These homeowners purchased this home and knew it needed a new roof. What they did not know was that the previous homeowner had installed 2-layers of shingles on the home and the gutter guards the previous owner had installed were drilled directly into the roof deck causing all of the plywood on the eaves of the home to rot out. Fortunately our team is capable of getting the job done right. We had the necessary equipment on hand and were able to get through the carpentry repairs efficiently not further delaying the roof installation. This homeowner is now enjoying their new GAF roof with a lifetime warranty backed by the manufacturer. They threw away those old gutter guards and ended up installing gutter guards that do not drill through the roofline.

Can you put 2 layers of shingles on a roof? 

Adding a second layer of shingles is possible but never recommended. It increases roof weight, shortens the lifespan of the new shingles, and can hide underlying damage. It may also lead to higher costs for future replacements. While some areas allow two layers, a full tear-off is usually better for long-term durability.
