Roof Insulation

| Posted in Construction Techniques on

I have a low pitch roof over a den, and porch. Here in AZ it is on the warm side. My question: would like to install 6″ rigid foam, and reroof.
My question is: should i remove the existing roll roofing? or simply go over the existing roofing material?? The Fox.

    Just go over the existing, much better than starting from scratch, esp, if it isn't dripping .Wet. Or causing undue damage to the fixtures that are present.
