FAQs
What signs indicate that my roof deck needs replacement when I’m planning new gutters?
Common red flags include sagging roof lines, soft or spongy spots felt when walking on the roof, visible water stains or mold on attic rafters, frequent shingle blow-offs, and gutters that pull away because the fascia and sheathing have rotted. If we find any of these issues during our inspection in New Market, we’ll recommend replacing the deteriorated roof decking before installing your new gutter system so everything is structurally sound.
How does replacing the roof deck affect gutter installation?
A solid, level deck allows us to fasten drip edges and gutter hangers securely, ensuring proper water flow and long-term performance. If the decking is warped or rotten, gutters can slope incorrectly, overflow, or detach. By installing new decking first, we create a smooth, stable nailing surface, protect the fascia from moisture intrusion, and give your new gutters the best chance to perform efficiently for decades.
What materials do you use for roof decking in New Market’s climate?
We primarily install 7⁄16-in. or 5⁄8-in. exterior-grade OSB or CDX plywood treated for moisture resistance, depending on load requirements. For homes with ventilation or high-humidity concerns, we can upgrade to Huber ZIP System® sheathing or AdvanTech® panels that integrate a water-resistive barrier. All panels are fastened with ring-shank nails per the 2018 IRC and Frederick County code to withstand New Market’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, thunderstorms, and occasional snow loads.
Can my gutters be replaced without changing the roof deck?
Yes—if the decking, fascia, and rafter tails are structurally sound. During your free inspection we probe the decking from the attic and use moisture meters. If readings are below 15% and there’s no delamination, you can save money by keeping your existing deck. However, if more than 10% of the deck is damaged, local building code requires us to re-sheet, and attempting to reuse compromised decking will void most gutter and shingle warranties.
How long does a combined roof deck and gutter replacement job take in New Market?
A typical single-family home (2,000–2,400 sq ft of roof area with 150 linear feet of gutters) takes 2–3 days. Day 1: Tear-off existing shingles, inspect and replace decking, install underlayment and drip edge. Day 2: Install shingles, flashings, and new aluminum or copper gutters with downspouts. An extra half-day may be needed for steep-slope roofs, hidden-hanger leaf guards, or structural repairs discovered after tear-off.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans for new roof decks and gutters?
Absolutely. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on all decking, flashing, and gutter fastening, plus pass-through manufacturer warranties—30 years for architectural shingles, 20 years for aluminum K-style gutters, and 50 years on copper. Our annual maintenance plan includes spring and fall gutter cleanings, roof inspections, sealant touch-ups, and priority storm-damage service, helping New Market homeowners keep their investment protected year-round.
