Hello,
Since re-roofing my parents’ house including the garage with Berlin profile tiles (roof tiles are not an option) is too expensive for them (260 sqm (2,800 sq ft) for 30,000 euros), my father wants to renovate the garage himself because it’s still a manageable size (about 50 sqm (540 sq ft)).
Currently, Eternit wave 5 sheets are installed directly on the rafters, which are spaced about 50 cm (20 inches) apart. Inside the garage, the ceiling consists of drywall panels.
We thought: if it has lasted 30 years, it can’t be that bad.
So we would simply replace the Eternit sheets again, directly on the rafters, and swap the drywall panels inside for Fermacell boards.
In other words: Eternit sheet -> rafters -> Fermacell board.
A roofer would of course handle this more professionally, using counter battens, battens, and a underlay membrane. Honestly, I don’t know if we could manage that ourselves.
Therefore, we would just replace it one to one.
Alternatively, you could also use trapezoidal metal sheets with fleece, but I don’t know if that would be possible without a substructure. Also, it would look different compared to the house’s roof.
What do you think? A completely foolish idea or a cost-effective way to renovate?

You can also use sandwich panels, about €30 per sqm (around $32 per sq ft), and they are also available in various colors. I would not want to use fiber cement sheets.We only considered fiber cement sheets because they need to go back on the roof, as tiles are too heavy. I will take a closer look, thanks.M

Do you even see the house roof and the garage roof together? (Usually, garage roofs slope backward, so they are not visible from above anyway.)
At the sides, verge flashings are installed, and these are always available to match the roof type.
