My wife got a quote to replace our roof. Since I haven't spoken to the
guy yet, I've got question about one thing he quoted:

"Additional cost of $45/sheet for 1/2" plywood."

I have 3/4" tongue & groove under the shingles, not plywood. He didn't
look in the attic, so I doubt he knows this.

Can I assume that the easy answer is - When I tell him it's 3/4"
tongue & groove he'll just quote me a higher price for 3/4" ply?

Yes. *What else could happen? *For the material price difference it
doesn't make sense to futz around with shimming, particularly if he's
piecing in.

What's interesting - and somewhat disturbing - is that he assumes it
is 1/2" without checking.

He just did a neighbor's house the other day and I saw the delivery
guy piling up a bunch of 1/2" sheets of ply.

What if I don't know it's 3/4' and he shows up with a bunch of 1/2"
ply? Is it safe to assume he'd send a truck for 3/4"? (That's not a
question looking for an answer...it's just a curiousity.)

I'm not going to let it be a problem cause every estimate from now on
will include 3/4" - and I will be checking with my neighbor to see if
the guy checked his house first.
