metal roofing | Ask The Experts Forum | Metal Roofing Alliance

leon sikes 4/29/2015	I live in N.C. and will go to CO to install a roof on a house(daughter's) built in 1927. The roof now has 3 layers of shingles but for her to get insurance on it she has to have them removed. Not sure what i will find once i begin to take off. maybe have to re-sheet it. daughter would like a metal roof. I have done shingles many times but not metal. bought video about installing(put out by georgia metals) metal roofs and look sort of like doing tobacco barns ( done a few barns)so I think no problem. video uses the classic panels. the house looks in photo like a 2: 12 pitch. can anyone tell me where i can get metal in that area and would the classic panel work ok? i have only 9 days so need place to cut and get me metal in a week at least. thanks to anyone who can help!

leon sikes 5/1/2015	I will try and see if i can get a photo on here. Todd thinks for the info. i contacted them and they gave me names of distributors that sale classic ribs. I might have to find a contractor to put on the tin, if they can't get it cut before i have to leave. At least i can get the old shingle off and have it ready. that will save her a little anyhow.

Guest User 5/4/2015	sorry i can't get a photo but i sure its around 2/12. it looked in the photo that i did have (lost it) ..... can anyone give me the name of a contractor who i can get to install the metal roof. the house is around 900 sq ft. floor area.

Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 5/28/2015	Guest, it does depend a bit upon what sort of metal roof you're installing and how likely it is to transmit unevenness caused by the shingles. More textured metal roofing products are more forgiving. As far as the green stuff ... in my experience, it dies once it is sealed off from air and moisture. A layer of underlayment would need to be installed over the old shingles before the new roof is installed. Please understand that with two layers of existing, you will be outside of the International Building Code requirements if you install a third layer. You may technically be safe with a third layer but it will make it unlikely that you can pull a building permit for the installation.
