Before laying new roofing, focus on the deck and flashings. Start by removing old shingles and inspecting the sheathing for rot or damage. Secure any loose sections and ensure the deck is clean and dry. For flashings, key steps include installing new step and counter flashings at walls, and carefully sealing around vents and chimneys with proper base flashings. This prevents leaks by directing water away from joints. Reliable flashing and a solid deck are the groundwork for a roof that lasts.
