Metal roof & shingles
I have a dormer on my house. It was shingled when I moved in but I think it is way too flat for shingles. Pitch is 1:12 I believe. After the bad winter I did get some leaks so I need to do something.
I was thinking I would like to do metal on this particular section. Does anyone know if I can do metal on one part and shingles on the rest of the house. How does the top cap work?
Thoughts?

You are right about that pitch. Minimum pitch is 3:12 for asphalt shingles. Not sure on the specifics for the metal roof, but I don't see why it couldn't be done. You just need good flashing between the shingles and metal.
