What is the best way to put on metal roofing?

sukcorb asked:
Is it best to put metal roofing on over old asbestos shingles(providing it’s less than three layers) or to tear off all the old shingles first? And does it hurt anything to tear off the shingles on one side and leave them on the other side and put the metal roof on?

Vanitha R asked:
The contractor who inspected says my whole roof needs replacement or second layer of roof required. The roof is not done right by the builder and shingles are worn out. How is it possible? Roof should last for 20 to 25 years. Do I need to check with the builder?

carlos r asked:
I am installing a metal roof and heard of many different ways of anchoring the R-panel to my existing roof. I have been told to install the screws on the low side of the R-Panel with self sealling screws. I have also been told to install the screws on the upper part of the ridge. The second option made some sense because why would you make a hole where all rain and snow would be running down. But the first option makes sense because it is a solid anchor, no gap, between the R-Panel and the wood underneath. PLEASE help me ,
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!

Will a solution of bleach kill moss on the roofing shingles of a house? If so how strong must it be?

The moss killer for houses and gardens stains the concrete and gravel pathways. So I hope to avoid using it.
