Common signs include sagging rooflines, water stains on interior ceilings, a spongy feel when walking on the roof, and visible dark spots or mold on roof sheathing from the attic. In Graham's damp climate, rot can spread quickly, compromising the structural integrity of your roof. Addressing it promptly prevents more extensive and costly repairs to the decking and your home's interior.

The ridge cap is the highest point of your roof and takes the brunt of our area's wind and weather, making it prone to lifting, cracking, or leaking. A proper repair involves carefully removing the damaged cap, inspecting the underlying ridge board, and installing a new, properly sealed ridge cap with high-wind rated fasteners. This ensures a watertight seal and protects the critical peak of your roof from Graham's elements.

It depends on the extent of the damage. A localized repair is often sufficient if the rot is caught early and isolated. However, widespread deck rot typically indicates an aging roof system and underlying moisture issues, making a full replacement the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution. We provide a detailed, honest assessment to help you make the best decision for your home's protection and value.
