RTR Properties | Roofing Services in Baltimore, OH 43105

In our climate, trapped attic moisture from poor ventilation or leaks can saturate insulation, drastically reducing its R-value and leading to higher energy bills. It also promotes mold and wood rot. We identify the source of the moisture—often a ventilation issue or compromised underlayment—and repair it before replacing the damaged insulation to restore your home's efficiency and safety.

Signs include sagging roof lines, soft spots you can feel from the attic, water stains on interior ceilings, or a musty smell. Roof decking rot is critical because it compromises the structural integrity that supports your entire roofing system. In Baltimore, we often find it under old or damaged shingles. We remove the affected decking, treat any surrounding areas, and install new, sturdy plywood to ensure a solid base for your new roof.

It depends on the extent. During our inspection, we assess how widespread the rot is. If it's isolated to a small section, we can perform a targeted repair by replacing just the bad decking and re-roofing that area. However, if the rot is extensive or the shingles are near the end of their lifespan, a full roof replacement is often the more cost-effective and secure long-term solution for your Baltimore home.
