Tear-off or overlay — which is right?
Tear-off, in nearly every case. An overlay puts a second layer over the first without anyone ever seeing the deck, and it costs you the three things that matter most:
- You never inspect the sheathing. Soft or rotted decking stays hidden under the new roof.
- Ice barrier cannot be installed correctly at the eaves, which is the detail that protects you from ice dam leaks.
- The new shingles run hotter and telegraph the old surface, and most manufacturers reduce warranty coverage on a layover.
The IRC limits you to two layers total, so an overlay also removes the option next time. The saving is real but small, and it is usually spent later on damage nobody could see.
What happens to the deck during a New Castle re-roof?
Once the old roof is off, the deck gets walked and inspected before anything goes back down. Older New Castle homes frequently have plank decking with gaps too wide to hold a nail reliably, or sections softened by a leak that ran for years.
Where that is the case we re-sheath in OSB over the planks to create a solid nailable surface. We photograph the deck before covering it, so you can see exactly what you paid for and so it is documented if a claim is involved.
Why does ventilation decide how long the roof lasts?
A roof fails from underneath as often as from above. Without balanced intake at the soffit and exhaust at the ridge, the attic runs hot in summer and cooks the shingles from below, and traps moisture in winter that condenses on the sheathing.
Balanced means both halves. Ridge vent alone, with blocked or painted-over soffit vents, pulls air from the house instead of from outside. We check intake before quoting exhaust, and it is also the root fix for ice dams — see how that connects.
