Signs of underlayment damage often include interior water stains, mold in the attic, or granules from shingles collecting in gutters. It's common here due to our temperature swings and occasional severe storms, which can compromise the underlayment's seal over time. A professional inspection from our team can assess the extent of the damage hidden beneath the shingles.

Roof decking rot in Hutchinson typically stems from prolonged moisture exposure due to damaged underlayment, ice dams, or inadequate ventilation. We start by removing the affected shingles and underlayment to fully expose the rotten decking. The damaged wood is replaced with new, treated plywood or OSB, and we ensure proper ventilation is installed to prevent recurrence before re-roofing.

For our local climate, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles with a high wind rating and proper attic ventilation systems. These materials better withstand hail and high winds common to the region. We can also discuss reinforced underlayment options during your replacement to add an extra layer of protection against future moisture damage to the decking.
