How do they match: Roofers

  • Cement or nail flashing strips of metal or shingle over joints to make them watertight.
  • Apply plastic coatings, membranes, fiberglass, or felt over sloped roofs before applying shingles.
  • Apply reflective roof coatings, such as special paints or single-ply roofing sheets, to existing roofs to reduce solar heat absorption.
  • Cover exposed nailheads with roofing cement or caulking to prevent water leakage or rust.
  • 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 sealants or other protective coatings.
