We live in Alexandria, Minnesota. We need to reroof. The existing roof is 23 years old, do we need to remove this first? Is a metal roof ok for this area of the country?

Your area of the country has many successful metal roof installations. Hire an experienced installer -- check references first, Get the manufacturer involved for their input if there are specific issues or concerns. Many of the metal roofs on this website can be installed over old shingles. Todd Miller

I own and operate a residential metal roofing company. Metal roofing is better suited to the harsh climate change we experience in minnesota every year. It will shed snow better and if you choose a light color it will reduce your cooling costs in the summer.
