What is re-roofing
Notes:
- Re-roofing is the quickest, easiest, and least expensive method of restoring its appearance. It involves placing a new layer of shingles on top of the existing layer. This covers up any cracks, dents, or other deformities, and it can prevent leaks from getting inside your home.
- You can only re-roof your home if you have one layer of shingles currently installed on your roof. Most building codes prohibit the addition of a third layer.
- Re-roofing does not require any extensive time, labor, or materials, making it an inexpensive option. It does not require replacing the entire roof either, making the process simple and painless.
- Keep in mind that re-roofing does not last as long as replacing your roof, and it won’t fix any major damage. If you have extensive cracks or dents in your roof, it might be better to get it professionally repaired.
- Choosing the right contractor can help make the repair process go smoothly.

What is roof replacement?
Notes:
- Fully replacing your roof involves stripping off the old shingles and exposing the deck. A layer of felt paper is applied, and new shingles are installed on top. A new, professionally installed roof can last twenty years, if not more.
- Replacing your roof is a longer-lasting solution to any damage, including cracks, leaking, or rot. The process has a steeper initial cost, but depending on the extent of damage you are repairing, it can save you money in the long haul.

How to decide between re-roofing and a roof replacement
Notes:
- Knowing the difference between re-roofing and roof replacement is integral to the decision-making process. You can fix minor damage and leaks by re-roofing or having them professionally repaired.
- Damage that is more extensive, like water damage, mold growth, or sagging, might require a full replacement. Age plays a role in choosing between re-roofing and replacement. If your roof is over twenty years old, it is overdue for a replacement.
- For roofs that are under twenty years old, re-roofing or repair will likely be the better and less expensive option.
