Central Michigan is known for having cold winters, but many people overlook how much the temperature can skyrocket in the summer. This feeling is noticeable inside, with hot rooms and overworked AC units.  Contractors and homeowners can consider cool metal roofing as a superior choice to keep their home cool when temperatures rise, while keeping their energy bills low. 

More homeowners in Michigan are starting to realize the benefits and value of metal roofing.  One common question many of them have is how to replace an existing roof that has shingles on it. Can you put a metal roof over shingles? The short answer is yes, but there are several factors to consider. The longer answer depends on your roof’s condition, local building codes, and whether the pros outweigh the cons for your specific home.
