Can damaged roof decking be found only after tear-off begins?
Yes. Removing the existing roof system exposes the deck and can reveal deteriorated areas that were not fully visible from the attic or roof surface.
Documented Orlando reroof
This completed Orlando project follows the roof from tear-off findings through localized deck replacement, underlayment and transition details, and finished architectural shingles.
Project overview
The existing roof covering was removed so the substrate could be evaluated. Mako's project photographs document deteriorated areas, localized deck replacement, dry-in work, roof-to-wall details, and the completed shingle roof.
The homeowner's name, exact street address, permit number, and report labels are excluded from this public case study.
Field documentation






How the work progressed
Removing the old roof made concealed deterioration visible and separated sound deck areas from sections requiring attention.
Selected deck sections were opened and replaced before the new water-shedding layers covered the work.
Underlayment covered the field while roof-to-wall and other transition areas received focused preparation.
Final photographs document the roof planes, valleys, ridge lines, and finished appearance.
Homeowner questions
Yes. Removing the existing roof system exposes the deck and can reveal deteriorated areas that were not fully visible from the attic or roof surface.
No. Sound decking can remain in place while localized deteriorated sections are replaced when field conditions and applicable requirements allow.
Dry-in is the stage where the roof deck is covered with the specified underlayment and critical transitions are prepared before the finished roof covering is installed.
