Chimney Caps questions, answered by experts

A metal roof will not make your house hot. In fact, metal roofs reflect heat, keeping your home cooler when the temperature outside rises. In addition to its reflectivity, metal also has a high thermal conductivity, so it gains and loses heat quickly. The sun may cause the metal to heat up, but the roof quickly transfers that heat back into the air around it rather than retaining it and transferring it into your home.

You can technically put new roof sheathing over old, but it isn’t recommended. Firstly, it isn’t hard to remove sheathing. Secondly, when you install new over old, you trap whatever moisture is in the older layer. This can cause problems later on, especially if you have a humid house. Another reason not to add new over old is the weight factor. Finally, when you cover an old layer, you lose the ability to inspect it for damage, rot, or mold.

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

Sticky shoes help, but you shouldn't be walking on the steel roof— let the pros do that. it's dangerous enough to walk on asphalt shingled roofs which have quite a bit of texture. Stone coating adds a lot of grip, but it still doesn't lock your foot down, so if you absolutely have to be on the roof, make sure you’re secured in another way, like with the harness and rope.

Metal roofs do not technically require a drip edge if the roof overhangs at least one inch, because the roof's slant will cause water to flow away from the structure. But a drip edge would be an added level of protection for a metal roof to help keep moisture issues at bay.
