There are several different roof materials and roof systems, and each one has its own installation process. The first step for each one is safety. Your roofing professional should wear the appropriate safety gear, perform the work when the roof is dry, and follow manufacturers instructions.
A layer of starter shingles begins the installation process for asphalt shingles. Starter shingles are nailed about half an inch past the drip guard. They don’t have the same seams that asphalt shingles do, which helps keep water off the underlayment. Starter shingles should also be applied by eaves and joints. Then, it’s time to install the first course of shingles. This should be done by starting at the bottom of your roof and overlapping the shingles, working across.
A chalk line can be used to help keep the shingles straight. The shingles should lay so that the top layer of shingles covers the seams of the bottom layer. There should be at least 4 roofing nails per sheet and the nails need to be hammered straight down.
