Best wishes to you & keep-up the good work!
Here in Northern NJ, most towns no longer allow "go overs" in their building codes. In the past, you were allowed to do a go over as long as there was only 1 layer of shingles on the roof. Mine was redone about 20 years ago, and there were 2 layers of shingles on the 50+ year old home. Both these layers were removed and the sheathing underneath was in very good shape. It was shocking to see that the original shingles from 1941 were red and the 2nd layer was black. Went with light gray and they are still in good shape.
