2. Roofing materials
• We have to understand the basic types of roofing before the
homeowner decide to install new roof or repairing old roof in
their home.
• First we have to understand the roofing materials and what
kinds of roof suits for your home.
• There are many types of
shingles(http://thelegendgs.com.au/types-of-shingles-
involved-in-roofing-process/) are available for your home and
choose the best shingles that suits your home.

3. • Asphalt composite shingles: Cheap and easily obtainable, but
less attractive than other options due to flat appearance.
• Wood Shake: Pricey but attractive shingle.
• Metal Roofing: Still rare, and few roofers know how to install
it well; special companies are required for this job.
• Slate Roofing: Highly attractive, and a high-end roofing
option; extremely slippery to walk on.
• Rubber Slate or Faux Slate: Recycled post-industrial synthetics
gaining in popularity.

5. Remove shingles or roof over them
• The weight issues are the main argument against laying
additional layers of asphalt shingles is that the roofing
materials can get too heavy for the underlying roof framing.
• This can be a structural problem, especially for older houses.
It is often said that a triple layer of asphalt shingles is equal to
a single layer of slate shingles an exceedingly heavy type of
material.
• One other problem with shingling over existing shingles is that
you are essentially repeating some of the surface irregularities
that may already be there.

6. • Putting new shingles over that doesn’t do much for the aesthetic
aspect.
• One way to minimize this problem is to go over the old roof and
correct as many problems as you can.
• It doesn’t take much more than a hammer, some roofing nails, and
a handful of shingles to correct the problem of bumps, gaps, and
protruding nails.
• Re-roofing –(http://www.slideshare.net/danielvhenny/helpful-
steps-in-reroofing-the-house)Stripping up off the existing layer and
then laying down the new layer adds more work to the process.

8. Best season for roofing
• If roofers only wanted for perfect conditions to install a roof,
they would go out of business. Extending work seasons helps
roofers and consumers alike.
• In most parts the optimal roofing season is from late spring to
early fall.
• Partially installed areas must be perfectly dry before any
covering layers are installed.

10. Basic process in roofing
• Remove all existing shingles, deposit them in a roll-off, and
remove.
• Make minor repairs on roof if in good condition. If not,
replace bad wood with plywood, whichever is applicable to
your roof.
• Install ice dam protection barrier of synthetic materials to
prevent backed up ice in the gutters which prevents ice-melt
from draining away.
• The ice-melt will permeate under the shingles and cause
damage to the inside of your house.

11. • Lay down asphalt paper.
• Apply the shingles - starting at the eaves and working upward.
• Apply flashing around all areas where leaks might come into
the house - against the chimney, stack vents, etc.
• Install the ridge vent.
