Protect your property by tearing off the roof. Protecting your home is the first step in any New Roof installation. Our vegetation and bushes are carefully covered with tarps to prevent damage from falling roof debris or to keep them out of reach. To ensure that your old roofing waste is appropriately contained, we employ an Equipter, a hydraulic bin that raises the roof’s height. Cleanup is a breeze with our strategy.
Using the Equipter dumpster, we remove your old roof and put the trash in the Equipter after it has been secured. Rotted sheathing can be removed and replaced. After the shingles have been removed, the exposed sheathing is carefully checked to determine if any damage has occurred and whether it needs to be repaired. Water damage is pervasive in the current sheathing. New Roof on a firm foundation if the old sheathing is removed and replaced.
Must put in the drip edge:
In a downpour, drip edges prevent horizontal rain from entering the roof system by guaranteeing efficient water shedding. Following local standards and the manufacturer’s guidelines, the drip edge will be 4″ apart.
Install the underlayment by following these simple steps:
A waterproofing barrier from Owens Corning, the Weather Lock Mat, is used by AKVM. Self-sealing and with a far better bonding ratio than the old-style felt used in older roofing applications, this material is ideal for modern roofing. After the installation is complete, be sure to notify your insurance provider. Weather Lock Mat’s outstanding performance protects against water damage if severe winds cause tiles to fly off the roof during a hurricane.
For insurance savings, you should use Owens Corning Weather Lock Mat on the deck. To get started, connect the starter strip. To ensure that the roof is sealed correctly, we’ll utilize an adhesive beginning strip to get the job started. Your property is protected from water intrusion thanks to the long-lasting glue on the reverse of the strip in New Roof.
Ascertain that all vent and pipe penetrations are correctly sealed as follows:
Sewage ventilation, bathroom or kitchen range ventilation using curve vents, and other factors play a role. Penetrations in all roofs allow air to enter the interior regions. Will apply a thick bead of roofing cement to each vent to ensure that no water will get between the shingle and the underlayment.
The shingles should be applied as follows:
