Multiple Layers

These photos reveal what multiple layers of shingles look like—a hidden issue that many homeowners are unaware of until problems arise. Some roofers do an excellent job of concealing the additional layers beneath a fresh installation, making it difficult for new homeowners to detect. While this may seem like a quick and cost-effective solution, it often leads to a much higher price when replacing the roof later. Increasing the amount of man hours needed to tear-off the old roof, increased waste, and increased clean up time. Here is what to look for, if you are unsure how many layers you have.
