Structural Damage in Troy, OH
Decking, sheathing, and rafter assessment: the part most crews skip.
Soft decking, sagging planes, and rotted sheathing get found during tear-off, not after. We assess and repair the structure underneath so the new roof lands on something solid.
You cannot judge decking through a roof. That is the honest reason a tear-off matters and a layover does not: the first moment anyone can actually see the structure is when the old shingles come off.
We check it then, across the whole roof rather than the obvious spots, and photograph what we find. Bad sheathing is replaced before the new system goes down, and if something structural is beyond roofing work we will say so plainly rather than shingle over it and hand you a warranty that would not survive the first claim.
- Decking checked across the whole roof once it is exposed
- Soft or rotted sheathing replaced before anything goes back on
- Sagging planes and rafter problems identified and explained
- Findings photographed and priced before the work happens
Structural Damage, answered
How do you know if my decking is bad?
We do not, until the old roof is off. Nobody does. That is why it is assessed on every tear-off rather than quoted as a guess up front.
What happens if you find rotted sheathing?
We photograph it, show you, and price the replacement before we install over it. Decking work is the most common legitimate change to a roofing scope.
My roof looks like it is sagging. Is that serious?
It can be. A sag can mean failed sheathing, a rafter problem, or something structural that is beyond roofing work. Worth an inspection either way, and we will tell you plainly if it needs a different trade.
