Roof Sheathing Codes Report

Roof sheathing codes refer to the specific standards adopted by your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) that dictate what type of deck material, thickness, span, and fastening a roof must have. These regulations dictate what sheathing specifications and requirements are compliant, acceptable for manufacturer warranties, and ensure roofs are constructed properly to withstand various types of severe weather including snow and ice.

When you include incorrect sheathing specification in your estimate—thickness, material, or span—you risk a supplement, a warranty dispute, or a carrier rejecting the estimate you submitted for your roofing job. Using the exact sheathing code allows adjusters and contractors to agree on installing to the right standard and ensuring the homeowner’s roof replacement is constructed properly

Using OneClick Code, you simply enter the project’s property address, and the report indicates the local sheathing requirements automatically. You attach the report to your estimate or claim, showing both the code requirements enforced by the authority having jurisdiction and how your estimate aligns with it. This makes your documentation defensible for carriers and accelerates the review time, so you can close roofing jobs out faster.

The fastest and easiest way to find accurate sheathing codes is through OneClick Code. By entering a project’s address, you instantly get verified local sheathing requirements, including deck material type, thickness, span rating, and fastening patterns. It removes the guesswork of searching municipal websites or calling building departments, saving you time and ensuring every estimate you submit meets local code and manufacturer standards.

The OneClick Code Report covers material type (plywood, OSB), minimum thickness, allowable span between supports, fastening pattern, and any special requirements. With OneClick Code Sheathing Reports, you can write your estimate knowing you’re following current, verified code requirements, not anecdotal numbers from past jobs.

Our system continuously monitors changes in building code editions and local amendments. When a jurisdiction revises its sheathing requirements, our team updates our proprietary database so you’ll always be working with current information. Attaching updated sheathing code requirements to your estimate helps prove you’re working to today’s standard, not yesterday’s guess, or bad data generated from an incorrect AI search
