What’s the difference between a reroof and roof replacement?

Oct 27, 2017 | Blog, Roofing

One question we often hear from clients is, “what’s the difference between a reroof and a roof replacement?” There are various important differences, and we’re always happy to answer your questions here at Guardian Roofs.

Advantages of reroofing over replacement

One clear advantage of having your property reroofed instead of getting your roof replaced is the reduced costs involved. A reroof can provide significant savings over a whole new roof because you’ll be able to enjoy the protection of a brand new roof covering without the expense and hassle of having a new roof deck or structural supports. In some cases, our expert roofers are even able to reroof right over your old asphalt shingles.

Interested in changing your roof material?

If it’s time to change your roof, either by reroofing or replacing your roof, you may be thinking about changing your roof material. Consider upgrading to tile, slate, metal, or wood shakes. While these materials initially cost more, they provide a much longer service life, so you may not ever have to replace them in your lifetime. These materials will also give your home a more distinctive unique look, and make your home stand out against most other homes that have asphalt shingle roofs. It’s important to be aware, though, that not all building frames are strong enough to support the additional weight of these heavier materials without modification. You may have to invest more in your roof, but you’ll quickly find that your new roof looks better and lasts much longer than a regular asphalt roof would.
