Re-Roofing (Roof Overlay) — A Smart Alternative in Many Cases

Re-roofing (or overlay) means installing a new roofing layer over existing roofing materials (as allowable by code). When your existing roof is in moderate condition but showing age, overlaying can save cost/time instead of full tear-off.

When Re-Roofing Makes Sense:

  • Only 1 existing layer of shingles (per local code)
  • Underlying deck and structure is sound (no rot or damage)
  • You want to extend life without full replacement
  • Budget-conscious but desire better performance

Risks / Limitations:

  • You don’t get full access to inspect or repair underlying decking
  • May limit how many future overlays are possible
  • Can trap moisture or mask hidden damage
  • May complicate warranty transfers

Our Re-Roofing Process:

  1. Inspection & deck assessment
  2. Tear-off selective areas / check sheathing
  3. Add underlayment / ice & water barrier
  4. Install new roofing (shingles, tiles, )
  5. Flashing, ventilation rework, trim, cleanup
  6. Final inspection

Why Superior Roofing’s Approach Is Safer / Better:

  • We’ll only recommend re-roofing when it’s safe and code-compliant
  • Our inspectors use moisture mapping and infrared to detect hidden damage
