AboutTodd E. Miller Expertise I am available to answer any questions pertaining to residential (or other sloped) metal roofing. I have knowledge of most available products but I like to approach projects from a "needs" basis and analyze them individually. Additionally, I can answer most questions about building ventilation.
Experience I have worked for a manufacturer of residential metal roofing since 1980. I currently serve as President and have been involved with a wide variety of projects of all types across the world.
Organizations I am a board member for Metal Construction Association, Metal Roofing Alliance, the local United Way, our church, and our son's school.
Publications Over the years, I have had articles appear in several trade journals including RSI, Remodeling, and Qualified Remodeler.
Education/Credentials I have a B.A. in Communications and have also completed three years of training with the E-Myth Academy.
Question We've been told by some roofers that installing a metal roof over our shingled(over o.s.b.) roof wouldn't be a good idea, due to the o.s.b. sheathing. We're trying to find out what the reasoning is; the whys and what fors, if you will. Maybe it's because we live in the Fl. panhandle(hurricane issue?), we actually live a good 45 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Can you please help clear up our question? Thanks for your consideration!
Answer I, too, do not know what their reasoning is. If you can get details, please email them to me at todd@asktoddmiller.com
There may be things they see and know locally that I cannot possibly see from Ohio over the internet.
However, generally OSB is okay as a substrate perhaps it has not weakened or rotted in some way.
