Roof Repair
Lay Roofing Felt: If necessary, install a new layer of roofing felt to provide an additional barrier against water. Overlap the edges and secure with nails.
Place New Shingles: Start at the bottom edge of the roof and work your way up. Align the new shingles with the previous ones, ensuring they overlap appropriately.
Nail Shingles: Secure each shingle with nails, typically placed just above the shingle tabs to avoid leaks. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for nail placement.
Install Flashing
Check Flashing: Replace or repair any flashing around chimneys, vents, or other roof penetrations. Flashing is crucial for preventing water from seeping into the roof structure.
Finish Up
Inspect Work: Ensure all shingles are properly aligned and securely fastened. Check for any gaps or misaligned shingles.
Clean Up: Remove any debris from the roof and yard. Make sure all old shingles and materials are disposed of properly.
