Most homeowners only think about what a roof looks like from the street. But what's underneath matters just as much - maybe more. Before any new roofing material goes down, the deck has to be solid. That's where a roof either holds up for decades or starts failing way too soon.
On this Claremont re-roofing job, we stripped everything back to the deck first. That's the only way to actually see what you're working with. And sure enough, there were damaged sheets that needed to come out. We replaced them with fresh OSB before moving forward. No shortcuts, no covering up soft spots and hoping for the best.
We also use ProArmor underlayment as part of our roofing system. It's a quality synthetic underlayment that goes down over the deck before the final roofing layer. It adds a secondary barrier against moisture and helps the whole system perform the way it's supposed to - for a long time.
Here's the thing about prep work - it's easy to skip and hard to see once the job is done. But it's exactly what separates a roof that lasts from one that causes problems in a few years. We'd rather take the extra time upfront than have a homeowner dealing with leaks or callbacks down the road.
That's just how we approach every re-roofing job we take on in Claremont and the surrounding area. Get the foundation right, and everything else follows.
