🏠 What’s Under Your Shingles Matters Just as Much as What’s On Top.
During a roof replacement, it’s important to take the existing roofing system all the way down to the decking.
Why? Because the decking is the foundation of the entire roof system. By removing all existing shingles and underlayment, we can visually inspect the wood and make sure we have a solid, sufficient nailable substrate before installing the new roof.
Simply walking the roof and checking for soft spots isn’t always enough. Rotted, deteriorated, delaminated, or damaged decking may not feel soft under your feet — and if old felt or underlayment is left in place, those problem areas can easily stay hidden.
Once everything is removed, we can inspect the decking section by section and replace anything that doesn’t meet the standard before covering it back up.
There’s not much sense in investing in a brand-new roofing system if you’re installing it over a foundation you never fully inspected.
At Fortress Roof Systems, we want to know what we’re building on before we start building it back. 🏰🔨
Strip it. Inspect it. Repair it. Then build it back right.
