Yes, absolutely. A thorough inspection of the roof deck is a standard part of our replacement process. As a licensed contractor with over 30 years of experience, we know that dry rot and wood damage are common issues hidden under old roofing. When we tear off the existing materials, we meticulously check the underlying wood. Any dry rot or compromised decking we find is replaced before the new roof is installed. This ensures your new roof has a solid, long-lasting foundation, which is crucial for the integrity of your home.

Our comprehensive roof inspection is designed to give San Leandro homeowners a clear picture of their roof's condition. We examine the entire roofing system, including shingles or tiles, flashing, vents, and gutters. We specifically check for common local issues like flashing corrosion and ridge tile movement, which can lead to leaks if not addressed. After the inspection, we provide a detailed, honest assessment and a straightforward explanation of any necessary repairs, their urgency, and the associated costs, with no obligation.

Not every leak requires a full replacement. Our first step is to perform a precise inspection to locate the source of the leak. Often, it's due to localized damage like failed flashing or a few compromised shingles, which we can repair effectively. However, if the inspection reveals widespread wear, significant dry rot, or that the roof is near the end of its lifespan, we will honestly recommend a repair, a partial reroof, or a full replacement. Our goal is to provide the most practical and cost-effective solution to protect your home for the long term.
