Home owners typically question whether it's cost-efficient to add an additional layer of shingles instead than tearing off the old ones. While this might feel like an excellent way to save cash on labor and disposal prices, it can lead to more problems down the roadway. Putting a second layer traps wetness, which can dramatically decrease the lifespan of the roof shingles, inevitably costing extra in the future. Furthermore, several insurance plan do not cover multiple layers, leaving the homeowner at risk. Weathercraft advises considering the lasting advantages of an appropriate tear-off to ensure your roofing is structurally audio. While adding another layer could show up cheaper upfront, the possible damage and the lowered roofing life may make it less of a bargain than it appears.
