What is the best way to put on metal roofing?

Posted by admin
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?
