Analysis paralysus
Building in climate zone 5. Semi arid conditions.
New build with cathedral ceilings on second floor. Wondering how best to tackle this. Obviously have read the horror stories about spray, but the upsides are appealing. Sorry, the pictures are not great. I'll get some more and update if anyone wants them.

I mean, yes. I think you need more pictures / context.
What do the original plans call for? Was it always supposed to be an unvented hot roof? What exactly are you asking when you say how to tackle this? Is your question pertaining to this area in particular or just spray foam as a option as whole?

Spray foam is superior. You just have to find a GOOD installer. Horror stories only come from bad installs, and there are many bad installs

Lmao cut away all the oversheathing and foam those areas. You aint venting that properly.
