Decking Replacement & Repair

The Foundation of a Secure Roof

Professional Excellence in Decking Replacement & Repair

The quality of your roof is only as good as the decking it's fastened to. We never cut corners by leaving compromised wood beneath your new shingles.

Roof decking, usually comprised of OSB or plywood, is the unsung hero of your home's protection. If the decking is rotted, 'spongy,' or improperly fastened, your roofing system will fail prematurely regardless of how expensive your shingles are. At Eddy Exteriors, we take decking serious. During our teardown process, we perform a 'Full Deck Sweep,' clearing away all old nails and debris to get a clear view of the substrate. If we find signs of wood rot, moisture saturation, or structural delamination, we address it immediately. In many older homes across Fowlerville and Williamston, we encounter 1x6 plank decking. While this was common decades ago, modern shingles require a solid sheet-wood substrate for a proper warrantable seal. We specialize in plank-to-sheet conversions, ensuring your new roof is attached to a flat, solid, and structurally sound surface. We use high-quality CDX plywood or OSB that meets all local Livingston County building codes. By ensuring your decking is clean and dry, we prevent the 'cupping' of shingles and ensure that the thermal seal holds for the entire life of the roof system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why would I need to replace my decking?

Moisture can cause boards to rot or delaminate, meaning they can no longer hold the nails for your shingles securely.

Q. How do you know if the wood is bad?

We inspect for soft spots, discoloration, and structural sag once the old shingles are removed.
