Soft Spots on Evanston Roof? Could Be Rotten Wood Under Shingles

Are you noticing soft or sagging areas on your Evanston shingle roof? Do you have leaks that seem persistent, even after minor repairs? These could be signs of a serious underlying issue: rotten substrate beneath your shingles. When the wood decking of your roof becomes compromised by moisture, it can weaken the entire structure, leading to further damage and costly repairs if left unaddressed.

At Anchor Point Roofing, we understand the importance of a solid foundation for your roof. If you suspect rotten substrate on your Evanston home, our experienced team will conduct a thorough inspection of the affected area. Our repair process includes:

Carefully removing the shingles from the soft or damaged section of your roof.

Inspecting the underlying wood to determine the full extent of the rot.

Removing all the rotten substrate and ensuring the surrounding wood is sound.

Installing new, sturdy 1/2" plywood to replace the damaged decking, providing a solid base for your shingles.

Installing new Ice and Water Shield over the new plywood. This crucial underlayment provides an extra layer of waterproof protection, preventing future moisture damage.
