What happens here

Once the damaged sheathing sections are removed, measure the dimensions of the openings. Cut new plywood sheets or lumber boards to these exact measurements. Place the new sheathing into the openings, ensuring a snug fit. Secure the new sheathing to the existing roof trusses or framing using a nail gun, firing fasteners at appropriate intervals (e.g., 6 inches along edges, 12 inches in the field) to provide a stable, solid surface. This step creates a sound base for the new roofing materials.

Goal: Measure and cut new plywood or lumber to fit the removed sections, then secure it to the roof trusses using a nail gun and proper fasteners.
