Would not recommend do to the weight and unevenness of the metal roofing material also the potential for leaks
Corrugated Iron.
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.
To put on shingles properly, start at the bottom edge of the roof and work your way up, overlapping each row of shingles to prevent leaks. Nail the shingles in place according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure they are secure and aligned. Trim any excess shingles as needed and use roofing cement to seal any gaps or edges.
Copper shingles can be found in Home Depot or any other home improvement store. You can look and feel what the shingles will look like and if you want to put them on your house.
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.
You can but it is not recommended. The old roofing sheets will promote corrosion under the new sheets. Far better to remove the old corrugated roofing first.
Strip off the old roofing and decking and replace it with thicker plywood, then apply the asphalt paper and re-shingle.
To "hold down" loose shingles, metal roofing, loose boards, particle board, plywood, plastic sheeting, tarps, etc.
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!
Yes, felt paper, also known as roofing underlayment, should be installed under shingles on your roof. It serves as a moisture barrier, protecting the roof deck from water infiltration and providing an additional layer of insulation. Felt paper also helps prevent damage from ice dams and improves the overall durability of the roofing system. While some roofing materials may not require it, using felt paper is generally recommended for better long-term performance.
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.
I assume your talking about Roofing? It takes me one box for 20- 25 squares of shingles. (Thats if you put the nails where they go, and dont leave any out)!
