Re-Roofing

Although our Salt Lake City roofing company believes roof replacement is a better solution than re-roofing, there are times that re-roofing makes sense.

What Is Re-Roofing?

When you get roof replacement, we tear off all the old shingles and the roof underlayment. This allows us to see if the roof decking needs any repairs. Sometimes we find rot or mold or other issues on the roof deck. With re-roofing, we install new shingles over the old ones. It’s not as thorough of a job, but it saves a lot of time and money compared to roof replacement.

Because re-roofing is a quick fix that costs less than roof replacement, it may make sense for homeowners who rent out their home, or homeowners who are planning to sell their home.

Re-roofing isn’t always possible, however.

1

For instance, if we inspect your roof decking from the inside and find evidence of leaks, mold or wood rot, we wouldn’t re-roof.

2

Re-roofing in this instance may take care of the leak, but the rot and mold would spread, eventually destroying the roof deck underneath.

3

If your current shingles are curling or otherwise don’t lay flat, we cannot install new shingles properly. Also, the process of re-roofing only works with asphalt shingles.

4

You cannot re-roof more than once, however, as regulations prohibit putting on a third layer of shingles.
