In researching for your new roof, you may have come across the terms “tear-off” and “re-roof” and been confused by the difference. The professionals at Freedom Roofing & Construction, Inc. can explain each roof replacement method and help you figure out which one is right for your home.

If you’ve been looking for a Mahomet roofer that will give you straight answers and honest recommendations, you’ve come to the right place.

What Is Re-Roofing?

Many people assume that if their shingles are old and worn out, it’s time to replace the entire roof. This is known as the “tear-off” method, where the shingles and underlay are completely removed before a new roof is installed. But there is another option.

Unless the sheathing is damaged or your roof structure is not strong enough to hold the weight of an additional layer of roofing, our crew can apply new layer of shingles right on top of the old one. When done correctly, a re-roof can extend the life of your current roof and save you money. This method isn’t always appropriate, however, and can only be done one time on any roofing system.

Is Re-Roofing Right for You?

Affordable. When you factor in the materials, labor and the demolition and disposal costs, a re-roof can save you thousands of dollars. Save your money for other home improvements or for an eventual roof replacement you can plan for.

Safer. A tear-off roof replacement includes many inherent risks. From the safety of the workers to the well-being of your lawn and landscaping, a lot of things can go wrong. With a re-roof, these risks are minimized.

The same great warranties. Manufacturers will still honor their warranties when shingles are used for a re-roof.
