Re: New Asphalt roof installed 39 Square
Did that last year...except when they stripped the roof they found pretty much all the ply-wood had been installed incorrectly...Soooo that one hurt extra good.

Re: New Asphalt roof installed 39 Square
I have put a few plywood sheathing roofs on in my past,, how exactly did someone put the plywood on wrong I just gotta ask? Length wise maybe?

Re: New Asphalt roof installed 39 Square
Maybe the edges weren't on rafters, in some places? Believe it or not, I've seen guys do drywall like that, not putting the edges on studs or ceiling joists.

Re: New Asphalt roof installed 39 Square
I believe it was installed without clips.

Re: New Asphalt roof installed 39 Square
Without Clips! ..this makes me feel older all of a sudden ,,cause I sheathed roofs before clips ..back when they advise you to leave a small small gap between sheets . I wonder ?? did the roofer tell the people the roof had no clips and took up the whole sheeted roof and redid it clips ? Not bashing anyone ,,because I do not know the whole story ,, just thinking and posting with a grin on my face

Re: New Asphalt roof installed 39 Square
I've sheathed roofs without the clips, but not in over 30 years. I guess as people want to put less and less thought into their work, or hire people and don't tell them why the clips are necessary, this could happen. One would like to think that a licensed contractor would know this.

Re: New Asphalt roof installed 39 Square
I could be mistaken on what the actual issue was, maybe no clips, maybe swollen boards. Either way I fully trust the installer. My Father in-law is the VP of one of the bigger roofing outfits in the Richmond Area and has been doing roofs for over 30 years, he sent his best install crew to do our roof. I wasn't home when it was going on, just getting info that was relayed by him to my wife, then to me. We did get everything at cost and paid a cheaper labor rate than the companies up our way though.

Re: New Asphalt roof installed 39 Square
I'm curious too haha, she's been under the weather the past few days. Next time we facetime her folks with their grandbaby I'll ask. I've learned a lot in life, one of the biggest things is it's not always what you know but who you know.

Re: New Asphalt roof installed 39 Square
When I took the deal from the contractor to reroof my house , I ask him if I could have the shingles left over from broken into packages so if I could use them on a shed roof I building in my back yard , (for my l lawn mower and tools and snow blower) ,, he told me he would fix me up with some ,, he did alright as he gave me a whole square of shingles plus the underlayment and starter material plus roof edgeing ..the shed roof -is 8x10 ft
