Is $8,000 to redeck the entire roof with OSB a fair price?
Project Details
I was told I needed to redeck the entire roof in OSB, which would add $8,000 to the reroofing price. I'm concerned this is an unnecessary upgrade, as I believe replacing individual boards as needed would suffice. My house has 80-year-old planks, and we haven't experienced water issues despite living in a rain-heavy area. I'm wondering if the roofer is trying to take advantage of me.
