Roof Layover-old

What is a Roof Layover?

We at GreenGo Roofing are often asked, “What exactly is a roof layover?” Simply put, a roof layover is when we install a four-tier roofing system layered with top-quality roofing materials over your current roof. It’s an effective strategy that utilizes your roof’s structural integrity.

We add reinforcing layers instead of completely dismantling your existing roof—a wasteful and expensive process. This method enhances your roof’s overall strength and durability, fortifying it against harsh weather conditions. Our commitment to using only the best materials means your home stays safeguarded throughout the seasons.

Moreover, a roof layover, which you might hear referred to as re-roofing, is more than just an application of moisture barriers. It’s a deliberate technique that builds upon your home’s strong base. By choosing an overlay, you bypass the mess and hassle of a total roof removal, which can be a significant source of waste and additional costs. Instead, we work with what you have, reinforcing your roof’s defenses so it’s better prepared to protect you and your loved ones from whatever nature throws your way.

Longevity and Protection

But it’s not just about protection—there’s also the benefit of added longevity. A roof layover significantly extends the life of your existing roof, providing you with many more years of reliable shelter without the immediate financial investment of a complete tear-off and new roof installation.

Advantages of Roof Overlay

Cost-Effectiveness: Opting for a roof overlay can significantly reduce expenses compared to a complete roof replacement. You save on labor and disposal costs by avoiding the need to tear off your existing roof.

Time Efficiency: A roof overlay project is generally faster than a complete replacement. This means less disruption for your household and a quicker turnaround, so you can enjoy peace of mind with a renewed roof.

Environmental Impact: Roof overlays contribute to environmental conservation by reducing landfill waste. This choice benefits your budget and supports sustainability.

Preservation: This method preserves the existing roof structure, maintaining the integrity of your home while upgrading its defense against the elements.

When is a Roof Layover Appropriate?

Roof overlays are ideal for structurally sound roofs without significant water damage or extensive wear. Existing materials include flat roof surfaces, which are commonly used in Tucson residential and commercial properties. Signs like minor material wear or aesthetic surface issues can indicate that a roof is a good candidate for an overlay.
