Hi everyone... I have a question regarding installing a new roof on my house.
Recently, I noticed a slight sag in one area of my roof. So - I got up in the attic to investigate. A truss broke, thus causing the sag at that location. Since my shingles look terrible (kinda discolored), I decided that I would re-shingle when I replaced the truss.
Everything else in the attic looks fine - even the truss that broke (old age maybe?) I have an older house, with what I would call "slats" for the roofing board. The wood looks great from inside the attic. No rotting, etc.
Basically, do I need to rip off this old wood and put new down? Or can I simply rip off the old shingles & paper? Is there something I should do or look for before deciding?
Thanks for any info!
Corey
