Find New Jersey's Trusted Roofing Contractor for Code-Compliant New Roof Over Existing Installation

Installing a new roofing layer over an existing shingle system is code-compliant in New Jersey under specific conditions, and the decision to layer rather than tear off should be based on a thorough assessment of the existing deck condition, shingle flatness, and the total weight the structure can support. Tyler Roofing LLC provides honest layover assessment for NJ homeowners considering a new roof over existing shingles, including evaluation of whether the existing layer is suitable for overlay and whether the cost savings justify the approach versus a full tearoff on your specific property. We provide written estimates for both options and a clear explanation of the tradeoffs before any work begins.

    Is Your House a Good Candidate for a Reroof Overlay?

    If your house is less than 25 years old and the existing shingles are smooth and in reasonably good condition, you might be a good candidate for a roof overlay. In New Jersey, you can add up to two total roof layers. It’s essential to proceed with this roof installation only if your contractor recommends it. Another critical factor is whether or not the home has adequate ventilation, as inadequate ventilation could lead to plywood damage.

    A skilled roofing contractor can assess whether your roof is suitable for an overlay. A well-executed roof overlay will be smooth, and the previous layer of shingles should be virtually undetectable. Feel free to ask us for two separate quotes—one for a roof overlay and the other for tearing off your old roof and installing a new one. This way, you can make decisions based on all your options. We can also assist with skylight installation and replacing gutters and downspouts.
