Insulating Roof From Outside

54fighting · 08-10-2021, 11:56 AM

I have an older home that I want to renovate. I’d like to keep the bulk of the ceiling, with its beams and beadboard intact. So, I am contemplating insulating the roof from the outside. I realize this is not a novel concept and that it essentially calls for building a roof over the existing roof (after stripping the existing roof tiles).

Has anyone done this? If so, is there anyone you would recommend to do it? It seems like this would be a specialty that combines roofing and insulation expertise.
