Roll roofing has a very similar composition to asphalt shingles, so you might not easily identify it as roll roofing when you come across it. It is an oil-surfaced asphalt product with a life expectancy of 5 to 8 years. Although similar to asphalt shingles, it wears out faster because it is thinner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ROLL ROOFING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1.

Measure The Roof<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Climb up the roof using your extension ladder. Measure the length and width of the roof and multiply the results to determine the number of rolls you need to buy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. Clean The Roof<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you currently have installed shingles, roll roofing can be laid out over them. However, it is best to avoid roof layovers for smooth installation. Once you\u2019ve taken out existing shingles, use a claw hammer to pull out and remove them. Proceed to clean the roof thoroughly with a push broom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remember to roll out the roofing materials on the ground to loosen some of the curls and flatten the material.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. Install Drip Edge<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A drip edge flashing is a metal nailed down around the edges of your roof to prevent water from sipping through your roofing materials. To install the roof edge, apply roofing cement around the bottom edge of the roof, then attach the drip edge flashing with the roofing nails.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5. Mark Up Your Working Area <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Using Your Measuring Tape And Chalk Line, Measure 35 Inches up from the bottom edge of the roof and run a chalk line from that edge to the other end.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">6. Cut Roll Roofing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use your utility knife to cut the roll roofing into portions that fit the roof.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">7. Lay The First Layer Of Rolled Roofing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lay out the first row of the roofing along the chalk line. Hammer and roofing nails down the roll to the roofing deck, 6-10 inches apart, about an inch from the edges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">8. Mark The Second Chalk Line And Repeat Until Done<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Measure a chalk line 32 inches rather than 35 from the top edge of the first layer so the edge of the second row will overlap the first row.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once all the rolls have been installed, seal the final top edge with cement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you\u2019re looking for an affordable material that\u2019s very easy to install as a DIY project, <a href=\"https:\/\/precisionroofinginc.com\/monroe-city-ny\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">rolled roofing<\/a> could work well for that workshed or garage.
