Roof Tear-Off & Redecking in Kearny, NJ
Every roof replacement we do in Kearny starts with a full tear-off, because the deck beneath the shingles is the foundation of the entire system. When tear-off reveals rotted, delaminated, or under-built sheathing, redecking — replacing the damaged wood with new code-compliant sheathing — is what separates a roof that lasts 30 years from one that fails in 12.
What This Service Includes
We strip all existing roofing layers, fasteners, and underlayment down to the bare deck. Every sheet of sheathing is inspected: soft spots, delamination, water staining, and inadequate nailing are marked. Damaged sections are cut out and replaced with new OSB or plywood of the correct thickness, properly gapped and nailed to current code, before a single square of new roofing goes on.

How We Do It Right
Redecking is priced per sheet so you only pay for what is actually replaced — and we photograph every replaced section for your records. In Kearny we frequently find original 1950s-70s sheathing that has served well but is too thin or too damaged for another 30-year roof. Replacing it now, while the roof is open, costs a fraction of what a premature re-roof would cost later.
Roof Tear-Off & Redecking for Kearny Homes
In Kearny, where dense early-1900s housing stock, colonial and Victorian homes in the Manor Section, and flat-roofed row houses near the commercial corridors, we routinely uncover original sheathing that has earned retirement. Redecking during replacement is the foundation a 30-year roof demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my deck needs replacing before you tear off?
Honestly, you cannot know for certain until the old roofing comes off — which is why our estimates include a per-sheet redecking allowance with photo documentation, instead of a surprise change order.
Can you just go over bad decking with new plywood?
Overlaying new sheathing over rotted wood traps the problem rather than solving it. We remove damaged material and replace it properly.
