Change your damaged asphalt roof

Your asphalt roof may start to have problems over time. The asphalt cracks and the water seeps. These filtrations cause the wood of the structure to rot and disintegrate. The good news is that this can be fixed very easily by replacing the damaged asphalt pieces.

At US ROOFING Contractors located in Augusta-Georgia, Grovetown, North Augusta and Martinez, we give you the following text a small guide on how to change your damaged asphalt roof:

The first thing you should do is remove the existing roof. Place your ladder against one end of the roof. With a flat shovel and its claw scrape, lift and remove all the old asphalt. Use a broom to sweep any dirt residue from the ceiling.

To choose the roof to place you can call a professional contractor about your plans to replace your roof. Or look in a local store for the necessary materials and tools.


If you decide to do it yourself, place the roof membrane over the entire roof. Secure the membrane to the ceiling with roofing nails. Secure the drip edge to the ceiling. Place the cover on the roof membrane. Apply a primer on the cover sheet. You will need 1 gallon of primer for every 100 square feet of ceiling space. Place the felt on the ceiling. Apply the asphalt on the felt. Cover the asphalt with gravel. Take your container to a reliable dumping location. In any case, remember that it will always be better to hire a professional for these tasks.
