Roof Restoration Use your chainsaw in cutting the parts of the trees. Check each cut before making it to determine where the limb or piece of tree will fall. Further the damage to the roof must not be tolerated. Once the tree is removed, spread a thick plastic tarp over the damaged area and secure it in place with nails or large staples. Further damage to the roof can be lessen by this.

Inspect the area of damage. In your first attempt of checking the roof, you must know the extent of the damage in the area. New plywood sheets will be used in covering the surface under the roofing material. Make sure that every edge of the material under the roof is marked with a chalk.

Eliminate the materials that were damaged. Extreme damage to the roof may cause you to replace all of the sheet. Minimal repairs or minimal plywood replacement must be done if only one edge is damaged. Using this as your guide, remove all shingles and black tar paper from the area.

Every section of the plywood to be cut must be marked. Determine the length of the next rafter and sign the focal point of it. Use a square to mark a straight line the full width of the board. Make it sure that when you cut the plywood using the chainsaw, you cut through the straight line. When completed half the rafter should be exposed to allow you to secure the new plywood in place.

Replace all full sections of plywood first, then measure and cut all partial pieces. Nail each section to their right place. With the plywood base in place, roll out black tar paper and nail it to the plywood.

New asphalt shingle must be put for the completion of the repairs. The reparation?s last stage is the installation of new roof shingles. The lowest are will be filled first with new shingles. To form a water tight seal, overlapping of the new and old shingles is encouraged. If there are any partial singles, remove them and change with a new full one. Use a ladder in getting to your roof. Secure the overlapping of the new and old shingles to prevent water leaks.

Safety Tips Before finishing, examine your attic for water leaks and fix it. Wet insulation will need to be replaced and this may be easier to accomplish while a section of the roof is removed.

Be certain to wear eye and hearing protection when using the chainsaw and skill saw.
