with vacuum

Steps/Procedure:

1. Always Check for a Level Nailing Surface


This can be done with a straight piece of lumber (6 feet to 10 feet long) or a long
carpenter’s level. Trusses or rafters should be shimmed as necessary to provide
a level nailing surface. If the top chords of trusses or rafters are warped or
bowed, install blocking to straighten.

2. Provide Roof Ventilation According to Building Codes

A minimum net free ventilation area of 960 square inches for each 1,000
square feet (1/150th) of the ceiling area is required. Net free ventilation area
may be reduced to a minimum of 480 square inches for each 1,000 square feet
(1/300th) when certain building code provisions are met (see Section R806.2 of
the 2012 International Residential Code or Section 1203.2 of the 2012
International Building Code for more details). Note that these are minimum
code requirements, which have been found to be adequate under most normal
circumstances

3. Fasten Roof Sheathing Panels Properly


Fasten panels with a minimum of 8d Common (0.131-inch by 2-1/2-inch) nails
spaced a maximum of 6 inches on center at supported panel ends and edges.
At intermediate supports, fasten panels 12 inches on center. In high-wind
areas, more fasteners may be required. Fasteners should be 3/8 inch from
panel ends and 3/8 inch from panel edge

4. Cover Roof Sheathing with Shingle Underlayment Felt


Unless otherwise recommended by the sheathing manufacturer, cover the
sheathing with shingle underlayment felt to minimize exposure to weather

5. Install Roof Shingles According to Manufacturer Recommendations

Shingle hints:

 If using asphalt or fiberglass shingles, postpone shingle installation as long as


possible. This will provide time for roof sheathing to adjust to humidity and
moisture conditions.

 For best appearance, use heavier weight shingles, or laminated or textured


shingles. This will mask surface imperfections and reduce the risk of shingle
ridging.
