Replacing Asphalt Shingles Over Wood Shingles

Name: fred  City: oklahoma city

Question: i had some wind damage which had many of my asphalt shingles flapping in the wind and broke several of them totally off of the roof. the insurance person who looked at the roof said that this could be repaired, however, i have had 6 different roofing companies come out to give an estimate, every single one of them said that trying to replace asphalt shingles that are over wood shingles is a bad idea, moreover it cant be done. so i am just trying to figure out who is lying to me. thanks
