DURABLE AND DEPENDABLE REROOFING IN PENRITH
WHAT IS REROOFING?
While they might sound the same, reroofing and roof replacement are actually quite different. Reroofing is the process of laying a new set of shingles over an existing set. Roof replacement involves tearing off the entire roof and putting down new felt paper and shingles. Because reroofing involves adding an additional layer to the roof, it can only safely be done once. But when re-roofing is an option, it can often be a much faster and far less expensive solution to a roof renovation or replacement.

WHEN TO REROOF
Reroofing is a good option for a roof nearing the end of its life span but still in good overall condition. An additional set of shingles will help the roof maintain its security without overcomplicating the repair process. Reroofing is also a relatively easy and cost-effective way to change or improve the aesthetics of your home. New roof shingles can help create a fresh look or a more modern finish to a home.
WHEN TO REPLACE A ROOF
If re-roofing has already been done once, it cannot be reroofed again. If a roof is rotting, sagging or has any other structural damage to the roof deck, it is also a good idea to replace your roof. Reroofing is also unwise if only a portion of the roof needs to be replaced. Adding an additional layer to only one area of a roof can create uneven layers and may result in misalignments or notable differences.
