HOME Page - Roofing for Amateurs

Hello and welcome to the "Roofing for Amateurs Site"! Figuring Materials & Other Needs talks to the materials and tools you will need to start the job. Getting Started helps you with the preparation steps that you will need to perform. One of the crucial steps is Layout and Starting a Surface and what you need to know is contained in this text. Completing a Surface is the general steps you will need to follow to complete each of the surfaces on your roof. Surface by definition is an area you will be re-shingling. For example if you are doing a plain rancher than there are two surfaces the front surface and the back surface. Continuing Rows talks about how to finish off each row. Installing the Cap explains how to prepare the cap of the roof and finish it off. Finally Clean Up & Thanksgiving speaks about the clean up portion of the job and thanking your workers.
