How do they match: Roofers

  • Apply gravel or pebbles over top layers of roofs, using rakes or stiff-bristled brooms.
  • Cement or nail flashing strips of metal or shingle over joints to make them watertight.
  • Cut felt, shingles, or strips of flashing to fit angles formed by walls, vents, or intersecting roof surfaces.
  • Glaze top layers to make a smooth finish or embed gravel in the bitumen for rough surfaces.
  • Install partially overlapping layers of material over roof insulation surfaces, using chalk lines, gauges on shingling hatchets, or lines on shingles.
  • Smooth rough spots to prepare surfaces for waterproofing, using hammers, chisels, or rubbing bricks.
  • Waterproof or damp-proof walls, floors, roofs, foundations, or basements by painting or spraying surfaces with waterproof coatings or by attaching waterproofing membranes to surfaces.

  • Apply paint to surfaces.
  • Smooth surfaces with abrasive materials or tools.
  • Spread sand, dirt or other loose materials onto surfaces.
