The deck is the foundation your entire roof is built on. Simmons Roofing installs solid, code-ready roof decking across Southeast Missouri — using premium materials and proven techniques built to withstand the elements.
The roof deck — also called sheathing — is the structural layer that everything else attaches to: underlayment, shingles, flashing, and more. A properly built deck is what makes a roof strong, straight, and long-lasting. Simmons Roofing installs roof decking using premium materials and innovative techniques to ensure your deck is built to withstand the elements.
Whether it's new construction, an addition, or a replacement where the old deck needs to go, we build a solid, code-ready foundation done right — the base a quality roof depends on.
As a family-owned, licensed, insured, and bonded company, we don't cut corners on the parts you can't see. Every job starts with a free, no-obligation estimate.
Here's what goes into a proper roof deck installation.
Quality sheathing chosen to hold up for the life of the roof.
A straight, strong, sound base for your entire roof.
Decking secured correctly and to code.
Built to withstand the elements and hold fasteners tight.
No matter how good your shingles are, they're only as sound as the deck beneath them. A weak, uneven, or improperly fastened deck leads to sagging, leaks, popped fasteners, and premature roof failure.
Proper decking gives the whole roof its strength and shape, holds fasteners securely, and provides the flat, sound surface a quality roof needs to perform. It's one of those invisible things that quietly determines whether a roof lasts 15 years or 30.
We get the deck right so everything built on top of it can do its job.
Every deck we install is done to code and built for the long haul.

The roof deck, or sheathing, is the structural layer of wood (typically plywood or OSB) that sits on your roof's framing. It's the surface that underlayment and shingles attach to — the foundation of the entire roofing system.
New decking is needed for new construction and additions, and during a roof replacement when the existing deck is damaged, rotted, or no longer sound. We inspect the deck during any tear-off and let you know if it needs work.
We use premium sheathing materials appropriate for your specific roof and local building code, installed at the correct thickness and spacing for a solid, long-lasting foundation.
Absolutely. A sound, properly installed deck holds fasteners securely and provides the flat, stable surface shingles need. A poor deck leads to sagging, leaks, and early failure no matter how good the roofing on top is.
Yes. If we uncover damaged or rotted decking during a tear-off, we replace it before the new roof goes on — because a new roof over a bad deck won't last.
