You should address it as soon as it's safe to do so. Lingering debris from our local storms can trap moisture, leading to rot, mold, and underlayment damage. Our carpenters and roofers recommend a professional inspection to check for hidden punctures or tears that compromise your roof's integrity, preventing more extensive and costly repairs later.

Absolutely. As expert carpenters, we often find that damaged underlayment signals a compromised roof deck (sheathing). We will carefully remove the affected area, replace any rotted or weakened decking with new, sturdy plywood, and install a fresh underlayment barrier. This foundational repair is crucial for a lasting roof, especially in our climate.

Our carpentry work is tailored to withstand local weather patterns. We use materials and techniques proven for our area's temperature swings and storm severity. When repairing storm damage, we don't just patch the surface; we ensure the underlying wooden structure—rafters, trusses, and decking—is solid and secure, providing a stable base for your new roofing materials.
