Roofing Procedures &

Set an installation date and keep an eye on the weather forecast.
 

Tear Off ~ Pitch Fork, Shovel, City Dump ...

Removal of the old shingles is vitally important for the long lasting effectiveness of the new shingles.

 

Rotten ~ Plywood, Rafters, Sistering ...

Be prepared to find a rotten surprise if your roof has been leaking.

 

Re-Deck ~ Cool Ply, Rafter Straightening, Fascia Boards ...

Each type of decking is installed differently and should be planned accordingly.

 

Moisture Barrier ~ Felt Paper, Base Sheet, Adhesive Roll ...

The less felt a new roof has underneath the shingles the longer it will last.

 

Accuracy ~ Chalk Lines, Correct Distance, 30 Year ...

Straight lines are not just for looks, the roof will last longer if nailed on correctly.

 

Drip Edge ~ Metal Eaves, Fascia Protector ...

Aluminum or Baked-On-Enamel flashing used along the eaves and rakes to allow water run-off to drip clear of underlying construction.

 

Starters ~ Pre-Cut Starter, 3-tab, Modified ...

The edge of a roof should always be double thick and especially when using 3-tab shingles.

 

Chimneys ~ Masonry Saw, Metal Crickets, Chimney Caps ...

Brick chimney’s must be cut into with a masonry saw for the counter flashing to insert properly.

 

Valley Flashing ~ Line, Closed ...

Installing flashing where two roofs meet at an angle may reduce the chance a water leaks.

 

The most common leak problem is where the roof line meets a wood wall.
 

Jacks ~ Lead Jacks, Steel Vents, Water Heaters ...

Make sure you have the correct size for proper installation.

 

Use a combination of intake and outtake for best results.
 

Enhance the appearance of your new roof with thick 30 year shingles.
 

A uniformed roof looks better so we like to paint all of the roof stacks the same color as the shingle.
