For asphalt shingle roofs the type of roofing method can decrease the price. There are two types of roofing methods that you can choose from. The first roofing method is called re-roofing and it’s done to save money on your home’s roof. Re-roofing is done by simply adding another layer of asphalt shingles on top of the original layer of asphalt shingles. The labor costs of removing the old roof are eliminated and also some of the clean up costs are lowered. A home can be re-roofed once and can only have two layers of asphalt shingles total. Three layers of asphalt shingles are typically too much weight.
The other roofing method which is a bit higher is called tear off and replacement. This is a labor intensive process in which the roofing materials that are currently installed on the roof are removed before the new roof is placed. There are some advantages of using tear off and replacement and it’s usually more expensive than re-roofing. In addition, there is more debris that will need to be removed and can raise costs more.
