Full Roof Replacement With Rotten Decking and Structural Repairs

This one had layers - literally. When we pulled back the old shingles during tear-off, we found multiple layers of material that had been stacked up over the years instead of being properly replaced. That alone was a red flag. But it got more involved from there.

Once we got down to the deck, the damage was hard to miss. Rotten plywood, deteriorated fascia, and some minor structural issues that needed to be addressed before anything new could go on. This is exactly why a full tear-off matters so much. Slapping new shingles over old, damaged material just buries the problem - it doesn't fix it. A proper roof replacement means getting all the way down to the bones and making sure everything underneath is solid.

We replaced the compromised decking and fascia, handled the structural repairs, and then laid down ProArmor underlayment across the full deck before the new asphalt shingles went on. That underlayment layer is a critical part of the system - it adds a secondary moisture barrier between the deck and the shingles, which matters a lot for long-term performance. From there, the new shingles went on clean and tight.

The finished roof sits over a home that now has a solid foundation to work from. No hidden rot, no buried layers, no shortcuts. What looked like a straightforward roof replacement turned into a more involved job - but that's what it took to do it right. The homeowner didn't just get new shingles. They got a roof that was actually built to last.
