Rotted decking undermines the whole roof. M&E Metal Roofing repairs damaged roof decking so your roof sits on a solid, dry foundation across Anniston and Calhoun County.
Over time, leaks and trapped moisture can rot the roof deck — the plywood or OSB sheathing your roofing is fastened to. Damaged decking shows up as sagging, soft spots, and fasteners that won't hold, and left alone it spreads and undermines the whole roof.
M&E Metal Roofing repairs damaged roof decking by removing the rotted sections, confirming the framing underneath is sound, and installing new sheathing that matches and fastens correctly. We most often do this during a tear-off or replacement, when the deck is exposed and the damage is visible.
We're locally owned and operated by Donny Muse and John Elders, serving Anniston and all of Calhoun County. We repair only what needs it and give you an honest, itemized estimate.
These are the deck problems we find and repair most often.
Dips or sags between rafters point to weakened, water-damaged sheathing underneath.
Past leaks rot the deck; we remove the affected sections and replace them with sound material.
Spongy areas underfoot or soft decking can't hold roofing fasteners and need to be replaced.
When nails or screws won't bite, the deck is compromised and the roofing can't stay put.
You can't see most deck damage until the old roofing comes off — which is exactly why we inspect the deck during tear-off. Finding and repairing rot at that point is far cheaper than discovering it later as leaks and sagging in a brand-new roof.
We cut out the damaged sheathing, verify the rafters and framing underneath are solid, and install new decking that's flush, properly spaced, and securely fastened. The result is a continuous, sound deck ready for underlayment and roofing.
We repair only the sections that need it. If the whole deck is failing, we'll tell you honestly and talk through new decking instead.
Every deck repair gives your roof a solid surface to be built on.
Look for sagging or dips in the roofline, soft or spongy spots, and water stains in the attic. The clearest check comes during tear-off, when the deck is fully exposed.
Yes. We replace only the damaged sections and leave the sound decking in place. We recommend new full decking only when the sheathing is failing across the roof.
Usually long-term leaks and trapped moisture — often from failed flashing, old roofing, or poor ventilation. We address the source as well as the damage.
Most often, yes — the deck is exposed during tear-off, so that's the ideal time to find and repair damage before the new roof goes on.
It depends on the cause and your policy. If the damage stems from a covered storm event, we can document it to support your claim.
