insurance: "I am installing a metal roof over existing shingles, one ..." - brenda boyle (6/18/2014) | Other

I am installing a metal roof over existing shingles, one layer and good decking. I was planning to use the fir strip method as I have family members who have done this and have great results. I was advised by a roofer that insurance requires the installation to be flat on the roof, whether over straight decking or over shingles and without purlins or stripping. I have never heard of this.

You probably should check with your insurance company but, no, I have not run into that.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 6/18/2014	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/19601/find/
That would be a first for me as well.	Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 6/19/2014	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/19602/find/
