Buyers Guide To Roofing Tools & Supplies
Roofs are an essential part in a house, office or any construction. In Arizona, roofs are exposed daily to sun, rain, air conditioning and other factors that causes them to wear out. The solar UV radiation is higher, and the roof is subjected to high heat and to thermal shock due to sudden cooling during summer rains. That is why the check-ups, that must done once before the season with the most severe weather and once after, are necessary and, occasionally, a maintenance to lengthen their life. These continuous inspections will make it easier to notice when it is a roof maintenance time and you could have time to prepare for that.
How To Know It Is Time Of A Roof Maintenance?
Some people think that the lack of any active or visible leaks means that their roof is good enough… they are not always right.
You know It is time to start preparing to do roof maintenance or replacement, when it shows signs of wear and tear. The major indicators of are the following ones:
- When shingles or tiles are moved out of place: It leaves underlayment exposed to the extreme weathers, so this will lead to wood damage, and further roof damage.
- Discoloration: If you start to see that your roof have streaks, or takes on a different color.
- Saggy roof: Rotten framing, sheathing, or decking can result in a sinking roof.
Roofing Tools That Every Roofer Needs:
All Scottsdale roofers requires certain tools just to get out of the gate. These 5 roofing tools are very important, though this is far from a complete list.
Roofing Nailer: You can get them in several different sizes that accommodate several different nail lengths. They come in handy also if you need to shoot some ring shank nails to put down plywood. This is the primary tool that makes you a roofer, but you need to make sure that you have enough of the accessories required to keep it fully operational.
Roofing Hammer: It will help you remove misplaced tiles, clean the work area and tap down nails on final inspection. When you go to buy a roofing hammer you will notice there are several different hammer shapes that all go under the heading of roofing hammer. It has a variety of looks, but all of them are standard with different types of roofing to choose from. Some look like a hatchet like the Shingler’s with replaceable guage or the Carpenter’s Shock Reduction Grip and the Carpenter’s Leather Grip, others look like a regular hammer with one of the claws missing. This is the hand tool that you will most often need to go along with your nailer. The most used is the shingler’s hammer, recommended because it has a fully polished head and handle neck, molded on nylon vinyl grip and a retractable cutting blade, perfect for a roofing work.
Hammer Tracker: This roofing tool let you staple your paper with the same quick motion that you nail the tiles down keeping your crew productive and using techniques familiar to them.
And finally in the list, but not less important, a ladder. You are not going anywhere without a ladder. We recommend an adjustable two fold and three fold ladders, they are very durable, sturdy and can be compacted to a size that fits easily in any vehicle for transportation.
