A soft spot underfoot or a dip in the roofline usually means the decking is failing. Dee's Roofing cuts out the damage, replaces it with solid sheathing, and restores your roof.
Roof deck damage is often hidden until it isn't. A slow leak around a chimney, a pipe boot that cracked years ago, or an attic that traps moisture can quietly rot the sheathing beneath otherwise normal-looking shingles. Eventually it shows up as a soft spot, a sag, or a ceiling stain that keeps coming back. Dee's Roofing provides targeted roof deck repair to fix the problem area without replacing the whole roof when that's not necessary.
We open the roof in the affected area, cut back to sound wood, check the rafters or trusses underneath, and install new sheathing. Then we rebuild the underlayment, flashing and roofing so the repair blends in and sheds water properly.
Just as important, we find out why the deck failed in the first place — whether that's a flashing problem, a bad pipe boot or poor ventilation — so the damage doesn't return. Dee's is family-owned, licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Watch for these signs that the decking under your roof may be failing.
Dips between rafters or along the ridge often mean weak or rotted sheathing.
A spongy feel underfoot is a sure sign the decking has lost its strength.
Light showing through the decking means holes or rot that need attention.
Ceiling stains that return after a repair can point to damaged wood above.
Rotted decking can't hold roofing nails, so shingles above it are more likely to blow off in the next storm. The rot can also spread to rafters and trusses, turning a modest repair into a structural one.
Soft spots are a safety concern too, for anyone who needs to walk on the roof. Repairing the deck promptly keeps the damage contained and the cost reasonable.
Darrell will show you what we find and give you an honest opinion on whether a section repair will do or whether the roof is ready to be replaced.
Every roof deck repair includes these steps.
Yes. If the damage is limited to one area, we can replace that section of decking and restore the roofing above it without replacing the entire roof.
Long-term moisture from leaks or poor ventilation, decking that's too thin for the rafter spacing, or extra layers of roofing can all cause sagging.
It can be. Soft decking may not support weight safely and can't hold roofing nails well. It's best to have it looked at soon.
We'll use the closest available shingle match so the repaired area blends in as well as possible.
Yes. We look for the source — flashing, pipe boots, ventilation or other leaks — and correct it so the damage doesn't come back.
