    And you went up into the attic and looked at the truss and the underlay wood, what did he look like?

    the time to replace the plywood would have been while you were shingling. If you are really concerned you could brace the plywood by in stalling 2 x 4's between the trusses or rafters from the attic. To replace the plywood you need to remove the shingles and underlayment, replace the plywood and install new shingles that may or may not match. If you did not fall through while shingling or walking I would not worry too much about it.
