Roof Decking Replacement in Fountain Hills, Arizona

The roof decking is the foundation of the roof. It is the plywood layer that the shingles attach to, and it takes the weight and the water. Roof decking replacement in Fountain Hills means fixing the structural damage before the roof fails.

Signs Your Fountain Hills Decking Is Damaged

• Sagging roof areas — the decking has weakened
• Dark stains on the decking — the water has soaked the wood
• Soft spots under the shingles — the decking has rotted
• Leaks that return after the repair — the decking is the source
• Mold or mildew in the attic — the moisture is trapped in the wood

Why Fountain Hills Decking Fails

The water damage is the main cause. The monsoon rain finds the gaps in the roof and the water soaks into the decking. The repeated wetting and drying rots the wood and the decking loses the strength.

The thermal cycling is the second cause. The desert heat expands and the nights contract. The movement stresses the fasteners and the decking. The old decking loosens and the roof moves.

Preventing Decking Damage in Fountain Hills
