roof problems

1. Roof Deck Replacement

If the plywood decking (the structural base underneath the shingles) has become warped, soft, or rotted due to long-term moisture, it must be replaced. 

• Signs: A sagging roofline, bouncy areas when walked on, or water leaking through the ceiling.

2. Extensive Leak Repairs 

While a minor leak can be patched, a major repair is required when a roof has multiple leaks or a single, large hole that has caused widespread damage to the underlayment and structural beams.

3. Flashing Replacement

Flashing—the metal sealant around chimneys, vents, and skylights—often fails long before the roofing material does. Major repair involves replacing old, rusted, or incorrectly installed flashing to prevent water from entering joints. 

4. Ridge Vent and Ventilation Upgrades

Poor ventilation causes heat and moisture buildup, leading to rot and premature shingle failure. Major repairs include installing new ridge vents, soffit vents, or attic fans to ensure proper airflow.

5. Structural Repairs (Rafters/Trusses)

If a roof has been leaking for a long time, the underlying structural wood—including rafters and trusses—can become compromised. This requires significant repair to fix or reinforce the "skeleton" of the roof.

6. Replacing Large Sections of Shingles/Tiles

If a storm, falling branch, or extreme age has damaged a significant portion of the roof surface, a large-scale replacement of tiles or shingles is necessary to restore the protective barrier.

7. Flat Roof Membrane Repair

For flat or low-slope roofs, repairing a damaged membrane (e.g., EPDM, TPO) over a large area is a major repair. This includes fixing standing water problems (ponding), which can cause structural issues if not fixed.

8. Fascia Board Replacement

If the boards along the roof's edge (fascia) have rotted, they must be replaced to support the gutter system and prevent pests from entering the attic.

9. Chimney Rebuilding or Repair

A chimney that is cracking, leaning, or has failed flashing can lead to major leaks, requiring masonry repair or a new chimney cap
