For this roof we had to tearf off several layers of Shake roof and replace them with Architectural Shingles. When you have the right team with you, it can be just like a walk in the park. Let us walk you through this residential shingles roof replacement. You’ll see it for yourself! Don’t forget to check out the before and after photos.

1. First, we prepared the necessary tools and equipment, such as a hammer, roofing nails, a pry bar, a utility knife, and safety gear.
2. We started by removing the old shingles using the pry bar. We carefully lifted each shake layer and pulled out the nails that held it in place.
3. Once all the old shake layers were removed, we inspected the roof deck for any damage or rot. We completed small repairs before proceeding.
4. We then installed a layer of roofing felt, starting at the bottom edge of the roof and working our way up. We used roofing nails to secure the felt to the roof deck.
5. Next, we installed a layer of starter shingles along the bottom edge of the roof. We used roofing nails to secure them in place.
6. We then installed the first row of shingles, starting at the bottom edge of the roof and working our way up. We used four nails per shingle, placed about an inch above the cutout.
7. For subsequent rows, we staggered the shingle placement so that the cutouts didn’t line up with each other. This provided better protection against leaks.
8. We continued installing shingles in this manner until we reached the top of the roof.
9. At the ridge, we installed ridge shingles to provide a finished look and extra protection against leaks. We secured them with roofing nails.
10. Finally, we cleaned up the job site, disposing of any old shingles and debris, and double-checked our work to make sure everything was secure and in place.

And that’s it! With proper tools, materials, and safety precautions, tearing off and installing shingles can be a relatively straightforward process.
