RE-ROOFING DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Re-roofing over an old roofing system can save considerable time and labor. However, you must consider all options, including a complete tear-off of the old roofing system when necessary. Always consult a roofing design professional to discuss your options. It’s also important to contact an engineering professional to ensure the building and roof structure are not overloaded by adding new material or making alterations to the roofing system. Additional re-roofing considerations include:
»If wet or damaged insulation is present, it should always be removed and replaced during re-roofing.
»Always check local and state energy codes to determine whether it is necessary to add insulation to a roofing system to meet minimum LTTR values.
»Always consult local and state building code requirements to ensure the design of a new roof meets all requirements.
»Design with future use in mind, including the potential installation of solar energy systems or amenity space like roof gardens and paver systems.
