Fabral Sheet Metal Frequently Asked Questions - Carports.com...
Since metal weighs only 1/3 as much as shingles, you can often attach metal panels without tearing off your existing shingle roof. This eliminates the cost and problems of disposing of the old shingles. The best way to do this is to attach 1" x 4" or 2" x 4" furring strips at 24" o/c parallel to the eave and ridge. Check local codes to determine if tearing off shingles is required in your area.
