I posted this on another forum and thought I should ask here as well.

How common is it on a standard tear off? Do you end up usually replacing a few sheets on average? I know it's on a case by case basis, but I mean in general.
How do you remove the old plywood? Saw, rip and yank? Pull the nails?
Is 1/2 sheathing rated ply the most common replacement?
Compared to tearing off and shingling, is the plywood replacement usually the slowest part of the job? Does it eat man hours?
I ask all this as I'm finishing my roof and that's what I found, the plywood replacement killed my momentum. I tore off fast, and shingled fairly fast, but the in between replacement (along with some plumbing venting corrections I had to rectify since the plywood was removed) took forever. Not to mention, with a hammer and handful of nails, it took a long time nailing them in. I have a roofing gun, but no other nailer.
When I had estimates a year or two ago, I was quoted around $53 a sheet to replace during the roofing job. Is that in the ballpark for what you guys (professionals) charge?
Thanks
Tony
