What can roofers discover after old shingles are removed?
Tear-off exposes the roof deck so damaged or deteriorated sections can be identified, documented, and addressed before the new roof system is installed.
Project overview
Real project evidence, not stock roofing content
Mako documented this roof replacement during the work and after completion. The record includes tear-off, exposed-deck photographs, localized decking replacement, roof-transition details, completed shingle fields, vents, skylight details, and ridge lines.
The public case study intentionally omits the homeowner's name and exact street address. The project location is shown only at the Southwest Orlando level.
What the photographs show
From exposed decking to a completed shingle system
Roof replacement process
Why documentation during tear-off matters
1. Expose the roof deck
Removing the old roof makes the substrate visible. That is when deteriorated or damaged decking can be separated from sound material.
2. Document localized deck work
Photographs preserve what was found and where new decking was installed before underlayment concealed the repair.
3. Complete the water-shedding system
Underlayment, edge details, penetrations, ventilation, shingles, and ridge areas work together. The finished roof is more than the visible shingle field.
4. Preserve completion evidence
Final roof-plane photographs and completion records create a practical history for the property owner.
