Layer-by-Layer Removal in Bloomington, IL
Two, sometimes three layers of shingles stacked up from years of roofing over old material instead of tearing it off first. It happens more than people expect. When it’s the case, the tear-off has to go one layer at a time. We strip each one down carefully, checking the structure as we go, so nothing gets missed before the new system goes on.
What Bloomington Winters and Summers Do
Heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams along the eaves every year. Hail in summer that’s strong enough to do real damage. Homes near Illinois State and the downtown historic district — especially anything built between 1970 and 2000 — tend to be the ones carrying two or three layers already. Local code says all of it comes off before a new roof goes on, and we handle the permit and layer verification with the city as part of the job.
Signs There’s More Than One Layer Under There
Granule loss, leaks that keep coming back, a roofline that looks like it’s sagging a little — that’s usually more than one layer hiding underneath. We start at the edges, work inward, lift each layer without tearing up the deck or the fasteners, and check for rot along the way. Leave it alone and moisture just keeps working into the attic. Damaged insulation, bigger bill, same story every time.
