Signs of roof deck rot in our area often include sagging roof lines, dark stains on your ceilings, or a spongy feeling when walking on the roof. Our process starts with a safe, thorough inspection to assess the damage. We then carefully remove the affected shingles and rotten decking, replace it with new, treated plywood, and re-install your roofing materials with proper ventilation to prevent future moisture buildup—a key step for Long Island's climate.

Those black streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, common here due to humidity. While gentle rain won't wash it away, we use a specialized, low-pressure cleaning solution that safely kills the algae and spores without harming your shingles' protective granules. We also can discuss installing zinc or copper strips at the roof's peak, which release ions with each rain to provide long-term prevention against regrowth.

Absolutely. They are directly connected. Roof deck rot often points to trapped moisture and inadequate attic ventilation, which causes extreme heat buildup in summer and condensation in winter. This forces your HVAC system to work much harder. Our comprehensive approach addresses the root cause: we repair structural damage, optimize attic airflow, and ensure your insulation is effective. This seals your home's envelope, reducing strain on your furnace and AC and lowering your energy bills year-round.
