Homeowners commonly question whether it's cost-effective to add one more layer of roof shingles as opposed to tearing off the old ones. While this might appear like a great way to conserve money on labor and disposal costs, it can cause more issues in the future. Placing a 2nd layer catches moisture, which can substantially decrease the life-span of the tiles, ultimately setting you back more in the lengthy run. Additionally, several insurance plan do not cover several layers, leaving the property owner in jeopardy. Weathercraft recommends considering the long-lasting benefits of a correct tear-off to ensure your roofing is structurally audio. While adding another layer might appear less expensive upfront, the possible damages and the minimized roofing system life may make it much less of a deal than it seems.
