In this article, I will cite some of the code language that deals with the subject and, hopefully, create some road marks along this path. Since the question involves reroofing, which only applies to existing buildings, we need to start with the following subcode (or volume). There are other sections of the code that deal with reroofing, but most of those are taken from the Existing Building subcode. I will cite this code as it applies to this applicable reroofing work.
