Estimating & Workflow
Roof decking
The structural surface the roof covering is attached to, usually plywood or oriented strand board. It sits above the rafters and below the underlayment and shingles. When decking is soaked or delaminated it is often replaced in sections, and that work is a separate line item from the shingle repair.
