Soft Decking found on Re-roof in Plymouth

When we arrived at the site, our inspection revealed soft decking and delaminating plywood, issues caused by excessive moisture buildup in the attic. Conditions like this are more than just cosmetic concerns—they can compromise the structural integrity of a roof and shorten its lifespan if left unaddressed. Our team knew we had to tackle the root of the problem to deliver a lasting solution.

We started by removing the shingles and underlayment, then damaged plywood, and we replaced it with OSB, a durable and moisture-resistant material. OSB provides a solid foundation for the new roof. Next, we turned our attention to the attic ventilation. Poor airflow allowed condensation to accumulate, so we ensured the attic had proper venting with a balanced system of soffit and ridge vents. We use Lomanco 750 slant-back vents, the best in the industry. This upgrade promotes air circulation, keeping the space dry and preventing future issues like mold, wood rot, or ice dams during Minnesota’s harsh winters.

With the decking and ventilation sorted, we installed fresh underlayments to add an extra layer of protection against water infiltration. The final touch was laying down Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Shingles in the Black Shadow color. These shingles don’t just look great—they’re built to last, featuring Scotchgard™ Protector to resist algae stains and a limited lifetime warranty for peace of mind.

What makes this project stand out is that, despite the additional work required to fix the decking and ventilation, our skilled crew completed the entire re-roofing job in just one day. We know homeowners value minimal disruption, and we’re proud to combine efficiency with excellence. The result? A beautiful, durable roof that the homeowner can rely on for years to come.
