Roof Redecking

What This Service Involves

Redecking replaces the plywood or OSB sheathing that forms the base of your roof, a step that matters greatly after years of Northwest moisture intrusion. When we tear off an old roof and find delaminated, soft, or rotted panels, redecking restores the structural surface that new roofing must fasten to. Solid decking means nails hold properly and the finished roof lies flat and watertight against wind-driven rain. Skipping this on a compromised deck would undermine even the best roofing material.

Benefits

Restores a solid nailing base for new roofing; Eliminates soft, rotted, or delaminated panels; Prevents sagging and uneven roof surfaces; Improves overall structural integrity of the roof; Ensures manufacturer warranty requirements are met

Our Process

1) Deck inspection after tear-off to identify damage; 2) Marking and documenting panels needing replacement; 3) Removal of rotted or delaminated sheathing; 4) Installation of new code-approved decking panels; 5) Verification of a flat, solid surface before roofing

What Affects the Cost

Number of sheathing panels replaced; Type and thickness of decking material; Extent of rot and moisture damage found; Accessibility and pitch of the roof; Labor for removal and disposal of old panels

Best Time of Year

Redecking happens during dry-season tear-offs so the exposed structure stays protected until new roofing is installed.
