In roofing, plywood can be used as roof decking. Roof decking is the material that lies on top of the main roofing structure, and the underlayment and roof covering are applied on top.
In roofing, plywood is often selected due to its strength. Although the roof structure takes the majority of the weight, plywood needs to be able to support the rest of the roofing system. Plywood is often used in roofing because it performs well when exposed to moisture over long periods of time. When plywood gets wet, it swells evenly across the plywood sheet, and then when it dries out it goes back to the normal sizing.
In comparison, OSB board tends to swell along the edges and takes a lot longer to dry out, which can leave visible ridges along the edges of the boards unless it is marine grade OSB which has been manufactured for use on boats. There are two types of plywood used in roofing construction — structural and general plywood. Structural plywood has proof of strength performance provided by the supplier and indicates it has passed the building regulations to be used for structural use in a building.
General plywood does not have this proof of strength performance so should not be used for structural applications. Instead, it is used to hold concrete whilst it sets. Generally, plywood comes in 4 by 8-foot sheets, and in a variety of grades. The edges of OSB may noticeably swell when exposed to moisture. Although OSB manufacturers address this with a special edge sealant, edges cut on-site remain vulnerable to this quality of OSB.
Zip wood is an engineered product known for its strength and durability. A key to zip wood is the use of a water-resistant barrier that still breathes. This vapor permeable barrier eliminates the need for roofing felt. All five layers of Zip system insulated sheathing are very moisture resistant, making it easy to work with in places like Montgomery County known for such variable weather.
The simplified two-step installation reduces labor costs by as much as 40 percent when compared to traditional plywood sheathing and felt installations. Roofers simply install the panels and tape the seams. It also performs well when exposed to moisture over long periods of time. The price is low compared to other roofing materials and the installations are also easy. Some types of plywood are used for roofing, Construction structural, and general plywood, and CDX plywood.
Structural plywood is of two types A and B-Bond. A is more durable and stronger than B-bond. But B-Bond Structural plywood is also used for use of exterior applications. Bigger is better. The thickness of the plywood should depend on many things such as country, The expected load, How the roof is designed?
Bad weather where snow is the most falling area, The plywood was chosen for roofing should be thicker for such an area. In such a situation, you should use more thick plywood. The most common rafter spacing is 24 inches. You can get plywood sheets with a length of up to 4 x 10 feet and OSB comes up to 16 feet long in length.
Most people want to know how much square-fit plywood is needed in the roofing. Which is of no use to you and a waste of money. To calculate it, you multiply the length by the width. To calculate how many plywoods are required for your roof. Vasille the owner was very detailed about the work he would be doing, very polite and professional. During a busy end to the roofing season, he was able to fit us in his schedule and get it done incredibly quick.
Would definitely recommend!! My neighbor had hired Major Home Improvements to install a new roof. I was able to watch the professional installers complete his roof in one day doing an outstanding job. It was time for me to consider a new roof so we met with Vasalie to discuss price, type of shingle, warranty etc The quote was fair with a 3 week time line for installation. Everything came as promised, the materials arrived a day in advance and the work began on the date and time that was quoted.
Outstanding workmanship by a professional group of installers. Clean-up was meticulously done. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Major Home Improvements for any projects. Well done! Excellent job! The crew was hard working and very skilled. We have an older house that had many layers of old roofing - all was stripped to bare wood - and they kept the area very clean. The roof is a bit complicated, steep in sections with dormers and nearly flat in other areas where we had rubber roofing installed.
The fit-and-finish of the roof looks great. They also added features to the improve ventilation and the flashing. This company is easy to work with, competitively priced, and delivers on their promises. We had a wonderful experience with Major Home Improvements. They were very thorough and professional and the roof looks great. Vasily, the owner, was very nice to work with.
Vasilli and his crew were the best. He was patient and knowledgeable and just so polite. The roof was done in a day. Vasilli and his project manager, Dennis, were there and he has the best work crew ever. The mess was cleaned up as they went along and after, they went over the lawn several times with a giant magnet to make sure all the nails were picked up.
They were the friendliest bunch and they cared about the dog not getting hurt. I would recommend Vasilli to anyone who asks and hand out his business cards.
His price and quality were on point with no unexpected issues. Our roof looks awesome. Mike and Randy Cooley.
Thank you for all of your help! They explained the work to me in a way I could understand, were efficient and professional. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needed roof work done.
I am a carpenter and generally do all my own projects on my house because I do very good work and it's hard to find a contractor I can trust to do the job right, at a level that I will be happy with.
I am very satisfied with the work by Major Home Improvements. They put vinyl siding on our house and wrapped the trim with aluminum. It looks beautiful, and all of our neighbors have been stopping by and telling us how much they love it! From the estimate through completion, Vasilie was very pleasant to work with, prompt with communication and easy to get in touch with. Ilona, in the office, was also very helpful and very quick to return our calls.
The crew was really nice and did a great job, it was nice having them around. I absolutely would recommend Major Home Improvements, they do quality work, with attention to the details, at a very good price! Very good people and awesome work definitely would recommend them for roofs and any other jobs! Excellent communication from start to finish. During the initial meeting, owner Vasilie Kukharchuk provided technical details about the CertainTeed roofing system he installs and thoroughly described all costs and how the work and cleanup would be done.
