Should the old shingles be removed first before the metal goes down? I was told that the installer would put 1x4's and then the metal roofing is that correct?

Most products can be installed over old shingles, along with new underlayment. Some products can be installed up on battens. You would need to check with the manufacturer. Todd Miller

Thanks, Would it be better to remove old shingles, then new underlayment "50lbs. felt",then 1x4's, then new metal roof? I want to do it one time and right. Thanks.

Best to ask to see the product approval on the material selected as it will state how it has been tested and approved with limitations on the installation.
