I need to have new shingles on my roof. There are two layers of three
tab shingles on there now. The roofer indicates that he will remove
one layer and then reshingle. Don't I need both layers removed. The
cost can't be that much more to remove the second layer. I have a
simple 1200 sq ft ranch 40 years old. What are the thoughts?


The only reason I can think of is to save disposal cost and it might even
take more labor to avoid damaging the lower layer (impossible to say without
seeing and touching). You need to get this guy to elaborate his reasoning
and get a second opinion (from a real contractor not us hacks on Usenet).

Did you indicate a budget that he was trying to stay under?
