Replacing Roof Decking

High-quality roofing starts with an effective and durable base. If you notice extensive water damage, we know how and when to replace roof sheathing.

Roof Replacements

Knowing when to replace roof sheathing can be the difference between a roof replacement and a complete disaster. Rotted roof decking can lead to extensive water damage or even a total roof collapse. Since 1917, Durable Roofing Company has provided Chicagoland with replacement roof decking and high-quality repairs.

What Is Roof Sheathing?

One of the most critical roofing services Durable Roofing provides is decking replacements. Roof sheathing, or decking as it’s also known, is a layer of boards acting as the foundation of your roof system. It connects the roof to your commercial building or multifamily unit.

Decking is one of the most important parts of a system. It’s the last layer of protection for your building and supports the weight of your roof covering. Durable has the sheathing experience and knowledge that only 100+ years of service can bring to such an important project.

Installing decking requires attention to detail and precision. Durable Roofing knows and follows all roof sheathing code requirements and emphasizes safety at every job site. When we replace roof decking, you also get a five-year workmanship guarantee. Durable only uses the highest quality materials backed with reliable manufacturer’s warranties.

“I am 100% satisfied with the work done on my roof. Durable Roofing Company is professional and I would recommend them to anyone with roofing issues.”

When To Replace Roof Sheathing

Roof leaks lead to water damage. Because roof sheathing is typically plywood or oriented strand board (OSB), water can lead to rotted roof decking. Damaged sheathing negatively affects the rest of the roof. It may be time to replace roof sheathing if you notice any of the following:

Roof leaks
Interior wet spots and staining
Mold and mildew, especially in the attacks
Sagging roofs or ceilings

Replacing Roof Sheathing

Durable Roofing first removes the roofing materials when replacing roof decking, exposing the type of wood decking previously installed. We then remove the damaged roof sheathing by cutting it out. Replacement decking is then installed based on building codes and optimizing the type of roofing material going on top.

After the decking is secured and resting on the rafters, a new roof wrap is applied. Durable Roofing then installs the new asphalt shingles, concrete tiles, metal roofing, or any other material you choose.
