Step-by-Step Guide to Roof Installation with CertainTeed Landmark Shingles

Installing a new roof is a significant investment in your home. Using CertainTeed Landmark shingles for your Winnipeg residence not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also ensures durability against the elements. This guide will walk you through the roof installation process using CertainTeed Landmark shingles.

Preparation of the Roof Deck

Before installing new shingles, it’s crucial to prepare the roof deck properly. Remove all existing shingles, nails, and debris. Check for any signs of rot or damage and repair as necessary to ensure a solid foundation for your new shingles.

Installing Underlayment and Starter Shingles

The next step is to lay down a high-quality underlayment to provide an extra layer of protection from water penetration. Following the underlayment, install starter shingles along the edges of the roof to help prevent wind uplift and provide a clean look.

Aligning and Nailing the Shingles

Begin at the bottom of the roof and work your way up, ensuring each shingle is properly aligned according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Use the appropriate number of nails per shingle, as specified by CertainTeed, to secure them into place.

Finishing Touches

Install ridge and hip shingles to cover the roof’s peak and edges. These provide both functional weather protection and a visually pleasing finish. Make sure all flashings around chimneys, vents, and other roof protrusions are securely installed and sealed.

Conclusion

Following these steps ensures that your CertainTeed Landmark shingle roof is installed professionally and effectively. With proper installation, your new roof will provide superior protection and style for years to come.
