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.
Do you think a shingled roof or a metal roof would be more energy efficient?
Shingles are more energy efficient than metal roofing. Metal roofing has no insulating properties so you would need extra insulation to make up for it. Plus they get hotter in the Summer.
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. I left my old roofing intact when I put concrete tiles on about 15 years ago thinking the old roofing would just give me another line of defense against leaks and time has proved me right. no leaks- no problems!
