Hello, I’m installing a metal roof over shingles on a newly built home. I was going to lay the metal directly on the shingles and push it up u see the existing flashing. There are two areas that I’m not sure what to do tho. Please help.

Also, for walls, I really encourage removing the siding and installing a new flashing up the wall, and re-installing the flashing.

What type of metal roof are you putting on? If its my home, I cut the siding back a bit to install a proper counter/apron detail that extends behind the siding and WRB (Weather resistant barrier) and over the top of the roof.
Have you spoken to a roofer yet?
