Hey all, I have a barn I inherited with a metal roof on it, laid directly over the old shingle roof they didn’t strip. Any see any concerns with pulling the metal roof off, insulating with a few inches of foam board and then putting the metal roof back on top?

Just spray a couple of inches of closed cell foam to the underside of the roof boards??

I hope your saying pulling the old metal and shingle roof then insulating!Originally Posted by downeaster
Clear it all, install new roof (Metal is great roofing) and spray foam the roof rafters from inside.
