You could TRY sliding new shingles under the edge of the old ones,
but if they're anywhere near the end of their life, they'll

best reason so it all matches.

say the existing shingles are 1/2 thru their life......

in not too many years you will be replacing shingles that arent that

go to sell your home and it will be a big hassle.
