We never tear off more than we can chew but we typicaly show up and have it done in one day. We did a 55 sq roof on new years eve, stripped, ice and watered papered shingled cleaned up and gone. started at 7 left at 5. 7 guys tear off 3 1/2 shingling.

Unless its a baby we tear off and dry in and go home... we do usually run drip edge all edges, bitch up around the chimneys and also poop pipes with the new boots on the pipes. Haven't used felt in years, sky blue Deck Armour. So pretty. On those low pitch (below 6/12) we double the exposure of the pretty blue paper and no issues. On the steeper non walkables we put on the first four courses and brackets and planks and the next day is all roof no set up just roofing and details (flashing, ridge venting ect.).
For those who are worried the HO may claim damage from damage not done by the leaking dry in you didn't do your job, or your Salesman didn't. Questions are key... Why are you deciding to do your roof now? Are you having any leaks? Can I see the damage? It's hard to see through shingles for leak damage so the more you (HO) can help me the better we are to finding surprises. Ect ect ect

I'm still not sold on installing an underlayment that will last 50-60 years under a shingle roof that will last 20-30.
On a 50 yr/life time shingle install I could see pushing for it, but not on the average 25/30 yr shingle.

Im with you sly, for the amount of money that armor is? you can double the felt and still cost half the amount. Or even ice and water the whole roof!

Personally the rule i was taught was never tear off what you can not shingle because your asking for trouble. my 2 cents

I am asking this question as a homeowner ready to have my roof deck spray foamed (assuming I can get the bloody price at a reasonable level). All the spf contractors here (Hattiesburg, MS) recommend open cell in case there is a water leak (Icynene dealers obviously since that's all they make). From the research I've done the forums seem to be divided. One manufacturer I talked to said they recommended closed cell because you'd still eventually see the water leak anyway as it would migrate to the 1st decking joint and eventually find it's way along the rafter and down into the attic. This seems to be flawed logic to me. If the closed cell is completely sealed to the side of the rafter (after all we are statically sealing the attic area in), how would water get past it without 1st rotting out the rafter. The water issue to me is how quickly can you detect and repair.

You get what you pay for.

I recommend starting a new thread.
