In this video I go over some of the basics of how to install a metal roof. Technically what we’re doing here is considered a Roof-over. There will possibly be more to the roof you are wanting to install than the one I’m showing today, this is just the basics. In the future we plan on make detailed videos on how to trim out various different roof types, And trims. You’ll have to find out what code is for your area. And/or your customer’s or personal preference if you can do a roof-over or not. In our state we normally go over old shingles with a metal roof system such as shown in the video, unless the customer desires a tear-off. we will have to make a separate video showing how to install standing seam roof-over.
Here are some of the tools we like to use, these can be found on amazon via the following links;

Right off-set snips:
