At RocStout, we believe in doing things right, even when it means facing unexpected challenges. Recently, our team encountered a striking example of why a thorough roof inspection and restoration process is so crucial. We were tasked with replacing a roof, and what we found beneath the surface was a testament to the importance of meticulous work.
Upon stripping the roof down to the deck, we discovered an astonishing five layers of existing underlayment. This wasn’t an isolated incident; remarkably, it was the third roof this month where we’d encountered such an excessive buildup. This discovery highlighted a common problem: shortcuts taken in the past that ultimately compromise the integrity and longevity of a roof.
Multiple layers of underlayment can trap moisture, leading to rot and decay. In this case, we found areas of rotten decking that needed immediate attention. Thankfully, because we take the time to strip roofs down to the deck, we were able to identify and repair these issues before they caused further damage.
This project underscores several key principles that guide RocStout’s work:
- No Cutting Corners: We believe in doing the job right the first time. Stripping the roof down to the deck is a crucial step in ensuring a solid foundation for your new roof.
- Protecting Your Investment: Your home is a significant investment, and we’re committed to protecting it. By addressing underlying issues like rotten decking and excessive underlayment, we ensure your roof provides lasting protection.
- Integrity in Service: We don’t believe in swindling insurance companies or taking shortcuts that compromise quality. We provide honest, reliable service with integrity.
- Thoroughness: Finding and fixing rotten decking, and the discovery of the multiple layers of underlayment, shows that we do a very thorough job.
The fact that we’ve encountered this issue multiple times this month reinforces the importance of choosing a roofing company that prioritizes quality and thoroughness. At RocStout, we’re committed to uncovering the truth beneath the surface and providing roofing solutions that stand the test of time.
