The process of installation
Asphalt
shingles are subject to wear and tear. The granules rub off, making the
shingles more vulnerable to sunlight. Shingles can also be damaged by water.
Sometimes the damage is localized, and can be fixed by replacing only a few
shingles. Other times, there is deterioration over the whole roof. This is when
you need a roof installer to replace the whole thing.
The
first step in the process is the removal of the old shingles. This not only
gets rid of degraded roofing material, but exposes the structure of the deck
underneath, revealing damage or mildew. All the shingle nails are taken out so
that the new roof can be laid on a flat surface. A good roof installer will remove
and dispose of all old roofing material without leaving any debris lying
around. Poor ventilation can lead to overheated air or trapped moisture in the
attic, which can damage the roof. The roof installer should fix ventilation
problems. Before the new shingles are put in place, a water shield will be laid
over the deck. Then the new shingles are laid down so as to minimize the number
of exposed nail heads. The whole
process should take one to three days.
