Today’s Project: Replacing Rotted Decking Before Installing a New Roof

🛠️ Today’s Project: Replacing Rotted Decking Before Installing a New Roof located in Huntsville, AL.

Before any new roof goes on, it’s critical to check the roof decking (the wooden base under your shingles). On today’s project, we discovered several sections of rotted decking that had to be replaced to ensure the roof has a strong, solid foundation.

🔎 Why does decking rot?

Long-term leaks

Poor attic ventilation trapping moisture

Old, worn shingles that no longer protect

Clogged gutters holding water

⚠️ What happens if you don’t replace it?

Leaving rotted decking in place can cause your new shingles to fail, weaken the structure of your roof, and lead to leaks and costly interior damage.

✅ How homeowners can help prevent it:

Keep gutters clean

Ensure good attic ventilation

Fix leaks right away

Schedule routine roof inspections
