What happens here

After all shingles are removed and the roof sheathing is exposed, conduct a thorough inspection for any damaged sections. Look for rot, water stains, soft spots, or cracks in the plywood or planking. Mark the perimeter of the damaged areas with a pencil. Using a circular saw set to the appropriate depth (just enough to cut through the sheathing without damaging underlying trusses), carefully cut along the marked lines. Ensure safety precautions are followed, such as wearing eye protection and maintaining a stable footing.

Goal: Carefully inspect the exposed roof decking (sheathing) for signs of rot, cracks, or damage, marking these areas for removal using a pencil and then cutting them out with a circular saw.
