  1. Roof Repair NH Experts Explain Why You Should Avoid Overlaying Shingles on the Roof ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Every Roof Repair NH service provider would suggest homeowners refrain from overlaying shingles on the roof of their house. If the roof of your house isn’t in a good condition, you need to get it repaired promptly or replaced entirely. Some people choose to lay new shingles over old ones. This process is what a roofer describes as shingle overlaying. Many individuals claim that it’s an effective and time-saving process, but the best roofing organizations will advise against it. So, why should you avoid overlaying shingles? Roofers believe that this procedure will turn your roof into a time bomb. Even if it doesn’t affect your property right now, it will do so later. You shouldn’t make the mistake of cutting corners when it comes to the roof. Just contact a professional and experienced roofing contractor to repair the roof or replace it entirely to ensure the roof remains protected from all kinds of damages.

Even if you’ve used the best roofing materials available in the market to build the roof, it’ll only be able to handle a specific amount of weight. You probably know that these shingles are heavy. Overlaying shingles over the existing roof will exert a tremendous amount of pressure. Eventually, the roof will cave in. Other problems If you build an Asphalt Roof NH over an existing yet damaged layer of shingles, even the best contractors won’t be able to address the damage. Shingle overlaying is an unsafe roofing process, and it defeats the entire purpose of reworking the roof. If you leave old damages unchecked, it’ll lead to leaks in the future or even injuries if the roof caves in. Furthermore, water can get trapped between the shingle layers – the old and the new ones. This situation will cause the newly installed shingles to harbor mold. Before you even realize what’s happening, the roof will start leaking, especially because of the extra nail holes present beneath. If you wish to avoid the issues described here, you should refrain from overlaying shingles on your roof.
