The difference between a roof that looks good and a roof that’s built right is often what you CAN’T see.
I know I sound like a broken record, but your roof is important. The one we’re working on today had multiple layers of different tar paper, meaning the last replacement did not get stripped down to the wood.
We don’t believe in covering up problems. When replacing a roof, we strip everything down to the wood so we can see exactly what we’re working with.
On older homes with 1x6 plank decking, we recommend installing plywood over the existing boards. Those old boards can have large gaps, splits, and weak spots that don’t give today’s roofing nails the solid surface they need.
Plywood creates a stronger, more consistent foundation for the entire roofing system.
Anybody can put new shingles on an old roof. We want to make sure everything UNDER those shingles is built to last, too.
That’s the difference between simply replacing a roof and building a roofing system the right way.
