Understand your roof
The wood under your roof
Ask your roofer
- What is your price per sheet of wood, in writing?
- Will you send me photos of bad wood before replacing it?
Ask them to put the answer in writing.
Why it matters
Soft or delaminated wood can’t hold nails, and new shingles over it won’t last. Bad wood is only found once the old roof comes off.
How it should be built
Tap Next on the drawing to see it go together, layer by layer. Use the buttons above it to see the other options.
- Bad sheets are cut back to the rafters and replaced before anything goes on top.
- H-clips go between rafters on new sheets.
- The price per sheet is agreed in writing ahead of time.
