Installing a new roof over an existing assembly is not simply a cheaper version of removal. Existing condition, moisture, attachment, structural considerations, and applicable requirements affect whether recover is appropriate.
What to do next
Ask what investigation supports the recommendation and which conditions would rule it out. Compare the complete recover and tear-off scopes, including concealed-condition handling. Do not assume that covering the old roof resolves wet or damaged materials beneath it.
