Tip - what to ask a roofer

Remove or leave the existing roof?

Most people don't know it but it is actually possible to leave an existing roof on a house and put an additional layer on top. This can only be done on composite roofs that have no more than one existing layer. The existing layer must not be extensively warped or damaged and the underlayment must be in good shape. The most common reason for taking this approach is to save money. The cost of labor to remove the old roof and dispose of the shingles is avoided. Finally, the warranty of the new roof is not impacted.

There are many reasons, however, to not cover up your old roof.

• In the future, when you need to replace the roof again, you will need to tear off two layers of roof and dispose of them
• The resale value of your home is likely to drop when more than one roof layer is present
• Any problems with the roof deck that might exist will not be found
• If any leaks develop they will be more difficult to track down
• Today's roofing materials are very heavy and the weight can put stress on the structure of your home
• Any curling of the older shingles may cause curling of the newer shingles
• Some composite roofing products (like Certainteed Presidential TL) cannot be installed over an old roof

Sammamish Roofers for Four Generations

The ultimate choice in roofers and roofing materials belongs to the home owners, of course. Some of the factors to take into consideration are how long do you plan to live in your home, how confident are you that the substructure is in good shape, and how flat is the existing roofing surface? In addition, some communities have Home owners associations to take into consideration. To feel confident in your approach speak with some different roofing companies, read reviews, and look up licensing. Emerald State's roofers are happy to assist you with your roofing questions or concerns.