His crew was professional, courteous, and for a roof job, surprisingly quiet, with little disruption. The crew worked cleanly, replacing the entire roof, skylight and gutters in one day.
Vasilie addressed my concerns about the more vulnerable sections of the roof, adding a gutter on the upstairs dormer where one did not previously exist. This worked to eliminate splash back and will also allow winter ice build-up to melt into the gutter instead of running down the siding.
The dormer downspout even matches the color of the shingles! Love the new solar skylight, whisper quiet and air tight. Not so easy to find a roofer who will do skylights. Roof looks gorgeous. I can absolutely recommend Major Home Improvements, great workmanship, competitive price, honest people. Friendly, professional, affordable, communicates well, educated me, worked to get me best deal Vasilie was on the jobsite for most of the install. Beyond happy with the work that was done, the project was done 2 weeks early and done in one afternoon!
I will surely be recommending and using you guys again in the future! Thank you Vasilie and your team for your great quality of work! Would highly recommend this company for your home improvements.
Fast and professional. We had our roof, siding, gutters and a few windows done. Vasilie and his crew were great. It is very hard to find a contractor that does what they say they will do Vasilie does. Vasili and his crew were great!
They found the leak and repaired the part of my broken roof all for a reasonable price. MHI did a great job on our roof, in cold-weather conditions. Vasilie is very responsive and keeps an open line of communication throughout the process, to quickly address any concerns you may have.
It is clear they take great pride in their work. I've my roof replaced by Major Home improvements. Right from the first call to the finish of the project, Vasillie and his boys handled the project very professionally and did an excellent job. After comparing three different quotes, I found them to be most competitive and Vasillie spend good amount of time upfront explaining the scope of work which helped a lot.
They used top of the line Oven Corning products and his team worked diligently without cutting any corners. They certainly exceeded my expectation. I called on a Wednesday they came out on Friday to give an estimate for the job and the following Monday the job was done. Very pleased with the quality of work and how they conduct themselves in a professional manner.
I Highly recommend them for home improvement projects! Had replace the siding on my house would have done it myself if I had the time but instead I hired Mr. Vasilie Kukharchuk and his crew and they did an amazing job. The workmanship was perfect, the clean up perfect I couldn't even tell they were there except for the new siding on my house.
I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for any type of work that needs to be done on your home. My experience with Major Home Improvement was phenomenal!!! Great crew, great boss and the quality of work was amazing!!!!

Major home improvements Mr. Vasilie's crew did high quality workmanship which exceeded my expectations. They paid attention to detail and completed the job in a timely manner. Thank you for great work at a competitive price. Nelda D. Trumbull, CT. I got my roof done early July Major home did exactly what they said they would do. I am very impressed with the quality of work done and the timely completion.
They did not leave any trash. The cleaning up was as good as the roofing itself! If anyone wants professional work at a reasonable price, major home is the company to call. Outstanding work! Professional and prompt!! I have had nothing but great experiences with Major Home Improvements. They did a great roof for me and will also take on smaller jobs.
If I could give more then 5 stars I would! From the start everything went smoothly. Abdul came out, explained the entire process to us. Showed us the materials and explained job from start to finish.
The next day the owner, Vasilie stopped by to explain the process again. That is unheard of these days! He made sure we knew what he and his team were doing. The next day his team showed up and started to work. They had stripped our roof down to trusses and re-shingled it in 2 days! The quality of the work was unbelievable. I would recommend anybody who is looking for a quality roof to contact Major Home Improvements!!
Vasille, the owner, came to our house to give us an estimate. He showed us a presentation on the company and the products they use. We decided to use his company, especially since they offer financing and their prices were comparable to other estimates we had gotten. Vasille came and met with us a second time to set up the financing and helped us select the color we wanted for our roof.
The rate we got was comparable to what our bank could offer us as well. His team was able to complete our roof a couple of days before thanksgiving. The job took a total of one and a half days. The workers were constantly cleaning up after themselves. Vasille came to our house each day his crew was working on our roof and also came the day after to meet with us and go over everything they had done and make sure we were happy with it.
Our roof looks great and we feel very confident that we will not have to deal with anymore roof leaks! This is a great company for roofing. Very knowledgeable in the subject and was willing to explain all the different options available for us. The work was also done very professionally. Would definitely use them again for any other house projects. Vasilie and his team are amazing! Had my roof replaced in the snow and frigid temps. The crew showed up early every day. Very professional and clean.
Vasilie thoroughly explained the process step by step. He also checked in with us daily to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend Major Home Improvements! Thank you so much, Vasilie! We had our roof and gutters done by Major Home improvements this summer and it went great! The most professional, caring owner- and crew of any company we had met with.
We had a torrential rain storm today, and an old cast iron vent pipe that was was sealed with a rubber seal was not met flush due to years of wear on the pipe, it was uneven- not the roofers fault and a few drops of water from the rain began to come in around the corroded pipe. We called Major Home improvements and let them know, and within 25 mins Vasille the owner, was on our roof resealing the old pipe!
This company's customer service, and professionalism outweighs the rest by a long shot.
