Currently, there are two options for homeowners who want a new roof: a roof tear-off or re-roofing. Re-roofing involves the roofing company placing new shingles over the ones you currently have. A roof tear off, on the other hand, involves completely removing the old roof shingles and installing a new roofing system. Today, we will explain which option is the best for your home:
Roof Tear Off VS. Re-Roofing
The only benefit of re-roofing is its lower cost compared with a complete roof tear-off. Since there’s only minimal clean-up necessary, some homeowners choose it because it is more affordable. However, you need to consider more things aside from the initial project cost. A roof tear off before a roof replacement is a more valuable and sound investment because it helps protect your home. The roof tear off process helps you discover if your roof decking or underlayment has any problems.
If left undetected, these problems can cause costly roof leaks in the future even if you have covered up the original shingles with new ones. With a roof-tear off, a roof repair and replacement expert like us can also replace your roof’s water and ice shields and flashings, greatly reducing the risk of roof leaks. You won’t need to worry about surprise problems in the future with a proper roof tear off.
