If your roof has become a little worn and weathered over the years, then it may be time for a replacement. However, in many cases, re-roofing may also get the job done while saving you money. If you’re not sure whether to repair or replace your roof, the experts from Guaranteed Roofing in Jenks and Tulsa, OK, have the advice you need.

Re-Roofing 101

What the Process Entails

Re-roofing involves layering new shingles on top of existing ones. If your roof is getting a little old but is still in decent shape, then re-roofing is a quick, economical alternative to replacement. Afterward, your roof will look like new and last for years to come. It’s an especially welcome solution when you want to re-do your entire roof, rather than just a particular section. However, if your roof has water damage, mildew growth, or missing shingles, then this process will not be sufficient.

Re-Roofing vs. Roof Replacement

Re-roofing may sometimes be problematic because you cannot see what lies underneath the shingles. A roofing deck that has been subject to rot or mold, for example, will continue to worsen, as the shingles will only mask the problem at hand. Additionally, if there are any signs of water damage, you need to instead opt for a roof replacement. You should also keep in mind that if your roof already has two layers of shingles, then you cannot add another one. Instead, you will need to replace it.
