It is on the west side of South Texas, about 100 miles from the coast. Temperatures are 105 - 110+ in August and September.

With those factors, can gavalume sheets be screwed into the existing shingle layer or do the shingles need to be removed and/or put down furring strips?

This is a camp house, not my residence. So trying to keep a lid on repair costs, but not have the roof leak or blow off.

Thanks guys.



Not into it, THROUGH it, and all the way through the decking, too.
With only 1 layer of shingles, especially if they're 3 tabs, weight won't be an issue. The metal isn't enough added weight to matter.
