So just how many roof layers are allowed and when should a roof be torn off? That questions is asked by homeowners every day. At Casey Roofing Inc. we want to give the homeowner the information needed so they can make an informed decision.
The short answer is this: Utah building code allows only 2 roof layers on a home. A third layer is not allowed and the roof will need to be stripped down after 2 layers.
We recommend tearing off the existing roof if there has ever been a history of leaking or if the first layer is in extremely poor condition. Covering up a problem will never result in the fixing of a problem.
What roofs are good candidates for a re-roof. We only recommend roofs that are fairly smooth and have never had a history of leaking.
