Guys that don't do things correctly the first time.....then argue that they did nothing wrong.....if made to agree to fix the problem, rarely put the time and effort into truely doing it properly. they'll just look for the quickest fix to appease you and get their money. JDRHI 84310.51

Hi John, i am using these products on my own home...
Reason's being: i'm constructing this house solo
And the zip system roof & wall material are made up w/ the same type resins/glue as Huber's advantech T&G flooring,
Making it highly water resistant...which is very important when it is going to be exposed to the elements for prolonged periods of time
On top of that it has the outer skin 'moisture barrier" in place so as you do not necessarily have to apply house wrap or roofing felt...... ie. the zip tape was very easy to apply compared to traditional felt or wrap.
I left some scrap pieces laying around the yard and unlike osb i cannot see any deterioration after being wet many times
This roof sheathing has been installed for almost 60 days and i have not noticed any leaks what so ever after many rains.
wall sheathing cost was $10.99 per sheet
roof sheathing cost was $14.99 per sheet
tape $33.00 per roll
here are a few pictures...
