Interesting that you have a double wife. Good luck with that. :-) It is not uncommon to have the situation you have where the two ridges must be joined. I would keep the ridge on the main roof continuous and miter the dormer ridge into it. Todd Miller

Is it ok to put metal roof over shingles on a trailer house? There is no felt, just shingles.

Girlie, as long as the manufacturer instructions for the new roof are followed, including meeting the minimum pitch and using the appropriate underlayment, you should be okay. If your home has little or no ventilation in the attic though you should discuss that with your metal roofing supplier. Todd Miller
