Roof Replacement

Re-Roofing Specialists

When it is time to re-roof your house, you need to decide whether you want to remove the old shingles or put new ones over them. Most building codes say that the option is either:

Reroofing: The process of recovering or replacing an existing roof covering.

Roof Recover: The process of installing an additional roof covering over a prepared existing roof covering without removing the existing roof covering.

Roof Replacement: The process of removing the existing roof covering, repairing any damaged substrate and installing a new roof covering. In some cases, local building codes will limit the available options—most do not allow more than two roof coverings on a building. However, there is no easy, universal answer if only one roof is in place. Although in many cases it is not necessary to tear off old shingles before installing new shingles, some roofing professionals will insist on replacement because it ensures that a completely new roofing system is installed.

A roof may need to be torn off or covered if the decking is in bad shape or if there are two layers of shingles. But one layer of shingles with a good deck might not need to be replaced. Before deciding, check with your city's building codes.

It is important to have adequate roof ventilation. You can read more about this in the ARMA Technical Bulletin on Ventilation and Moisture Control for Residential Roofing. If you need new material on your roof, then some of the old material will probably have to be taken off first.

A roof deck is wood on the roof and It can be rotten or damaged. You need to fix this before you cover it with new shingles. Sometimes, too many layers of old shingles are on the roof deck which means that you have to take more than one layer off before putting up new ones. If the roof looks crooked and not stable. You need to get a professional to inspect the structure for defects. The condition of the shingles on your roof could be very bad because they are uneven and cannot be flattened, so you need new ones.

Your decision can impact the curb appeal of your home and the performance of your roof. Replacing your roof can be a very expensive home improvement.
