R & D Roofing | Roofing Services in Clinton, OH 44216

Common signs include excessive heat in your attic during summer, ice dams forming on your roof edges in winter, persistent moisture or mold in the attic, and prematurely aging shingles (like curling or buckling). If you notice any of these, it's wise to have a professional inspection, as poor ventilation often leads to the roof decking rot we frequently see in the area.

First, we safely remove the damaged shingles and underlayment to assess the full extent of the rot on the wooden decking (the roof's base layer). All compromised wood is carefully cut out and replaced with new, sturdy plywood or OSB. Crucially, we then identify and correct the underlying ventilation issue that caused the moisture buildup to prevent the problem from recurring on your Clinton home.

Our local weather, with hot, humid summers and cold winters, creates a perfect storm for attic moisture. Without proper intake and exhaust ventilation, trapped heat and humidity bake your shingles in summer and contribute to ice dams in winter. This constant moisture attack is the primary cause of the roof decking rot we repair. Good ventilation extends your roof's life and improves your home's energy efficiency.
