Roof Replacement FAQs — Durham

North Carolina code typically allows one layer of shingles over existing in most jurisdictions, but most contractors recommend full tear-off anyway. Reasons: tear-off lets the contractor inspect and repair decking, qualifies for full manufacturer warranties, removes accumulated weight, and avoids the "doubled" appearance that hurts resale. Overlay is rarely the right answer except for very recent roofs with isolated damage.
