Roof Decking Replacement

Soft spots underfoot, a sagging roofline, nails that will not hold, or dark, rotted boards seen from the attic can point to damaged decking. In Stamford, CT, the full condition of the sheathing usually shows only once the old shingles are torn off.

Decking replacement work
Work may include removing rotted boards or plywood, installing new sheathing, renailing loose panels, covering every decking joint with a self-adhering membrane strip at least 4 inches wide as Connecticut requires, and adding ice barrier.

Repair or replace?
The amount depends on leak history, ventilation, past repairs and the age of the home. Ask how the estimate prices extra decking found during tear-off, and confirm the contractor checks attic ventilation too.

Call about roof decking and describe soft spots, sagging, or any visible rot.
