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.

How do you add roll roofing under shingle roofing?
I am not sure if this question is worded correctly. 1) To add rolled roofing under shingles is not a recommended method of installation. What will work is to install a layer of Ice & Water Protection such as Grace Ice & Water Shield prior to the installation of your shingles. 2) If you meant to ask about installing rolled roofing over your shingles or installing shingles over your rolled roofing this is once again not recommended but is commonly done. You would first make sure the surface is level and remove all loose debris from existing roofing materials and or dirt, leaves, etc.. Just a quick clean up and sweep should be good. Then if the existing roofing materials are leaking I would recommend you either remove them and do this installation properly or at least install a layer of underlayment such as a heavy 30# felt paper or RoofTop Guard II over the existing materials. Then install the new materials following the manufacturers specifications. Once again this is not the recommended procedure and will void all manufacturers warranties.

How to repair different types of roofing?
Roofing repairs are needed when a roof system is leaking, or the roof has been damaged in some way, such as a fallen tree or high winds. The type of roofing will dictate the materials and the method of repairs, so it is first necessary to determine which type of roofing is in place. Once the type of roofing has been established the materials can be purchased. There are typical procedures that are used for repairing different types of roofing.Wood shingles will dry out and crack over time and when this happens, the roof will leak. The repair can be accomplished by replacing a section of the roof or by repairing the leaky sections using aluminum shingles. Aluminum shingles can be slid under the wood shingles and will act as another surface to ship water. The holes can be spotted from below, in an attic area, and the daylight that seeps through will signify where the aluminum shingles need to be inserted. If the leak is confined to an area of damage, remove the damaged shingles and re-roof that area. Be sure to lace the new shingles into the existing to ensure the roofing system is continuous.Composition shingles cannot be patched in any way that will make a suitable repair. To repair a composition shingle roof, remove the damaged singles in an area larger than the actual damaged area, in order to allow for lacing into the old roofing. Be sure to apply two layers of felt roofing paper to the roof sheathing before installing the new composition shingles. The new shingles can be attached using staples or galvanized roofing nails.Spanish tiles and concrete tile roofing will break when hit by hard objects. When this happens it is necessary to remove and replace the damaged tiles. Be sure to extend the area of repair outward from the damaged section in order to ensure a suitable repair. In addition, it will be necessary to replace the heavy moisture barrier under the tiles. The area of the new barrier should overlap the existing moisture paper to ensure a good under-lay system. Roofing tiles are held in place using a single, galvanized nail that is made for the particular tile. A qualified salesperson will be able to recommend the correct nails to use for a particular type of tile. Do not walk on the new roofing tiles once they are in place, as this could cause them to crack, which will result in further repairs.
