Can I Install a new Roof Over an Existing Shingle Roof?
Yes, you can. However, there are some things to keep in mind: You can’t mix materials. You can’t do so with wood or slate. Also, your old roof needs to be in fairly good condition.
How Do I Know If I Need a New Roof?
Your roof will exhibit a number of signs when it is about to go out the door. If it is a shingle roof, it will present missing and damaged shingles. It will also leak more and more frequently and require more repairs. If your roof is near the end of its projected lifespan, you should also be ready to replace it.
