Can new roofing shingles be put over cedar shake?
When asphalt shingles were first used, it was done all the time. The problem is that the shingles will not lay flat which give the roof an uneven appearance and makes them much easier to puncture by walking on them or with hail. No one does this anymore, strip off the cedar and put plywood or OSB over the space sheathing. More work and expense, but worth it in the long run.

When you install shingles over an old layer of shingles do you have to put down felt or do you put the new layer of shingles directly over the old layer?
With composition shingles, no felt is necessary between shingle layers. When the exposure of the shingles is the same as the old exposure, the bottom edge of the old shingles is used as a guide for the upper edge of the new shingles in placement. This ability to place the shingles would be lost if covered with felt.

Should you remove asphalt shingles before putting metal roof?
not necessary if they're in decent shape and you don't have a heavy multiple layer of old shingles underneath them.

What type of roofing materials should I use for my home?
You must First find out what color you want your new shingles to be. Those will be abailable at any Menards or Home Depot. You will also need Ice and Water Sheild to put down before you put your shingles down. When you have the measuremants of your roof, you can take that into your supply store to figure out how many bundles of shingles you will be needing, and how much ice & Water sheild. An Air compressor with a roofing gun and nails will be needed, and plenty of nails also. You will have to get proper ladders and saftey boards for yourself while you are working. The supplyer you get your materials from will let you know exactly what else to buy.
