Is it OK to install metal roofing over existing 30 yr. old metal roof?

All in all, though this isn't out of the question, I would remove the old roof. Todd Miller

Thanks. Even if you add purlins or 1x4 strapping onto the old roof before placing the new roof?

In that case, it would be more feasible if the roof you're installing can be installed over battens. Todd Miller
