- My Rochester roof already has two shingle layers — what does that mean?
- It means the next roof must be a tear-off — NH code limits roofing layers, and a third layer would be illegal as well as a bad idea. Overlays trap heat, telegraph every bump through the new shingles, block ice-and-water shield from the eaves where code requires it, and hide whatever the deck has been doing under there for 40 years. Tear-off costs more than an overlay would, but it’s the difference between a new roof and an expensive-looking patch.
- Do you do roof repairs in Rochester, or replacements only?
- Both. If the problem is localized — flashing around a chimney, a few wind-lifted shingles, one leaky valley — we repair it and tell you what the rest of the roof has left. If the roof is failing everywhere, we’ll show you why with photos, not adjectives. What we won’t do is sell a repair on a roof that’s done, or a replacement on a roof that isn’t. The inspection and written estimate cost nothing either way.
