Why Roof Decking Costs Change

In this AskARoofer™ Minisode, Megan Ellsworth sits down with John Kenney to answer a homeowner’s question about unexpected plywood costs during an asphalt shingle roof replacement. After the original roof was torn off, the contractor found spaced wood planks instead of solid decking, leading to a significant change in the project estimate. John explains why some decking conditions cannot be fully confirmed until tear-off, why solid sheathing may be required for modern shingle systems and what homeowners should ask when additional decking work is added to the scope.

Listen to the minisode.
