Home owners frequently question whether it's economical to add one more layer of tiles rather than tearing off the old ones. While this may seem like a great way to conserve cash on labor and disposal prices, it can cause more issues in the future. Positioning a second layer catches moisture, which can significantly lower the life expectancy of the shingles, inevitably costing more over time. Furthermore, numerous insurance plan do not cover multiple layers, leaving the house owner at risk.

While adding another layer could appear less costly upfront, the prospective damage and the decreased roofing system life might make it less of a bargain than it seems.
