Start with conditions, not a product
Discoloration on decking or rafters is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Before touching anything, the actual cause — a roof leak, poor ventilation, or built-up condensation — needs to be pinned down first.

- Existing conditions and likely cause
- Preparation and protection
- Materials, compatibility, and installation details
- Permits, testing, cleanup, and restoration
- Exclusions, warranty terms, and change-order process
Lakeland context
Attics in Lakeland's older bungalow stock often have less ventilation than current code calls for, and mature oak canopy over many older lots keeps roofs shaded and slower to dry after rain. Newer subdivisions further out tend to have better attic ventilation but less shade, trading one problem for another.
