Reroofing is a viable alternative to fully reinstalling a new roof.

If your roof has been damaged, or the process of aging has taken its toll, there are two options available to you: you can decide to either repair the roof or to replace it entirely.

The benefits of Reroofing over your existing roof are:

• The house’s occupants are not affected by the often very invasive process involved in installing a new roof.
• The interior of the house, as well as the ceilings, are not exposed to the elements while the job is being done.
• You will effectively have two roofs, which means extra protection for the weather as well as added insulation properties.

Roof repairs are generally less expensive and time-consuming. However, in many cases a new roof is the best solution. Most experienced roofers are in agreement that reroofing will last about 25% less than a new roof.

If your roof has any of these problems, then you should seriously consider a new roof:

• Bad decking
• Overall poor condition
• There are already too many layers
• Incompatible shingles
