roofing help

[saf]

I have an older shed that has a leaky roof. I am not sure where to start. Should I be removing the old shingles or lay new shingles on top of the old? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have an older shed that has a leaky roof.
Take the shingles all off so you can check on all the wood there . Fix any that need be . Then put new felt and shingles down.

Ed,

So I shouldn't have to redo the whole roof? Just tear the shingles off the part where there is a water leak?

Thanks,

Scott

No do the whole roof at this time and be done with it. Not just a part

If your roof is old, a complete reroof sounds like a good idea. But have someone diagnose the leak or you might end up with a new roof which has the same leak. It happens thousands of times.
