remove the shingles, tyvek, and add fanfold(R 1.5). this is the proper way to do it.
If a contractor suggests going over them, find another.

you dont know how much time it consists of removing the shingles & desposing them, do you? I have done plenty of houses where the owner insists on doing so and it causes more harm then good.

Lawnmowers and rocks are no friend of Asbestos shingles.

Yes i do, it took me 12 hours to remove and bag my 1,000 sq ft house. A hack is a hack.
