There will finally be a time when you will be in need of a new roof.When it is time to do it, you are going to have a couple of options.  You can install the new roof over the old roof.  Or you can strip the old roof and install the new roof fresh.This information here will take a look at both ways.

So when you are choosing between the two ways there are only two factors to consider.Those factors are going to be appearance and price.  I am going to share from my experience running my roofing Poway company.

First choice of installing the new roof over the old.If you choose this method you could have a lot of bumps and lumps on the roof.A few people will not mind something like that.  But you have to know if you will or not.Ask the roofing company for some recent jobs they did that you can take a look at.  Then you can see if you mind the look or not.  Know of course if you do it this way you will save a lot of money.So you have to take into account of whether or not it is worth it to you.  We have done it both ways with my Oceanside roofing company and have had customers love both ways.

So that brings up the second option which is the price.Regardless of whether the lumps will be a bother to you, you need to understand if price has to be a factor.  In other words are you willing to have better look even if you have to pay more.Or will that extra money be important to you?Now if you do, you have to really take into account if the bumps will bother you.  Many clients in this economy have opted to save money from what I have experienced in my Encinitas roofing company.

As you can tell what it really comes down to is how good you want the appearance to be.And do you mind paying for that kind of look.If you have to save money choose the first method. Especially if you aren’t so picky about the looks.
