Putting a Metal Roof Over Asphalt - Does It Work?
I'm considering upgrading my old asphalt roof to a more durable metal one. But I'm wondering, is it possible to install a metal roof directly over the asphalt?

I've heard mixed opinions and I'm trying to figure out if it's a viable option. I'm concerned about the additional weight on my house and the complexity of the installation. Also, I'm interested in whether this approach might be more cost-effective and less of a hassle than tearing off the old roof.

Has anyone here gone through this process or have any advice? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, whether good or bad.

Installing a metal roof over asphalt can be feasible but requires careful consideration. Ensure your roof structure can handle the weight. Consult with a roofing professional to assess costs and complexities for your specific situation..
