Rotted Decking Found During a Full Roof Replacement
FULL ROOF REPLACEMENT • ROTTED DECKING FOUND • 2018
This full roof replacement in Tennessee was completed on June 18, 2018, when the business operated as a sole proprietorship – before it was formalized as GEJ Roofing LLC in 2025. This one is a good example of a problem that only shows up once the old shingles come off: decking that looks fine from the ground can be badly rotted underneath.

Why This Matters for Homeowners
You can’t always tell how bad decking damage is until the roofing material is stripped off. Rot like this usually comes from a slow leak that went unnoticed for a while – by the time it’s this far gone, patching shingles alone won’t fix the underlying problem. A full tear-off is often the only way to actually find and fix it.
The Same Standard Today
Every roof GEJ Roofing installs today is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty under normal conditions, and any decking damage found during a tear-off gets flagged and addressed before the new roof goes on. See GEJ Roofing’s full warranty details.
