Preparing The Roof

Stone-Coated Metal Shingle Terminology
KBS Stone-Coated Steel Shingles can be installed over low-profile composition shingle, or over solid sheathing with a minimum type 30 felt underlayment.  If you choose to re-roof over lower profile composition shingles, the procedures are as follows:

1) Cut back existing shingles flush with the perimeter of the roof.
2) Remove existing drip edge.
3) Remove hip and ridge cap
4) Use a chalk line when installing the starter strip.  Do not depend on the roof edge to be straight or square.  Nail starter strip every 16" along the fascia line.

5) After installing the starter strip, install the 1½" x 1½" Two-Way Metal up the gable or rake ends, taking care to overlap the top of the starter strip.
6) Wrap the entire roof with Type 30# Felt.  Lay an additional layer up the valley, spacing it equally on both sides.
7) Install the Rake / Roof to Wall accessory piece up the rake or gable end on top of the Two-Way Metal, extending approximately 1" over the edge of the rake or gable end.
