    "The removal of existing roofing materials down to the structural deck before a new roof system is installed. Stripping to the deck lets the installer inspect it for damage or rot and gives the new layers a clean surface to bond to. The International Building Code requires removal of all existing layers where the roof already has two or more applications of roof covering.",
    "The process of removing an existing roof system, including all layers of shingles, underlayment, and flashing, down to the structural deck. This procedure is performed to allow for a thorough inspection of the roof deck for damage or rot and to provide a clean, stable substrate for the installation of a new roof. It is a common practice when replacing an old or severely damaged roof."
