Clements Roofing | Roofing Services in Macon, MO 63552

We start with a thorough inspection to assess the full extent of the rot. Our process involves carefully removing the damaged shingles and underlayment to expose the decking. All compromised wood is cut out and replaced with new, structurally sound decking that meets local building codes. Finally, we install a fresh underlayment and new shingles, ensuring a watertight seal to prevent the issue from recurring. Properly addressing decking rot is crucial for protecting your home's entire structure.

Underlayment is your roof's secondary water barrier. In our climate, wind-driven rain, ice dams, and temperature swings can compromise it, leading to leaks and decking rot. We repair underlayment damage by removing the affected shingles, stripping away the old, torn, or brittle underlayment, and installing a new, high-quality synthetic or felt barrier. This critical step restores your roof's primary defense and is essential for preventing more extensive and costly interior damage.

Key local warning signs include sagging or uneven roof planes, spongy spots you can feel when walking on the roof (a sign of soft decking), water stains on interior ceilings or walls, and granules from shingles accumulating in gutters. If you notice any daylight visible from your attic through the roof boards, that's a clear sign of significant underlayment or decking failure. We recommend a professional inspection if you see these signs, as early detection prevents major structural repairs.
