Default Very Important roofing information

roofing season is here and many contractors including ourselves get involved with several roofing projects in the fall for obvious reasons.
One of the key things i want to point out to homeowners is to never let a so called contractor talk you into whats called a "go over" or adding a second layer of shingles to your existing roof. Good contractors will not offer that service for several reasons, first off you' ll cut the life of the new shingles nearly in half in the picture i have provided below is a roof that was done less than 10 years ago A GO OVER, by a local roofing company that has since gone out of business. However there is another roofing company local (wont mention) names many people no who this person is that still to this day will try to talk consumers into a "go over" the bottom layer that has already failed now becomes your underlayment doesn't work. this post is simply to help folks that don't no about this. the house in this picture belongs to senior citizens and in my opinion were taken advantage of. best wishes to all. hope this has helped
