Abstract
Two options can be considered when a new roof is needed on an existing building: completely remove and replace all existing roofing materials (replacement), or install a new one over the existing roof (re-cover). To determine the appropriate option, and evaluation of existing condition is needed-together with a review of the roof structure and applicable building codes.
