The Benefits And Drawbacks of Including a Layer of Shingles

Homeowners usually wonder whether it's cost-effective to include another layer of roof shingles rather than tearing off the old ones. While this could appear like a good way to save cash on labor and disposal expenses, it can bring about even more troubles down the roadway. Positioning a second layer traps dampness, which can substantially minimize the life expectancy of the roof shingles, inevitably costing much more over time. In addition, numerous insurance policies do not cover numerous layers, leaving the homeowner in jeopardy. Weathercraft recommends thinking about the long-lasting benefits of a proper tear-off to guarantee your roof is structurally audio. While adding an additional layer may appear less expensive upfront, the possible damages and the reduced roof life might make it less of a deal than it appears.
