Signs of roof deck rot, a common issue here due to humidity, include sagging roof lines, spongy feeling underfoot, or interior water stains on ceilings. Wind-damaged shingles typically show as curling, cracking, or missing pieces. We recommend a professional inspection, as deck rot is a structural issue requiring decking replacement, while damaged shingles often need localized repair. Our team can accurately diagnose the problem specific to your home.

For our local climate, we recommend impact-resistant architectural shingles with a high wind rating, proper sealing, and reinforced installation techniques. These materials better withstand the strong gusts we can experience. A properly installed, high-quality underlayment is also crucial to prevent moisture intrusion that leads to deck rot. We can advise on the best material and system for your home's specific exposure and style.

Safely from the ground, look for missing, lifted, or cracked shingles, especially on ridges and edges. Check gutters for a sudden increase in granule loss from asphalt shingles, which indicates wear. Inside, inspect your attic for daylight coming through the roof boards or any new water stains. If you suspect damage, contact us promptly for a free inspection. Addressing wind damage quickly prevents minor issues from escalating into major leaks or structural problems like deck rot.
