re: Roofing question

How old is the roof? Pulling the ridge shingles from an older roof will probably cause some damage to the normal shingles. Covering the old ridge shingles with new ridge shingles, the roofer needs to use longer nails to hold the shingles and there is a greater chance of wind damage to the new ridge shingles

Roof is 17 years old. Roofer says it has a good 7+ years left in it aside from some minor repairs.

I get the part about possibly damaging adjacent shingles if pulling off the old ridge caps, but I’m not understanding why using longer nails to go over the old caps makes the new ones more susceptible to wind damage...
