Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this roof deck replacement calculator tool.

What is the sales advantage of pitching CDX Plywood over OSB?
In high-value bids, position CDX Plywood as the 'Moisture Resistant Standard.' It recovers better from accidental leaks and has superior nail-holding power, allowing you to charge a premium over competitors using standard OSB, while reducing your call-back risk.
How should I estimate 'Rot Factors' for insurance supplementals?
Base your estimate on a 5% baseline and supplement for any sheets beyond that during the 'Deck Inspection' phase. Photodocumenting rusted nails or delaminated OSB is the primary technical evidence needed to win $100+ per sheet from the carrier.
