I just had my roof replaced last week. The estimator initially felt that a lot of the plywood sheathing could be saved and thought that replacing all the sheathing was not necessary. We agreed that they would replace by the sheet and left the estimate open for additional plywood if it was needed. The contractor brought 30 sheets and ended up using them all. This was about half a roof worth of sheathing.
I went up on the roof this morning and did a walk around. I noticed that there are still soft spots in the sheathing in some areas. It is not extremely bad but bouncy when you put all your weight on it. Two small areas are bad.
I am wondering if this is normal to have a certain softness in a roof that is not completely new and if it was okay that they re-shingled over it. I am going to argue with them about fixing the two bad spots but do I have anything to worry about with the bouncy areas? When I called them this morning they seemed to get defensive about it and said that does not mean it is bad if it is a little soft.
I don't understand why they did not continue to replace plywood as I said I was fine with paying for it if it was necessary.
Thanks
