To start this DIY project, you might need the equipment like gloves, eye protection, knee pads, plastic wrap, plastic roofing cement with gun, measuring tape, staple gun, hammer, roofing nails, razor blade, air compressor with hose and roofing paper. The first step of the process is removing the existing shingles carefully so that the siding doesn’t get damaged.
After removing the shingles, take a broom and clean the roof thoroughly. The next step is installation of roof felt, for this take the measurements from the end of roof to house. After measuring, start cutting the felt using two straight pieces of wood. This step is followed by the stapling of felt to the substrate with the help of staple gun. Make sure the felt is adhered well to the substrate.
The next step is to layer down the shingles. For this use three tiered standard shingle. In first row of shingles place the shingle upside down and tack it into position and then place another shingle on its top.
