Is $11,500 to replace damaged plywood and re-enforce rafters a fair price?

Project Details

We're getting our tile roof lifted and relayed and midway through the process the roofer is telling us the plywood is not staggered properly, has rusting nails is is buckling in a lot of places and needs to be replaced. We had multiple roofers over for the initial job and are ok with the proposed work but this looks a bit excessive.

Quote Details

Change order for roof sheathing replacement and structural reinforcement: - Demolition of existing damaged plywood in sectional areas and haul away - Install new 1/2 OSB on entire roof with 1/8-inch gaps between panel edges - Install plywood in staggered formation (50/50 stagger) for strength and stability - Secure panels to rafters with non-corrosive nails at 6-8" on center along edges and 12" on center in the field - Re-enforce rafters with 2x6 lumber as necessary using structural screws - Clean and haul away all trash and debris - All tax, labor, and materials included
