There will be the time when your house will be in need of a newer 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 article will look at both ways.

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

First way you can go is by installing a new roof on top of 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 need to understand if you will or not.Ask the roofing company for some recent jobs they did that you can take a look at.Then you will be able to tell if that look will bother you.  Know of course if you do it this way you will save a lot of money.So you need to know if 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 us to the second point which is price.It doesn’t matter if the bumps and lumps is a bother to you, you have to consider if the price matters to you.So to put it another way, are you willing to pay more to have a better look.Or will that extra money be important to you?  If you do you have to seriously see if the look will bother you with bumps.  Many clients in this economy have opted to save money from what I have experienced in my Encinitas roofing company.

As you can see it really comes down to how good you want it to look.  And are you willing to pay for that look.  If you need to save money go the first way. Especially if you really aren’t that picky about looks.
