Re-roof Nailing
Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
Re-roofing is an opportunity to retrofit your home to prevent wind and water damage. After removing the old roof covering, improve the connection of the sheathing to the framing by adding more nails or screws. Check local building codes for spacing. (It can vary from 4 to 8 inches on center.) Seal the sheathing seams with a self-adhesive membrane. Finish with a new roof cover.
