Asphalt shingles are a vapor barrier if you are concerned. Most metal has ridges which allow for any condensation to run down the roof and drain off.

I did it to my house about 10 years ago; put metal over built up asphalt roll roofing (pitch was only 2-12; too shallow for normal shingles; but roll was made from the same material) and was one of the best things I ever did.

Your dealer can probably get it for you in the length you want so you only need one sheet per side to cover the entire ridge to eave distance.

Be sure and use the special metal to wood screws that your metal supplier stocks. They have a 1/4" hex drive, sealing washer, and neoprene gasket; sharp pointed, not metal self tapping type.

Do it!
