I'm looking to replace an old flat roof that has sheet metal below and is covered with tar and asphalt on the outside. Should I just cut out a section at a time and replace it using the same construction methods? Any tips or advice would be appreciated!

For a flat roof like yours, it's usually best to tackle it in sections, as you mentioned. Just make sure to remove the tar and asphalt carefully without damaging the underlying metal. Also, check for any water damage underneath before you start replacing pieces. If it's extensive, you might want to consider a full replacement instead of patching it up.
Good point about checking for water damage! It's easy to miss that until it's too late.
