What is the proper way to install metal roofing?

Friday, September 21st, 2007
iswaswill asked:

My neighbor installed her metal roofing on her new garage, 10′ from my house, using strapping that was nailed to the roof rafters with no plywood backer. Now the temperature changes make the stuff pop when the temperature increases or decreases and I get to listen to that. It sounds like somebody is remotely locking and unlocking a car door and louder! What can I do about it?

My roof and many of my neighbors have mold or mildew stains and I was wondering if there is a way to clean this off without damaging the shingles or my shrubs below.
