Basic Instructions on Roofing Installation
- First, determine the type of roofing you want and then procure the metal roofing materials accordingly. Interlocking metal roofing systems, panels, metal shingles, etc., containing all the essentials are available at roofing supply companies, such as Metal Roofing Systems.
- Place the ladder firmly on the ground and attach it to the roof. Wear non-slip shoes while climbing the ladder.
- Remove existing roofing materials. The shingles can be easily loosened with chisel and hammer. Take them out and then replace with new ones or metal shingle systems.
- The entire roof base is then covered with a roofing paper, tacked in place with a wooden stapler.
- The perimeter of the roof is edged with the metal, which comes with the standard kit. The edging is nailed across the metal with a hammer.
- Now each panel is laid across the frame of the roof. The panels are overlapped with the next (2-3 inches) with a hammer. Spacing is approximately 1 foot.
- Steel/tin/aluminum snips are cut out according to the size of the panels and roofing dimensions. They are interlocked with the base of the roof.
- Trim kits and flashing materials are then installed over the panels for the shiny effect. This step completes the metal roofing installation process, usually followed by do-it-yourselfers who want to install a metal roof in the most cost effective way.
