The only reason I can't answer your question is that I've always done my own re-roofing!

However, both of us could have learned from my Winnipesaukee neighbor: Thirty years ago, when he thought it was time to re-roof, he just put new roofing materials over the old roof! (No removal of the old materials).

I thought that was highly unusual, but a NH roofer told me it's not at all unusual for old roofs to be left intact for re-roofing.
