How to Tear Off Roof Shingles & Prepare the Deck for Shingle Installation

This video describes how to tear shingles off a roof as well as when and how to replace roof decking and prepare the deck for shingle installation.

Before you start tearing off the old roof shingles, be sure to you have the materials and labor for the new roof all delivered, arranged and ready to install - you don’t want the roof deck to be left exposed after the tear-off.

Before installing any roofing materials, make sure that the roof deck is smooth, properly fastened to the roof trusses and free of any gaps or holes.

Be sure to remove all the old nails or hammer them down flush to the deck surface. Having a clean, flat deck surface will help ensure that the newly shingled roof will likewise appear smooth and flat when finished.

Replace rotted, damaged, or warped sheathing or delaminated plywood.
The deck should be applied in a staggered pattern bridged across roof rafters or roof trusses.

The deck must be dry for the job.

Parts of this video have been filmed in an indoor studio on a pre-fabricated deck. All safety guidelines outlined by Government Safety and Fall Protection standards must be followed at all times.
