Hi, I am removing the existing shingles and installing steel roofing. I plan to cover the plywood deck with 30# felt and strip it on 24 inch centers with 1 inch boards.I am stripping it because the existing plywood has some wavy areas due to a lot of rain when it was initially roofed 25 years ago.Can I put the steel over this or is there some kind of condensation/ mold problem ? I have talked to some and they say I am going to have to insulate between the strips, but if I don't strip it I can install the steel right over the 30# felt. I guess I don't see why there should be any difference.

How is the attic vented? Ventilation for condensation is handled from the attic side and not the above deck/roofing side. I would run synthetic underlayment in lieu of the felt and any condensation issues will be moot at that point.
