Roofs are the most important part of a home, other than the foundation. It can make or break a home. A damaged roof can cause a lot of problems starting from leaks to even a collapse. That’s why a roof must be fixed or replaced through a proper roofing company when the situation arises.
There are times when a quick fix can help, but at other times one needs to do a complete roof replacement. Reroofing is layering one set of new shingles over a set of existing shingles. It is a temporary solution to fix a damaged roof. If you have a roof that is nearing its span and needs some fixing then Reroofing is a great idea. It will boost the lifespan by a couple of years.
But Roof Replacement involves tearing off everything on the roof down to the deck, then putting on new felt paper and shingles. While reroofing can only be done with one layer of shingle in place, roof replacement can be done when there are many layers in the roof.
People often go with reroofing when they assume they can fix the roof, and when the shingles are only one layered. But Roof Replacement is done when reroofing has already been done and there is no other option but replacing it.
Roof replacement takes more time and labour as well as money. Whereas reroofing is a quick fix for homeowners. It is a safe and easy way to save a roof that is nearing its lifespan. But it doesn’t last long so Getting the roof replaced is the better and long-term solution.
