Roof Decking Replacement in Cypress, California

The decking is the wood under the shingles, and it carries the whole roof. When the water gets in through the old shingles, the plywood rots. Roof decking replacement in Cypress means replacing the weak wood before the roof sags or fails.

Signs Your Cypress Roof Decking Needs Replacement

• Sagging sections of the roof — the decking has lost its strength
• Spongy spots when you walk the roof — the plywood has softened
• Water stains on the ceiling — the leak soaked the decking
• Visible rot at the eaves and the valleys — the water pooled and soaked the wood
• Gaps between the decking panels — the plywood has warped or shrunk

Why Cypress Decking Needs Replacement

The old leaks are the main cause. The tract roofs have been through decades of winter rains, and the small leaks soaked the plywood. The decking rots from the inside out, and the damage is hidden until the roof is inspected.

The age is the second factor. The plywood decking installed in the 1960s has aged, and the moisture and the heat have weakened it.

How We Replace Roof Decking in Cypress

1. Inspect the decking — check the plywood, the rafters, and the moisture damage
2. Remove the damaged sections — cut out the rotted plywood
3. Replace the decking — new plywood or OSB, nailed to the rafters
4. Check the rafters — repair the framing damage if the rot spread
