Frequently asked questions

Can a Wakefield roof be installed over an existing roof?

In many situations, a Wakefield metal roof can be installed over an existing roof, provided that the building structure and roof deck are in good condition. This method can sometimes eliminate the need to completely remove the old roofing material, which may reduce installation time and certain project costs. Metal roofing systems are relatively lightweight and can often be installed over existing structures when properly prepared. To learn more about metal roof installation options, visit Toitures Multi-Métal.

Before proceeding, a professional inspection is usually recommended to evaluate the roof structure, ventilation, and any possible damage. In some cases, removing the old roof may still be the best option to ensure optimal installation. A roofing specialist can determine the most appropriate solution to guarantee the durability, waterproofing, and long-term performance of a Wakefield roof.
