Your roof is one of the most important structures on a home, protecting your loved ones and belongings from environmental elements day-in, day out. Over time, this takes a toll on the roof, causing damage, leaks, and mold that can compromise the integrity of the entire home. Every year people choose to replace their roof when they could have simply had it cleaned, saving thousands of dollars in costs. . When you fail to keep the roof clean, algae and mildew can grow. These fungi cause the roof to absorb heat, which can make it difficult to cool your home during warmer weather and the summer season. Having the roof cleaned professionally can help your air conditioning units work more efficiently and create a cooler environment at less cost. . A shoddy or neglected roof is very appealing to pests and wildlife. The debris and rotting wood around the roof invites bugs, rodents, and pests to your property. Nests and hives can cause further complication, potentially opening the door to an infestation, literally. Avoid the hassle and prevent headaches by maintaining your roof, gutters, and eaves- which will keep unwanted visitors away. . We have many more reasons for you to clean your roof. Want to know more?

This house in Seattle is a great example of shiplap boards that were badly repaired. There were a lot of leaks, rotten wood all over the roof and also some rotten beams that needed to be replaced.

Shiplap boards used to be popular, but now there are better options available. We can’t install new shingles on top of this old system because over time, shiplap fir wood resin dissipates, causing the boards to shrink, crack, form knot holes, and become extremely brittle. Best option is to install a new plywood for a nice and smooth deck.

Then you might be asking yourself : Why do I need to re-sheet my shiplap roof deck?
Well, because it wouldn’t make sense to install a 50 years lifetime shingles on top of it to have them leaking in 5 – 10 years. It is important to build a good base for the new shingles, otherwise you’ll just have a bad roof with a modern look.
If you want to avoid the headache of tearing up your new roof searching for a mysterious leak that “should not be happening”, it is in your best interest to apply solid sheathing over the existing shiplap for your roofing system to securely fasten to. The recommended materials are exterior grade 7/16″ OSB (oriented strand board), 3/8″ OSB, or 1/2″ CDX true plywood.

Here are some pictures of a beautiful new roof we have installed.
