Roll Roofing Installation


Roll roofing installation is something you may be able to handle on your own if you are handy with tools and have some home improvement experience. It takes about one day to complete if you have the right supplies and instructions. There are numerous supplies needed to install this type of roofing. You will need the roll roofing, drip edge, roofing cement, underlayment, chalk, utility knife, roofing nails, nail gun, hammer, ladder and any necessary safety equipment. Part of staying safe when doing roof work is having someone else with you when doing the work.

Roll roofing is an affordable roofing solution for anyone needing to replace their current shingle roofing. It is much faster and easier to install than shingles because it comes in roll form. It lasts up to twelve years and is often selected for its price and ease of installation. As mentioned before, you should have at least one assistant to help you install your own roofing. Single layer roofing is recommended for buildings like sheds and storage buildings, while double to triple layer roofing may be used on residential buildings.

When installing your roll roof, make sure you've measured several times before cutting or nailing. The rule of thumb with any home improvement project is measure twice, cut once. You should always have extra roll roofing available in case you do make a mistake. Read through the manufacturer's installation instructions at least once before even beginning to do the work. If you are using an optional underlayment, put it down first and secure it before installing the actual roofing. To seal the nails after securing them, use a layer of lap cement.

Roll roofing installation may be difficult if you've never done any kind of roofing work before or if you are not handy with tools. Luckily it is one of the least expensive types of roofing jobs to have a professional contractor handle for you and may be even cheaper if you have your own supplies. You may even be able to hire an all-purpose handyman company to come in and install the roof for even less than a roofing contractor would charge. Use your best judgment when deciding whether or not this project is something you can do or something best left to the pros.
