage, mold, and structural weaknesses that could cause future problems. Our inspection tools include moisture meters and infrared cameras to find hidden issues.
We document all findings in a clear report. This helps us and you understand the current condition and exactly where repairs or replacement are needed. We also assess any damage risks related to weather or pests to plan the best work.
Safe Decking Removal
When we remove your old roof decking, safety is our top priority. We handle debris and damaged boards carefully to avoid injury and property damage. Our team uses protective gear and follows strict safety guidelines.
We separate materials for proper disposal or recycling where possible. This reduces waste and keeps your property clean. During removal, we protect the rest of your roof and home from exposure to outside elements.
Premium Materials Selection
We choose decking materials based on strength, durability, and compatibility with your home’s structure. Our options include treated plywood and oriented strand board (OSB), both resistant to moisture and decay.
All materials meet local building codes and industry standards. Using quality products ensures your new roof decking can withstand weather changes and support roofing systems without warping or cracking. We can also advise on material choices based on budget and roof design.
Signs Your Roof Decking Needs Replacement
We watch closely for specific changes in your roof that signal decking issues. These signs can show us when the wooden base needs fixing or replacing.
Water Damage and Rot
Water damage is one of the most common reasons for roof decking problems. When water seeps through damaged shingles or leaks, it reaches the decking wood. We look for soft, spongy spots or discoloration on the roof’s underside or attic ceiling. These signs show the wood has absorbed moisture.
Rot happens when wood stays wet for too long. It weakens the decking and can cause it to crumble. If the decking is rotting, it can't support roofing materials properly, which can lead to bigger roof problems. Timely replacement stops damage from spreading.
Sagging or Uneven Roof Surfaces
A sagging roof means the decking is losing strength. We check for areas where the roof dips or looks uneven. This often means the wood has weakened due to age, moisture, or rot.
Uneven surfaces can cause shingles to crack or break. It also allows water to pool, increasing damage. If we spot sagging or uneven spots, it usually means the decking needs replacing to ensure the roof stays safe and stable.
Visible Mold and Mildew
Mold and mildew are clear signs of excess moisture in the roof decking. We inspect for black, green, or white patches in the attic or on the underside of the roof deck.
These fungi feed on damp wood and can spread quickly. Besides damaging the wood, mold can affect indoor air quality. If we find mold or mildew, we know the decking is compromised and requires replacement to protect your home.
