Laying a second covering over a first is quicker and cheaper on the day, and it hides every problem underneath. A tear-off is the only way to see the decking, the valleys and the flashing, and the only way the manufacturer's written instructions can actually be followed. If your roof is already carrying two layers, a tear-off is not a preference, it is a requirement.
What a replacement includes
Tear-off and disposal
Every existing layer comes off and goes into a dumpster placed where it will not damage the drive.
Decking made good
Soft, split or rotted sheathing is replaced before anything is laid over it, and you are shown what came out.
Underlayment and ice barrier
Synthetic underlayment over the field, with ice and water barrier at the eaves, valleys and penetrations.
Flashing renewed, not reused
Step, chimney and valley flashing is replaced as part of the job rather than bent back into place.
Ventilation balanced
Air in low and air out high, judged as one system — a new covering over a loft that cannot breathe wears out early.
Cleanup and a magnet sweep
Debris cleared the same day and the ground swept with a rolling magnet before the crew leaves.
How long it takes
A typical borough house here is a one to two day job once the dumpster is on site. Steeper pitches, multiple layers and extensive deck replacement add time, and all three are visible at the inspection rather than discovered on the morning.

The inspection costs nothing and ends with photographs and a written condition report you keep.
