Common signs include sagging roof lines, dark stains or streaks on your interior ceilings, a musty smell in your attic, and spongy areas you can feel from inside. Since decking rot is often caused by trapped moisture from small, hidden leaks, we recommend a professional inspection if you notice any granule loss or have an older roof, as these issues are frequently connected in our local climate.

Finding shingle granules in your gutters is a key sign of wear, especially common after our area's hailstorms and seasonal temperature swings. While some granule loss is normal over time, excessive loss exposes the asphalt mat to UV rays, causing the shingles to crack and age prematurely. We can assess the extent of the loss to determine if a repair or a proactive replacement is needed to prevent water damage and decking issues.

It depends on the extent of the damage. We often perform targeted repairs for localized rot, carefully removing damaged decking sections and seamlessly integrating new, treated plywood. Our priority is to stop moisture intrusion and preserve the healthy structure of your roof. However, if the rot is widespread or the roofing system is near the end of its lifespan, a full replacement may be the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution for your home.
