Yes, roofing shingles can be installed over an existing roof, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind. At Scaffs India, we provide expert guidance on whether this approach is suitable for your specific roof type and condition.

Advantages of Installing Shingles Over an Existing Roof

• Cost-Effective: Installing shingles over an existing roof can save on labor and material costs, as it eliminates the need for full roof removal.
• Time-Saving: The installation process is quicker compared to removing the old roof and starting fresh.
• Minimal Disruption: Re-roofing with shingles causes less disruption to your home or business.

Considerations Before Installing Shingles Over an Existing Roof

While installing shingles over an existing roof can be a convenient option, it’s essential to assess the condition of the current roof. The existing roof must be in good condition, without signs of damage, sagging, or moisture buildup. Learn more about our roofing services to assess your roof’s readiness for new shingles.

When Not to Install Shingles Over an Existing Roof

In certain cases, it’s better to remove the old roofing materials before installing new shingles. For example, if the roof has already had multiple layers of shingles or shows extensive damage, it’s better to remove the old roof and start fresh.
