It was installed about 6 years ago directly over an asphalt shingle roof. No strapping was used. We now have a serious mould problem in a small attic area. Most of the roof is a sandwich type construction. Styrofoam insulation with venting design was used in the ceiling. There is no heat in the house during the winter. Can you suggest why this has occured and what is the best action to take at this time. The house is located on an Island in the 1000 Islands between Brockville and Gananoque. Thanks for any help you can give me. ....Bruce Hayes. I have a metal foof on a summer home. It was installed about 6 years ago directly over an asphalt shingle roof. No strapping was used.

Which do you recommend? No one down here seems to agree as to which is the better way of doing it. I have had several tell me that using 2x4's could cause me to lose the entire roof if a hurricane were to come thru. Others say that the screws tend to come loose if using 1x4's. I don't want to go back with shingles but I am at a complete loss as to which way to go with this. Thanks for any help you can give.
