Roofing Tools Required To Change A Roof

professional contractor to remove, install or maintain a roof~You can’t go wrong hiring a qualified professional for a roofing project}.  But with a little bit of time and knowledge, and often with the help of a few friends, replacing a roof is a realistic do it yourself project.  The key to doing it yourself rather than doing yourself in is the right roofing tools.  These tools can be found at the local hardware store~Look for these tools at a local hardware store}.

Nothing beats a slate cutter for cutting slate and shingles.  It goes through most roofing materials like a hot knife through butter.  For even the thickest shingles an industrial version slices them easily.  Some models have a punch to get them started, which also offers better control in the cutting process.

Instead of throwing the shingles to the ground, which requires a constant trek to the perilous edge, consider a ridge bucket.  These buckets are designed to hug the roof so they don’t slip even on a steep incline.  It’s safer and quicker to use a ridge bucket to dispose of materials.

Use a hip runner to install ridge cap and hip ridges perfectly straight every time.  Contractors use hip runners, so do it yourself roofers should take the hint.

Seaming pliers aren’t for sewing.  They’re for removing shingles, especially stubborn shingles that almost have a mind of their own intent on staying in place.  Seaming pliers have teeth to grip the shingle without tearing it.  Add a good pair of thick work gloves to save your fingers and hands from scrapes, bruises and blisters caused by gripping and pulling rough shingles.

What has a hammer head on one side and an ax and blade on the other?  No, not a movie hero’s weapon, it’s a slater’s hammer.  This roofing tool is for both for removing the old roof and installing the new roof.  It’s also useful as a regular hammer and with the ax and blade for other projects besides roofing.

Not only will most local hardware stores carry these tools, they’ll rent some of the larger ones such as a slate cutter.  This way a roofing novice can use the best quality tools rather than one that’s cheaper to purchase.  Knowledge is also a roofing tool, perhaps the most important of them.  Local hardware stores, as well as the Internet, are great sources of information on roofing and roofing tools.
