A DURABLE ROOF REPAIR DEPENDS ON A SOUND SURFACE BENEATH IT
Roof decking (also known as sheathing) serves as the primary structural layer of the roof, placed directly above rafters/trusses with a layer of underlayment above which the shingles are installed.
In cases where damaged decking severely deteriorates, leaving fasteners unable to hold their place or creates an unsafe condition for the roof’s structural integrity, the damaged decking needs to be repaired along with the failed roofing system that caused the water intrusion.
SIGNS OF DAMAGED ROOF DECKING
- Soft or spongy roof areas
- Visible sagging
- Repeated leaks in the same area
- Rot visible from an accessible attic
- Darkened or stained sheathing
- Delaminating plywood
- Fasteners no longer holding properly

Can You Repair Only Part of the Roof Deck?
Yes. If only a small portion of the decking is damaged, the damaged decking can be removed and replaced while sound portions of surrounding decking remain intact.
It is often impossible to determine the full extent of damaged decking without tearing off some of the roofing above the damaged decking to expose the deck.
1. Identify the Moisture Source
We determine the leak, flashing failure or other condition that allowed water to reach the deck.
Replacing rotten decking without correcting the roof leak that caused it does not solve the underlying problem. Both the substrate and the water-entry path must be addressed.
WHAT DOES ROOF DECKING REPAIR COST?
The cost associated with repairing damaged decking will vary depending upon the extent of the damaged decking, accessibility to the area where the decking exists, type of roofing material existing above the decking and determining what extent of further damage is able to be identified prior to removing roofing material.
Decking is one of many potential repair items that could potentially change once tear-off begins due to hidden damage/decay which is difficult to measure from the exterior surface.

ROOF DECKING REPAIR FAQS
Can you see rotten roof decking from the attic?
Sometimes. Staining, deterioration or visible rot may be apparent from below, although some damage remains concealed.

Not necessarily. Localized decking damage may be repaired as part of a targeted roofing repair.
Can shingles be installed over damaged decking?
Roofing requires a suitable attachment surface. Severely damaged decking should be addressed before the roof covering is restored.
What causes roof decking to become soft?
Water damage, long-term leaks, condensation and material deterioration are common causes.

Sometimes, but concealed damage may only become fully visible after the roofing above it is removed.
