All parts of a home are crucial, but some more than others. Think of the roof as the umbrella of the home; its absence guarantees the ruin of everything within the house. That’s why this roofing decision is so important to homeowners. Damaged roofs and older roofs create a risk of water intrusion, which can lead to significant problems for homeowners. Water damage is a common worry, especially for homeowners with old or storm-hit roofs. At Resilient Roof, we’re here to guide you through the decision-making process and help you choose the best solution for your home.
What is Reroofing?
Don’t be shy to ask the question of your roofer, “What does reroofing mean?” They’ve heard this question many times and understand you need a clear answer. Reroofing means putting new roof tiles right over the existing ones. This option is generally less expensive and quicker than a full replacement. However, it’s crucial to understand its limitations.
When is Reroofing the right choice?
- Your roof is currently a single layer of shingles, we can discuss adding a second layer.
- The beneath-roof deck is in good condition.
- The flashing and other components are in good condition, with only minor damages.
- You need an affordable solution for your relatively new roof.
Limitations of Reroofing
- This could overload your roof structure.
- This method won’t resolve rot or structural damage.
- It may void certain manufacturer warranties.
- Building codes in some areas limit the number of roof layers allowed.
