2nd Layers

A second layer on your roof is possible, but we never recommend this.


Unlike 3 tab, architectural shingles do not lay flat. Going over architectural shingles and adding a second layer gives a bumpy and misshapen appearance, lowering your curb appeal.


Your roof is composed of a system, not just shingles. There is ice & water shield, felt paper, synthetic underlayment, tape, etc. If any of this system has been compromised, by adding a second layer, it either hides or simply delays more damage.


A second layer makes the roofing system more difficult to "breathe" or properly ventilate, and has been linked to causing more delamination in plywood sheathing.

 

A second layer does not qualify for workmanship warranties, and lasts approximately half the life-time of a new roof, in some cases, even less.


The cost for a roof replacement after a second layer is added dramatically increases the cost for a roof replacement in the future.


If repair work is needed, the cost of a repair is more as opposed to a single layer roof, as a second layer makes a repair much more complicated and labor intensive.


Repair

Your roof is one of the most vital components of your home. It can be very costly if close attention is not paid to your roof, especially if it is in need of repairs. Most penetrations through your roof will be a main cause of future leakage. For example, skylights, as seen on the left, typically start having seal failure after 25 years. It is important to check the condition of the sealant & flashing surrounding your skylights to prevent any water intrusion inside your home.

SNOW REMOVAL

Although roofs in our northern climate are designed to withstand heavy snowfall, it is ESSENTIAL that you routinely remove snow form your roof. This is especially important during a hard and heavy winter! This is service is to prevent ice dams, water infiltration, and in some cases roof collapse. Prevention key to the longevity of your roofs lifespan.
