Since I started this question, I have yet to complete the project. I am stil considering the possibilities and want it done right. I intend to have the roof in place for a long time. Hopefully this hurricane season will be merciful! I am now considering the addition of a layer of felt over the old decking. then I would add the new decking. Any comments on the repurcussions this would bring about? By the way - Still no leaks in sight. Would appreciate any suggestions. thanks for all of your feedback.

I am repairing my roof that was damaged in the Katrina Hurricane. (A tree went through a specific area) My questions is - If I re-roof the entire house (present decking is too thin - but does not leak), can I re-deck on top of the old decking and then re-shingle, or does the old decking need to come down? I specifically wonder about the area between t he two sheets of decking having some sort of moisture build up. Thank you MIchael
