When  **[removing old roof shingles](https://lusoroofing.com/roof-shingles-toronto/)**  it is important that the exposed nails are removed or that they are nailed down flush to the roof deck surface. It is essential to make all the necessary[**repairs to the existing roof deck**](https://lusoroofing.com/roof-repairs-toronto/). A warped or uneven roofing surface is difficult to work with and can make the roofing project look unprofessional.

The deck should be applied in a staggered pattern, bridged across roof rafters or roof trusses. We always replace rotten, damaged or warped wood; in addition, if too much wood needs to be repaired the last resort is to re-sheath the whole roof surface.
