Roof Decking Replacement

In Lakeland, FL, a roof that sags between rafters, feels spongy underfoot, or has leaked for a long time may have damaged decking, the sheathing beneath the underlayment. Stay off a soft roof and watch for stains on attic boards.

What decking work involves
During a tear-off, a roofing contractor typically exposes the decking, marks soft or delaminated sheets, cuts out rotted sections, fastens new sheathing to the rafters, and re-nails sound boards before underlayment goes on.

Repair or replace?
Decking condition is often unknown until the old roof comes off. Ask how the estimate prices replacement sheets, how many are included, and how extra decking is documented and approved before installation.

Call about roof decking and mention any sagging, soft spots or attic stains.
