What Reroofing Is and When It’s Right
Understanding overlays versus tear-offs
Reroofing renews your home’s protection by installing a new shingle layer over an existing one when the current roof is still structurally sound. It can be faster, less disruptive, and more cost-effective than a full tear-off, while still improving curb appeal, weather resistance, and warranty coverage when conditions are suitable.
Reroofing is appropriate only when there is a single existing layer, the roof deck is solid, and there are no widespread leaks, soft spots, or significant shingle curling. Many building codes limit roofs to two layers, and some manufacturer warranties or flashing conditions may require a tear-off. Our team evaluates decking, ventilation, flashing, and code requirements to recommend the safest, longest-lasting solution for your home.
A clean, safe, step-by-step approach
We begin with a comprehensive inspection—measuring slopes, checking the attic for moisture and ventilation, testing for deck integrity, and reviewing flashing details. After permits and material selections are finalized, we protect landscaping and siding, replace any compromised flashings that can be renewed without removing the deck surface, and prepare the existing roof for the new layer using correct fastener length and course alignment. Because an overlay goes over the current surface, underlayment and ice barriers generally cannot be added; instead, we prioritize meticulous water-shedding details and ventilation improvements where feasible.
Throughout installation, safety and cleanliness are paramount. Crews maintain a tidy site with daily magnetic nail sweeps, protect walkways, and keep you informed about progress. We complete a multi-point quality inspection, document the work, and help register manufacturer coverage. Most reroofing projects finish within one to two days depending on roof size, complexity, and weather.
Quality products tailored to your roof
We offer architectural and impact- or algae-resistant asphalt shingles in a wide range of colors and profiles, with options for higher wind ratings and reflective granules for better energy performance. For roofs with specialized conditions—such as low-slope sections or metal—our experts will advise when a tear-off or alternate system is the safer, code-compliant choice. We also verify roof load so the added shingle layer remains within structural limits.
System details matter: we use proper starter courses, ridge caps, sealants, and corrosion-resistant fasteners long enough to penetrate the deck as required. We assess and update flashings at chimneys, walls, and penetrations where possible during an overlay and evaluate ventilation to meet manufacturer and code standards. If critical components like underlayment, drip edge, or full flashing replacement are needed, we’ll explain why a tear-off may deliver better performance and value.
Manufacturer shingle coverage is available on qualifying overlays, and we provide clear documentation on what is and isn’t covered.
