Depending on the company that produces the shingles you purchase, it satisfies a transferable manufacturers warranty to cover the roof for either 25-30 years (most companies) or lifetime (if using GAF).If you're installing something like a metal roof, that comes in sheets, that can go on top of an existing roof to help with sound dampening, prevent leaks, and increase insulation.I hope this helps!

That, I would think, it better for you in either case.Boy, that would be nice, in Indiana, it just prevents them from entering the home and it sits as a big oozing mess on my property until the owner gets it done or I jump through all the legal hoops to get control of the title so I can get a permit to move and have a mover haul it off to the dump.
