I have a shingle roof that has 3 areas of repair needed. A roofing
contractor looked at it and told me this. His company only does new
roofs and he said I didn't need a new roof, only repair.

He also said that it's one sheet in two of the places and 3 to 5
sheets in the other place. So it would be 7 sheets total repair.

My roof is pitched from 10 feet to 8 feet high in 12 feet of length.

I'm told it's got 3/8 particle board with shingles.

I'm trying to get an approximate cost per/sheet of repair. I'm told
that's how it's priced.

The board right under the roof that is a 1/2 inch by 4 and runs around
the entire house also needs repair in about 20 feet of length.

I've just put out a bid for the repair, and I'm trying to get an idea
of what the cost might be for the entire repair. Just a ballpark idea
so that I know what "window" of price to expect.

Thanks for any help offered.

While you need some decking and fascia repairs, the only way to do the job
right it so do the entire roof or it will look like crap when done. Sounds
like you need a better contractor and better advice. If I was a roofer, I'd
refuse to do a patch on something that needs 7 sheets unless I did a
complete tear-off for proper inspection.

Also, I've never heard of particle board on a roof. OSB, plywood or solid
wood is OK,
