Roof over roof systems, or retrofit roofing systems, allow building owners to replace their existing roof without the hassle or cost of removing the original roof first. Consequently, roof over roof systems can be a cost-effective option for building owners who want the rewards and benefits of metal roofing while potentially saving some of the expense associated with roofing removal and disposal.
Roof over roof systems can be used to add a metal roof over an existing metal roof, an existing shingles roof, or to convert an existing flat roof into an attractive steep slope roof. While metal roof over roof systems are not the only options available, based on our expertise, our focus will be on this product family. .
