ROOFING VS. REROOFING -
New Roof Installations, Add Ons, Roof Replacement If you come to
find out that your roof has been damaged and needs to be fixed
then there are two main approaches you can take. You can either
decide to make a roof repair or replace the entire roof. Roof repairs
will generally save you time and money, but in most cases a new
roof is the best option. As a general rule of thumb, if the existing
roof on is only one layer and there are no problems with the roof
deck, a new roof is not necessary.
Roof repairs require less labor, material and necessary disposal
compared to installing a new roof. This cuts down on money and
time. However, if you are going to make a repair it is still important
to consider the ventilation of your attic.

 Most expert roofers will agree that re-roofing will not last as
long as a new roof. When re-roofing, the life span of the roofing
singles is approximately 25% less than if you were to go with
a new roof. Furthermore, if your home has any of the following, you
should consider a new roof:
- Existing roofing has bad decking
- Existing roofing is in very poor condition
- Existing roofing has too many layers
- Existing roofing has bad incompatible shingle
If you are still unsure which route to take, PSP Company will
be able to guide you through your decision making. We will
gladly inform you on your options and let you know whether
you need a new roof, or if it’s better for you
to repair your existing one.
