Roof Tear-Off and Decking Repair
The decking is what everything else is nailed to. If it is soft, wet or cracked, a new roof will not last. We strip the old layers, test the deck, cut out and replace damaged boards and prepare a flat, solid surface for the new roof.

About roof tear-off and decking repair
How much decking usually needs replacing?
It varies a lot. Many roofs need only a few boards, and roofs with old leaks can need more. We mark and show every board, and we explain the plan before we replace it.
Can you replace decking without replacing the roof?
Sometimes, in small areas, but most decking repair happens during a tear-off when the whole deck can be checked.
What happens to the old material?
It is hauled away and disposed of, and we sweep the yard and driveway with a magnet.
