We covered our barn in sheet steel a couple years ago. 48x96, hired it done, about $7k. But only one layer of shingles. Yes, contractor hauled in two loads of 2x4s and nailed them on over the existing shingles, but I was always told if a building has 3 layers of covering on the roof, it's too much weight to add a 4th, so you need to get up there with a potato fork and rip 'em all off and start clean. (What a mess! We did it on the house.)

So, if you think it's worth it, I don't think $7k is that bad a price if your barn is as big as ours. Don't know what to make of that silo through the lower roof, though. Probably lots of fancy cutting and then sealing it up with blackjack (tar).
