Under your shingles and underlayment sits the decking — the wood sheathing everything else depends on. It's also where corner-cutting roofers hide their shortcuts.
Why it matters
Shingles fastened to rotten or delaminated decking won't hold in wind, no matter how premium they are. Soft decking also signals past leaks and can hide mold. That's why a real replacement starts with a full tear-off and a board-by-board inspection — and why suspiciously cheap bids often skip it.
What we do
During every tear-off we walk the deck, replace compromised sections, and photograph what we find so you see exactly what you're paying for. It's your roof's foundation. We don't guess about foundations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is roof decking?
Decking (or sheathing) is the layer of plywood or OSB that the roofing materials attach to — the structural surface between your rafters and the underlayment and shingles. It's the foundation of the whole roof.
Does decking need to be replaced during a re-roof?
Sometimes. A tear-off exposes the decking, and any soft, rotted, or delaminated sheathing should be replaced before the new roof goes on. Nailing a new roof to bad decking guarantees problems.
