Can I re-roof or retro-fit over my existing roof?

If your building has a single roof and your roof is in good condition, you have the option to re-roof the existing roof rather than tear it off and install a new one. A commercial roof with shingles, metal, or a protective industrial membrane can be gone over with a second layer of the material directly on top of the existing roof. This option has substantial cost savings in regard to labor and disposal fees.
