There will finally be a time when you will be in need of a new roof.When it finally comes time to do it you are going to need to make a couple of decisions.You have the option of installing the new roof on top of the old roof.Or you can remove the old roof and place a fresh brand new roof installed.  This article will look at both ways.

So when trying to make a decision between the two ways there is only two things to consider.Those factors are going to be appearance and price.  I am going to share from my experience running my roofing Poway company.

First way you can go is by installing a new roof on top of the old.If this will be the method you choose you could possibly have some bumps on the roof.Some people don't care about it.But you need to understand if you will or not.  Ask the contractor for a couple of recent addresses where they did this.  Then you can see if you mind the look or not.  Know of course if you do it this way you will save a lot of money.So you have to take into account of whether or not it is worth it to you.  We have done it both ways with my Oceanside roofing company and have had customers love both ways.

So that brings up the second option which is the price.  Whether you mind the lumps and bumps or not you have to consider if price is a factor.  In other words are you willing to have better look even if you have to pay more.Or will that extra money be important to you?  If you do you have to seriously see if the look will bother you with bumps.  Many clients in this economy have opted to save money from what I have experienced in my Encinitas roofing company.

As you can tell what it really comes down to is how good you want the appearance to be.And do you mind paying for that kind of look.  If you need to save money go the first way. Especially if you don't think that the looks will bother you because you aren't so picky.
