Architectural asphalt shingles over 1/2 inch CDX plywood decking have endured thousands of Iowa's freeze-thaw and UV exposure cycles. This material fatigue often manifests as brittle, curling shingles and compromised nail seals, which can lead to decking rot from moisture intrusion. A proactive replacement now prevents structural damage to the underlying wood.
