I'm looking at replacing a small roof over a front porch. It's very low pitch, about 1 or 1-1/2 in 12, so I'm thinking a torch down is the best option. When I tear off the old roof I pretty much know what I'll find... 80 year old 1x sheathing (like old subfloor) that probably needs replaced in a few spots.
My question is what to put over the sheathing, whether it will need something like dense board or plywood, or whether I should just nail down 30 lb felt or something else altogether.
I can post some pics of the roof tomorrow, if that helps any.
Thanks
