I had a chance to address this at a UCC meeting in Daytona awhile back.  I answered with another question.  If someone has the ability to replace one sheet of sheathing do they now become stupid and don't know how to change more?  My opinion on this is as long is there is no truss involvement in the replacement then the number of sheets would be what ever it takes to complete a satisfactory job to code.  And you will probably receive as many answers as I did and then it never was decided on.  So it will be up to the local jusistiction on how bad they want to mess with the roofing contractor.  What ever happened to good common sense? IMHO.  good luck on this one.

Subject: [Florida Code Talk] Roof Sheathing Replacement for Re-roofing



Good Evening.  
 
I have a question that I have asked my local Building Department and have got several answers.  I have been 
told that we can change between 2 to 4 sheets of Plywood/OSB when re-roofing.  I have asked several 
Roofing Contractors the same question and it varies for 6 sheets to no limit.  I was given a copy of: 
FRSA Governent Insider.  2008 Legislative Session Over. Roofing Contractor License Scope to include 
Deck Attachment & Wood Sheathing Replacement.  HB 697 by Gary Aubuchon (R-Cape Coral) relating to 
the Florida Building Code.
 
My question is:  How many sheets of Plywood/OBS (4'x8') can be replaced during re-roofing a building
by a State Certified Roofing Contractor (CCC license)?  Does a CCC license have the same scope as a State 
Cerified: Residental (CRC), Building (CBC), or General (CGC) Contractor has when re-roofing a building?
 
Thank you for your input.
