Howdy Al,
Your current shingle layer is not that old. Curling at this stage is most
likely caused by the attic not being sufficiently ventilated. You could
install some vents and that might slow any further deterioration. If the
curling isn't too bad
Our house (raised ranch) was built in 1975. We had a new
roof put on in 1998. At that time there was only one layer
of existing shingles and the contractor felt there would be
no problem in just putting a new layer of standard 20-25
year asphalt shingles. This Spring, my wife said the
shingles
I most cases a over lay isn't covered.

Al,
From what I remember reading here on this list, curling shingles are often
a result of excess heat. A second layer of shingles is more suseptible to
this. Also, if your crawl space isn't properly vented, this can happen.
You can always give your insurance agent a call, can't hurt.
--
the house or garage have roof vents.
I'll be correcting that when I re-roof them.

Like RJ, I see no value in adding a layer of roofing felt. I believe he has it

I concur with RJ!
Your new shingles will not last nearly as long laid over old ones, the wind
is more likely to remove them, the heat to distort and accelerate their
failure and you won't have the opportunity to inspect the decking

I'm getting ready to sell my house. I don't want to do something that will
be a problem for the new owners but also don't want to spend extra money.
The shingles on the house are still
in the bundle and serve no
other purpose. While it doesn't probably do any harm to remove them there is no
benefit in it.

Well here is the thing,
You shingle the roof and add that to your asking price or you leave it still
in reasonable dry condition and accept that bit less for the sale.
By the way, you do not remove the plastic strips from
