Sagging Roof & Structural Repair
Sagging Roof & Structural Repair
A roof that dips, bows, or feels soft underfoot is usually telling you something about what is happening below the surface, not just at the shingle line. Sagging typically points to weakened decking, compromised rafters, or trapped moisture that has been working on the structure for a while. Addressing it starts with finding out how far the damage actually extends before any new material goes down.
Finding What Is Really Going On
- Moisture Meters & Wood Moisture Meters — direct readings that separate a wet deck or framing member from an old stain, so we know what is sound and what has to come out.
- Core Sampling Tools — test cuts that show how many layers are up there and how much wet insulation or decking is involved.
- Laser Distance Meters, Levels & Chalk Lines / Framing Squares & Layout Tools — accurate layout and pitch checks that locate low spots and guide rafter and decking repairs.
Repair Work, Done Carefully
- Cordless Impact Drivers & Framing Nailers — consistent, secure fastening for structural framing and decking replacement.
- Pry Bars & Nail Pullers / Reciprocating Saws — old fasteners and damaged wood removed cleanly so new material sits flat and true.
- Roof Jacks, Toe Boards & Planks / Scaffolding — stable footing and access over a compromised deck while repairs are underway.
Every stage is logged with time- and location-stamped photos, so you can see the same documentation we do.
