​

Roofers often replace rotten plywood or any part of the roof deck as part of their roofing services. Rotten or damaged plywood can compromise the structural integrity of the roof and reduce its ability to support the roofing materials.

 

When replacing a roof, roofers typically inspect the underlying plywood decking for any signs of rot, water damage, or other issues.

​

If they find rotten plywood, they will remove and replace it before installing the new roofing materials. This ensures a solid and stable foundation for the roof and helps prevent future problems. It's crucial to address any underlying issues with the plywood to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the new roof installation. Keep in mind that the specific practices may vary among roofing contractors, so it's advisable to discuss this aspect with your chosen roofing professional before starting the project.
