We have rec'd 2 estimates on installing a metal roof (ranch style home 4/12 pitch). The 1st guy told us we should "only" go with a 26 gauge (using McElroy Metal) and he'd install over existing 1 layer of asphalt shingles. The 2nd guy said 29 gauge (using Menard's metal)is very sturdy and he would rather do a tear off down to the decking to be sure the decking was in good shape. We have no idea now what we should do??? Please help. Thank you.

I would not install over top of those shingles.
You might as well pull them off.

I would agree and remove the shingle roof. However, I would prefer at least a 26 gauge system over a 29 gauge. In the midwest we have some heavy winds and 29 gauge is not much better than Reynolds Wrap.
McElroy Metal Inc. is a national manufature (www.mcelroymetal.com). I'm not sure on what manufacture Menards is carring.
