Manitoba | looking for some advice from those who have done this. we have an old barn that lost a lot of shingles this summer and If we want to keep it in good shape have to reroof it. priced having it done but think we can tackle this ourselves without too much trouble if we get going before winter arrives. thinking of doing it ourselves and going with metal roofing vs shingles which it has now. then continue on in future with metal siding instead of having to paint regularly. some questions.
how heavy a guage metal should we use
any suggestions on profile types? are some better than others?
wondering about the gambrel roof and how to go about the seams where angles change
is this doable over the shingles? barn is plywood under the shingles. do we get rid of shingles and apply metal roofing, if leaving shingles do we have to apply strapping (wooden strips)
basically looking to get some feedback from others who have done it before. weve done a lot of construction type stuff in the past just not metal roofing.
thanks
