Not every roof job starts with a clean deck — and this one in Lehigh Acres made that clear the moment tear-off was complete. Years of Florida heat, humidity, and storm exposure had worked their way into the decking, leaving sections soft, stained, and structurally compromised before the new system could go on. That’s the job that doesn’t show up in the finished photos but makes every other step possible.

Bad decking doesn’t get covered up here — it gets cut out and replaced. Fresh plywood went in wherever the existing boards couldn’t carry the load, underlayment followed across the full surface, and the new roofing system was installed on a foundation that will actually hold it for the next several decades. The work underneath is what makes the work on top last.
