I need to get a new roof and have someone who will do one. I think that it is too cold??? It is a two bedroom ranch with garage and a porch and breezeway. What temperatures are needed to have a roof be done well. I don't want brittle shingles that crack when they put in the nails or screws or whatever, etc. I am also wanting to strip the old roof that is 30 years old but not leaking. A couple of shingles have moved though. What do people think of stripping the old roof as I seem to think that might be better but get people on both sides.

I don't know much about roofs. What do I have to be careful of with the worker? Thanks for any help. He seems to know what he is talking about and this has been his trade he says. I certainly don't want to end up with a new roof that leaks. Thanks for any help.
