Is it possible to put new shingles over an existing roof with shingles on it? I have an outdoor kitchen that I need to fix some roofing issues most notably I need to put stop a new drip edge and replace some of the fascia boards and while the roof is older it's still all right for the most part it just needs to have new shingles placed on it. My uncle told me that all I needed to do was buy shingles and lay them on top I just didn't know if that was possible and what I needed to avoid or try and do to make sure there were no issues. There appears to be a ridge cap vent in place and I don't know what I can do with that part. I also need to mention that I'm having a gentleman come and replace the corners of my roof where there is considerable rot so I'm not sure if that will cause me to have to remove everything and start over.

Had some storms today with wind blowing the rain a bit. This caused a drip in the garage. Cut a hole in the ceiling and found part of the wate . Very little, but enough to wet out some insulation and drip onto drywal. Made its exit through a nail hole in the drywall. I'm pretty sure it's coming from where some coax cables enter the room above. The wood around that hole is wet. Love people that drill through the side and shove it throug . The wide part thats supposed to help seal it came off pretty easy and somebody shoved a bunch of clear silicone in the hole. It is potentially coming from a raised shingle in the same spot. Pics attached. I'm trying to buy some time before we redo parts of the siding and paint the whole place. we don't use that cable as it runs from a satellite we don't use either. I'm thinking cut the coax, clean out the hole, dap sealant to fill the hole, prime and pain . Reseal around the window above it, prime and paint the trim which is wet. Also the vent further up is loose so reattach that properly. Use some roof sealant to seal where they ran screw into the shingle and to tack the lifted shingle down.
