When having a roof replacement or roof repairs done, the condition of the wood beneath the surface must be assessed before any new roofing materials can be put on.

The wood decking provides the essential support that a roof needs to remain strong and protective under a 40 or 50-year roof.

To ensure that and provide a correct installation, roofing services must replace bad wood decking, sometimes at an additional cost to the homeowner.

When Must Roof Repairs Include Replacing Wood Decking?

When roofers find damaged wood beneath the shingles on a home undergoing roof repairs or replacement, they must remove that wood and replace it with new decking.

A new roof replacement or even repairs made on top of rotted decking is not durable and puts the entire roofing installation at risk of future damage.

A soft, rotting deck damaged by hidden leaks offers no support for new roofing materials, increasing the chance of wind damage and worsening leaks.

Roofing services find that the only safe option in these cases is to remove all damaged decking and replace it to ensure a correct and strong roofing repair or installation.

How Much Will Wood Replacement Add To Roof Costs?

Though it is necessary to remove all affected wood decking as part of the roof repair or replacement process, roofers do their best to remove only what is damaged to keep costs down.

It is generally assumed that every roof replacement will require at least some deck replacement, so a certain amount of new decking is typically included in the overall roofing cost.

In circumstances where roofing services find extensive damage to the decking and more wood is required to repair it, additional charges for wood and extra labor hours are added to the initial roofing estimate.

Learn About Replacing Bad Decking When It Is Needed

In this short video, Frank from Alamo Roofing explains the importance of strong decking and how wood replacement is handled during a roof replacement or repairs to ensure the new roof will last as long as expected.

Get A Detailed Roof Estimate From An Experienced Roofer

The decision on whether any decking wood must be replaced during roof repairs can only be made once the old roofing materials have been removed and the decking can be thoroughly inspected.

Because of this uncertainty which exists until the work actually begins, experienced roofing services will normally provide additional estimations in their repair and roof replacement quotes that address this possibility.

Homeowners receiving quotes for roof replacements or repairs should discuss the possibility of needing additional wood to repair damaged decking with their contractors ahead of time so they do not face unexpected, additional repair costs!
