What Should You Do If You Suspect Your New Home Has Several Layers of Roofing?

Contents

how to handle roofing layers

In some cases, old roofs are not torn down before placing the new one. This is a roofing approach that tends to help homeowners save money, but it has a significant drawback: the roofing structure can become unstable over time, and the construction itself is no longer standard. If the previous owner of your home failed to mention that the roof has actually been re-roofed in this way, you might be at a loss as to what you should do.

 

In most of these instances, you don’t have anything to worry about right away. Even if the roof was installed in this way, if the job was done well, then there should be no leaks or signs of possible damage that could lead to the need for a complete re-roofing job. That being said, it’s still important to take precautionary measures and make sure you have all the information at your disposal.

 

A roof inspection by roofing East Lansing professionals is the best course of action you can take. It will reveal whether or not the roof has any points where it’s unstable and where it could succumb to storm damage or present more damage than usual. In some cases, following the roof inspection, you will need to have your roof replaced and the old layers removed – especially if there are more than two layers present.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
