When it comes to protecting your home, the roof is your first line of defense against the elements. At CW Roofing, we specialize in comprehensive roof replacement services, ensuring that your home is safeguarded with a durable, high-quality roof. With over 20 years of experience, we are committed to providing top-notch service and using only the best materials to meet your roofing needs.
A sturdy roof begins with a solid foundation, and this foundation is the roof decking, also known as sheathing. The roof deck is the layer of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) that sits atop your home’s structural supports and provides the surface onto which shingles and other roofing materials are applied.
Roof decking can become damaged due to several factors, including:
Water Damage: Leaks from damaged shingles or poor ventilation can lead to water seeping into the roof deck, causing rot and weakening the structure.
Age and Wear: Over time, the roof deck may deteriorate due to age and exposure to the elements, reducing its ability to support the roofing materials effectively.
Pests: Termites and other pests can cause significant damage to the wood, compromising the deck’s integrity.
Improper Installation: If the roof decking was not installed correctly initially, it might not provide adequate support, leading to issues down the line.
A strong roof deck is essential for several reasons:
Structural Support: The deck provides the necessary support for shingles and other roofing materials, ensuring they are securely fastened and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
Protection Against Leaks: A solid roof deck helps prevent water from penetrating the roofing system, reducing the risk of leaks and water damage.
Longevity of the Roof: A well-maintained roof deck can extend the life of your roof by providing a stable foundation for shingles and enhancing the overall performance of the roofing system.
Our comprehensive roof replacement process ensures your new roof is installed to the highest standards:
We begin by carefully inspecting the current roof to assess its condition and then proceed with removing the existing shingles and underlayment. This step prepares the surface for a thorough evaluation of the roof deck.
Once the old shingles and underlayment are removed, our team conducts a detailed inspection of the roof decking. This allows us to carefully examine the wood foundation of your roof system. Any damages are documented and included in a detailed estimate. We present this estimate to you before moving forward with any repairs.
With your approval, we address any issues identified in the decking inspection. We repair or replace damaged sections of the roof decking to ensure a stable and secure foundation for the new shingles. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity and strength of your new roof.
We then proceed with the installation of new underlayment, shingles, and other necessary roofing materials. Each shingle is carefully aligned and securely fastened to provide optimal protection and enhance the appearance of your roof.
Finally, we perform a thorough inspection to ensure that the new roof meets our high standards. Our team also conducts a comprehensive cleanup of the work area, leaving your property clean and free of debris.
The duration of a roof replacement depends on the size and complexity of the project, but most installations are completed within a few days.
Common signs include missing or damaged shingles, leaks, sagging rooflines, and excessive granule loss. An inspection can help determine if replacement is necessary.
While it is possible to replace a roof in the winter, certain conditions, such as snow and ice, can make the process more challenging. We will assess the weather and advise you on the best timing.
