Why We Hand Nail
GOING A STEP FURTHER
When you are choosing a roofing contractor, picture this scenario: a roofer on a steep slope, in the blazing summer sun, holding a heavy nail gun, working as quickly as he can. His goal is to hit an inch-wide nailing strip, assuring the nail will be properly driven and not crooked – every time! This does not sound very likely, right? That is why we hand nail our roofs. Given the opportunity to choose between a hand-nailed roof and a roof that could be installed incorrectly with a nail gun for the same price, why not choose peace of mind and quality?
We have taken the time to list the main issues with using nail guns to emphasize the importance of our roofing method. The problem is, most of the issues do not make an appearance until after workmanship warranty has expired, and then there is the chance of invalidating your warranty with the shingle manufacturer. Contact us today to learn more about our process or for free estimate on our next roof installation.
We proudly offer hand nailed roof in, and surrounding areas. Contact us today for more information or to schedule a free estimate!
OVER-DRIVEN NAILS
SIDE-DRIVEN NAILS
A side-driven nail leaves part of the nail head sticking up, creating several problems. The sharp edge of the nail can cut a hole in the top shingle above and tear the shingle below. This can create a hole in the top shingle and cause leaks. The nail head can also lift the single edge just enough to allow wind-blown rain to get under the shingle and cause leaks. Because a crooked nail can tear a shingle, it makes it more likely to blow off in high wind.
