The Cons of Re-Roofing

• Certain types of roofs, such as metal sheet, are not recommended for re-roofing
• Re-roofing may not last as long as completely replacing the roof
• Re-roofing can only be done if you have less than two layers of shingles on your roof. You are prohibited in many areas from adding a third layer.
• Because you are not lifting the current shingles, there is no way to know if any damage exists underneath, such as deck rot

If you are planning to re-roof, our team of experts will be more than happy to discuss all of the options available. We can take the time to discuss every factor that affects the cost of both time and labor. Having special requirements such as a roof with steep slopes or complex design will incur additional cost as it would need additional tools and materials for our workers to work on it. Assessment of the old roof if it has previous water damage can also affect the cost because we need to repair the water-damaged roof first before we can install the new roofing.

Another factor that affects the cost is the site’s accessibility. As an example, if it is demanding to move from the truck to the house, the materials must then be offloaded from the truck into the house, which will demand more time and labor, which will increase the expenses.

If your house has extra features, such as skylights or a chimney, the staff will have to navigate through them, which could raise the price. Damaged flashing around the skylights or chimney will also need to be repaired, and this will add further to your cost. Our roofing specialists have the necessary training and experience to ensure that they are qualified to provide you with the best possible solution.
