Two houses in my neighborhood are being reroofed by different contractors using
different methods. Both houses built in the early 20's, with cedar shakes over
1X sheathing. Both have 2 layers of shingles over the original shakes. Both
houses are approximately the same size, within 100 sq. ft.
1. Remove one layer of shingles, replace drip edge, reshingle.
2. Remove everything down to the sheathing. Completely cover old sheathing
(it's in good shape) with 3/4" OSB. Put down ice barrier, tar paper, drip edge,
and shingle.
Which job would you want on your house?
PS - neither house is mine, they're neighbors. Also, job #1 is $800.00 more.

Weird. I'll take door number 2, Dave, except I'd specify 1/2 inch
substrate. Over the scab boards, it'd be plenty. Ice barrier would
extend 3+ feet beyond the inside wall, and over the drip edge. I could
even live without the felt, if the weather during the work would allow.

I would go tell the guy at Job # 1 to go see the guy at Job #2. Something
is wrong or being missed or #1 has a hell salesman.

Hi,
No. 2 for sure. 3/4" OSB may be over kill. How about 1/2" since old
sheathing is good shape. Can't understanbd No. 1 costs more.
