🧹 Tear-Off (Removing the Old Roof)
Pros: Exposes the roof deck so any hidden damage (like rot or leaks) can be repaired.
Ensures a longer-lasting, more secure installation.
Cons: More labour-intensive and costly.
Takes longer to complete.
🧱 Roof-Over (Installing New Roof Over Old One)
Pros: Faster and more affordable—no tear-off or disposal needed.
Adds an extra layer of insulation.
Cons: Can only be done once (most codes allow a max of two layers).
Adds weight to the structure—your roof must be strong enough.
May trap moisture or cover up existing issues.
🛠️ What Most Pros Recommend
If the existing roof is in good shape (flat, no leaks, no rot), a roof-over might be okay. But for long-term durability and peace of mind, a full tear-off is usually the better investment.

Core Components of a New Roof Installation

Tear-Off: Removal of old roofing materials to inspect the underlying structure.

• Roof Decking: Plywood or OSB base layer; replaced if damaged or rotted.
• Underlayment: Waterproof barrier (felt or synthetic) that protects against moisture.
• Drip Edge: Metal flashing at edges to guide water into gutters and prevent rot.
• Flashing Metal: seals around chimneys, vents, and valleys to prevent leaks.
• Ventilation: Ridge vents, soffit vents, or box vents to regulate attic temperature.
• Roof Covering: Tiles or slate—your main weatherproof layer.
• Guttering: (Optional) New gutters and downpipes to manage rainwater runoff.
• Cleanup & Disposal: Removal of old materials and debris from the site.
• Final Inspection: Quality check to ensure everything is sealed, aligned, and up to code.

Curb Appeal: A fresh roof instantly improves your home’s appearance, which can attract more buyers and higher offers.
Buyer Confidence: Knowing the roof won’t need replacing soon gives buyers peace of mind—often leading to quicker sales and fewer negotiations.
Energy Efficiency: Modern roofing materials can improve insulation and reduce energy bills, which is a big plus for eco-conscious buyers.
Avoids Value Loss: Even if it doesn’t dramatically increase value, a new roof prevents your home from losing value due to visible wear or damage.

• Dry ridge vent system or ridge vents for exhaust
• Aim for a 50/50 balance between intake and exhaust.
• Ventilation is especially important if you have insulation at ceiling level (cold roof design).
• If your loft is converted or insulated at rafter level (warm roof), you may need breather membranes and tile vents instead.
