Hi-Def Restorations

Why You Shouldn't Do It (The Cons)

Hidden Damage: You cannot see or repair the wooden roof decking underneath. Existing rot or water damage will continue to worsen underneath the new layer.

Excessive Weight: A second layer of asphalt shingles adds roughly 2 to 3 lbs of weight per square foot. This puts heavy structural strain on the home's framing, increasing the risk of sagging or collapsing, especially under heavy snow.

Voided Warranties: Most shingle manufacturers will void their product warranties if they are installed over an existing layer.

Reduced Lifespan: Shingles expand and contract with the weather. When laid over old, uneven shingles, the new ones wear out faster.

Poor Ventilation: Layering traps heat and moisture, driving up cooling costs and encouraging rot, mold, and ice dams.

Building Codes & Resale: Many municipal building codes strictly limit a roof to a maximum of two shingle layers. Additionally, multiple layers are a major red flag for home inspectors during a real estate sale.
