If you lay a new roof over an old roof, decking cannot be inspected, flashing will not be properly fitted and the excessive heat this creates will prevent your shingles from wearing properly


How to determine the need for
ROOF REPLACEMENT

If you notice ceiling spots:

  • Check attic or crawl space for leaks
  • Check chimney vents for cracks
  • Check eaves for ice damage
  • Check for damaged shingles

If you are missing shingles:
This may be caused by wind damage or improper fastening. Shingles can usually be replaced individually.

If you are noticing sand like granules near your gutters:
The granules will be the same color as your roof and may be a sign of hail damage or aging shingles.

BUCKLING may be caused by movement in the deck or felt exposure prior to application

BLISTERING may be caused by moisture or lack of ventilation

ROTTING may be caused by moisture

  • NEVER lay an old roof over a new roof!

  • Always use metal or weatherwatch to protect
   valleys

Damage to the    chimney or vent flashing may either be from improper    installation or from drying and cracking. This can sometimes be repaired without     replacing the roof.
