You can't nail a good roof to bad wood.
Every fastener in your roof holds because of the wood it bites into. When decking and framing rot, the strongest shingle or tile on the market is riding on borrowed time.
Roof carpentry is the structural half of roofing that never shows up in the brochure: the plywood or plank decking your roof is nailed to, the fascia boards your gutters hang from, the soffits that ventilate your attic, and the rafters and trusses carrying it all. In South Florida's humidity, any slow leak — even one too small to stain a ceiling — feeds rot in that wood year after year. We find it when we open roofs up, and we fix it properly: cut back to sound wood, sister or replace framing members, and re-nail new decking to the code schedule.
This matters most during a re-roof. Florida code requires re-nailing the deck to current standards when a roof is replaced, and rotten sections have to come out — a roofer who quotes suspiciously low is often planning to roof over bad wood and let it be your problem in five years. Our estimates spell out a per-sheet decking price up front, so when we open the roof there are no surprise change-order games: you know exactly what each replaced sheet costs before we start.
We also handle standalone carpentry: fascia and soffit replacement (usually behind failed gutters), sagging ridge and rafter repairs, and storm-damaged framing with engineering documentation where required. Wood repairs pair naturally with the leak repair that exposed them — and if the damage is widespread, we'll tell you honestly when replacement beats patching.

From inside the attic: dark staining, soft spots, or daylight at penetrations. From outside: a wavy or sagging roof plane. Often it's invisible until the roof is opened — which is why we quote decking per sheet before we start.
It's priced per sheet of plywood, quoted in writing before the job begins. Most re-roofs need a handful of sheets; a roof with a long-ignored leak can need more. You approve the count as we go.
Yes — fascia and soffit repair is common standalone work, especially where old gutters trapped water against the wood. We match profiles and prime or wrap the new wood.
The re-nailing required by code is included. Replacing rotten wood is itemized separately per sheet or linear foot — spelled out in the estimate, so the number is honest instead of artificially low.
