How Many Roofs Do You Have Up There?
February 5th, 2013
Do you know what’s going on under your roof?
Recently, we did a reroof for a client and friend. On first inspection, we discovered four layers of previous roof underneath.
What do I mean when I say “previous roof”? I mean instead of tearing off the old roof before laying down new shingles, the last roofer just put new shingles over the old damaged and or rotting ones that were already there. Not just once, but four times!!
Wait. Here is the real kicker… When we got to work on the tear off (and you can imagine how much work that would be, when dealing with all that old roofing material) we found yet another layer of shingles lying underneath the four we had previously noticed.
Yikes, what a mess. Like the rings on a tree, the older this house got the more roof layers it seemed to have, and this is an old house.
In the end, our client came out with a new roof and his poor house sighed with relief when we lifted all that weight off its back.
So, for all you out there looking for a new roof, here is a tip. Do not let your roofer put a new roof on your house without taking off the old one. Just don’t.
Better yet, just call K2roofing and let us take care of it for you.
