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.

Dillon at North East Roofing is the best! He made three separate visits to diagnose a complex problem with the flat roof under our deck and charged us less than his time was worth. He’s responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

I called North East after this heavy rain storm we had. We had a ton of water come down our chimney, Dillon got out here the same day I called and had a quote for me by the end of the day. They got us on the schedule that very next day, pretty much a 24 hour turn around from the time I called to the time they did the work. These guys helped us out when no one else could, we highly recommended Dillon and his crew at North East Roofing

I’ve used Dillon and his team more times than I can count at this point, and there’s a reason he’s the first call I make whenever anything comes up roofing, siding, or construction related. Dillon actually knows his stuff and isn’t sub-contracting everything out. He walks you through what needs to be done, why, and what your real options are. You never feel like you’re being upsold or taken advantage of. That alone is worth its weight in gold when it comes to contractors. The work itself is exceptional. The attention to detail on my projects has been consistent every single time, which is honestly hard to find. He’s not rushing to the next job. He cares about how it comes out. On top of that, he beat every other quote I got without sacrificing anything on quality. He also offers flexible financing options, which made the whole process a lot more manageable. But what really keeps me coming back is that Dillon is just a good, honest person. That sounds simple, but in this industry it genuinely goes a long way. Can’t recommend him enough.

Dillon and his team at North East Roofing were fantastic to work with! I needed my roof replaced right before putting my house on the market, and Dillon went above and beyond to help me choose a color that would really appeal to potential buyers. The finished roof looks absolutely beautiful, and I couldn’t be happier with the color he recommended. The entire project was done beautifully, and the house sold incredibly fast! I highly recommend North East Roofing and Dillon in particular, they truly delivered outstanding results.

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
  • Mold or moisture associated with a roof leak
  • Damage discovered after shingles are removed

Roof Leak Repair

Persistent water entry is one of the most common reasons localized roof decking becomes damaged.

Roof Inspection

Accessible attic evidence may reveal staining, rot or moisture before the roofing is opened.

Ice Dam Roof Repair

Backed-up winter meltwater can affect sheathing near the eaves.

Roof Replacement

Decking is evaluated during tear-off and unsuitable sections can be replaced before new roofing is installed.

Our Roof Decking Repair Process

At North East Roofing & Home Improvement, we repair the damaged substrate as well as the roofing failure that allowed water to reach it.

Written Repair Estimate

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.

2. Open the Affected Roofing

Enough roofing is removed to expose the damaged area and establish its boundaries.

3. Replace Unsound Sheathing

Deteriorated material is removed and suitable new decking is installed.

4. Restore the Roofing System

Underlayment, flashing and roofing are rebuilt so the source of the damage is corrected.

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.

The parent roof-repair service connects decking damage to the leak or failure that caused it.

Roof Leak Repair

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.

Does rotten decking mean I need a whole new roof?

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.

Can decking damage be confirmed before the roof is opened?

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