reboard the roof leaving the old felt on

[tomaz64]

old felt roof on a garage extension is knackered the roofer that came to examine the felt roof didnt do epdm but measured job up for me and states he knows someone that does this work .Anyway been offered to have epdm replacement when asked about job involved he states
"what he does is reboard the roof leaving the old felt on for a better finish then applies the rubber to the roof" any advice on this ?
Many thanks

If the roof is knackered as you say, then its best to strip it back to the joists and re-board.

A good roofer will never overlay.
