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.

"Martin Roofing did an excellent roofing job in 2017 for the main part of my house, and I now needed a new flat roof over my porch. Times change, so I looked around again, and came up with the same conclusion, Martin Roofing was the best. They were responsive to my questions. There was no pressure, they were fine waiting until I got the other proposals for review. Their proposal was fair & clear. The work was done as proposed without any delays. They did an excellent job, and cleaned up all debris. The workers were experts & very kind. I would recommend them 100%."

"We are very pleased with your roof crew’s work in the heat, respect of and attention to detail in preserving our border plantings and property, cleaning up thoroughly and the speed at which they completed the job. To me the noise was not as loud or as constant as I set my mind to expect. You as the owner went beyond our expectations in educating us on the product and process, exclusively installing and having Owens-Corning sample boards to see, (We installed Owens-Corning architectural shingles on our previous home in 2005 and were hoping to do the same here), providing us drive by addresses to view completed projects and see the colors on a ‘whole’ house, and your patience in giving us a few days to digest our needs and NOT being pushy. You were able to put up with me to answer my picky questions too!! You kept us informed with prompt text/call/email communication. That was most appreciated to not feel forgotten and probably worrisome to you as the weather was not always cooperating to move jobs promised further out. That we totally understood. Marty gave us your name when he was notified of our pending painting needs to get on his spring schedule way back in February. We are grateful to him for his recommendations over the past 25+years and have not been disappointed. He is a good resource for suggesting things as well as knowing who he would personally hire to deal with and not. Again, THANK YOU for a superior job, being helpful and honest throughout this process. Your name will be passed to others when asked. Please add us to your “drive by” list for your first home completed with the new color roofing material.
Sincerely,
Ellen and Joe Zemetis, Westbrook, CT
"Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had with any type of contractor. They were always on time with great communication and information. Chris was able to provide samples and local addresses so I could drive by to see what our roof choice would look like. We couldn’t be more pleased with the end result, and the huge change it made to our house. We have a steep pitched roof, so we needed to choose the color very carefully after choosing the right product. The crew that installed the roof was just fantastic. The job was done in a day, and the cleanup was perfect. I always make sure I get several quotes and I did compare their quote to other Owens Corning preferred contractors. The Martin quote was the least expensive, but I honestly would have paid more just to get them to do the work. They are just that good. Thanks Chris!"

"Fantastic experience from beginning to end with Martin Roofing! When gathering estimates for a repair Chris couldn't have been more clear about our options, and friendly answering every one of our questions. We opted to replace the roof even though Martin told us how to get a few more seasons out of it with some maintenance. The countdown to install was also exceptional, between providing us with any sample shingles we asked for (and it was alot) to providing us houses to drive by with those options and our same color scheme as our home. It really made what was a bigger decision than we had considered much easier. As the days approached we knew exactly what to expect timing wise because we received frequent and accurate updates to their arrival and installation estimates. The day of went super easy. They tarped and covered everything, and even though every window was covered as they stripped the old roof we knew exactly what was happening because of their convenient photo page with updates of our property! Pretty cool process really, and definitely a cool feature I hadn't even thought of for roofing. They cleaned everything, did it in one day, and were pleasant throughout with a price more than a couple but less than a few competitors. They've done like eight houses on our street at this point, what does that tell you? I would certainly choose Martin Roofing again, and I'm glad we did!"
