Default Costs of roof repairs

I've not ever heard of roofing being priced, bid, or done by the
sheet. By the square (100 square feet) is normal. You may need
to replace several sheets of decking. I've never heard of
particle board of any type used on a roof. OSB (oriented strand
board) that is 7/16 thick is quite common.

You never said what size the house is, but 25 square would handle
many small subdivision houses. 7 are hurt? That's a third to
fourth of the roof, that is a bit beyond a patch.

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.
