The composition shingles on my 14 year old house need to be replaced. Is it
necessary to remove the old shingles first, or can the new ones be installed
over the old ones?


Thanks

Yes you can lay over old shingles but most people don't because of weight of
them on the roof and some people in the roofing business say it will damage the
new shingles in someway.

One ideal of this is the next time you recarpet you living room, lay the new
carpet over the old and would you like it done that a way ?
