Must replace asphalt shingles on 13 year old house.
Shingle company paid a warranty claim. Facts: 5/12 pitch, abt 27 squares, no valleys, rural, exposed to winds. Being quoted metal and asphalt.Insurance agent says he will reduce home ins. by $200/year if I use 50 year (class 4?)asphalt or metal.
Am leaning toward lower cost asphalt. Is there anything extra to put down besides standard roll black stuff under new asphalt for insulation qualities or ?? Will strip old one layer and old paper and start over. Double paper? Thin foam plastic?
I will probably sell in ten years and don't want the cost of making a roof so good that the next owner will never have to replace the roof as I suspect I will never get the cost back when I sell.
Thanks for reading. Leo
