Starter strip: The starter strip may be either a row of non -laminated shingles trimmed to the
shingle manufacturer's recommendations or a strip of mineral -surfaced roll roofing
not less than 7 inches wide. Starter strip and shingles shall overhang the eaves by
Y to
If self-sealing shingles are used for the starter strip, remove the tab portion of each
shingle and position the remaining strip with the factory -applied adhesive face up
along the eaves. Trim material from the end of the first shingle in the starter strip
according to manufacturer's specifications to ensure that the cutouts of the first
course of shingles are not placed over the starter strip joints. Fasten starter strips
parallel to the eaves along a line above the eave line according to manufacturer's
specifications. Position fasteners to insure they will not be exposed under the
cutouts in the first course.
If shingles without a self-sealing strip are applied, the tabs shall be removed and
ASTM D 4586 flashing cement shall be applied in spots approximately the size of a
quarter at the corner of each tab of the first course. Starter shingles shall be nailed
along a line not greater than 4" above the eave line nailing not greater than 6" o.c..
Trim at least three inches from the end of the first shingle to ensure that the cutouts
of the first course are not placed over the starter strip joints.
If roll roofing is used for the starter strip, nail along a line not greater than 4" above
the eave line nailing not greater than 12 o.c. ASTM D 4586 flashing cement shall
be applied. as noted above for non sealing shingle starter. 1f more than one piece of
roll roofing must be used, the end joint shall be butted. Joints shall be staggered
with succeeding shingle joints. Number of starter joints shall be kept to a minimum.
First and Succeeding
Courses: Be sure the first course is laid straight, checking it regularly during application
against a horizontal chalk line. A few vertical chalk lines aligned with the ends of
shingles in the first course will ensure proper alignment of cutouts. A shingle
hatchet is an acceptable alternative to the use of succeeding chalk lines. If starter
used does not provide a 'seal strip, bond the tabs of each shingle in the first course
to the starter strip by placing a spot of ASTM D 4586 flashing cement about the size
of a quarter on the starter strip beneath each tab if a non self sealing starter is used.
,Avoid excessive use of the cement, as it may cause blistering.
The first course starts with a full shingle, while succeeding courses start with 4, 5, or
6 inches removed relative to the preceding course, or as approved by the
manufacturer. Rake and valley courses shall be terminated with tabs not less than
12" wide.

To obtain the correct exposure for square -tab strip shingles, align the butts with the
top of the cutouts in the course below. Install no -cutout shingles and those with
variable butt lines according to the manufacturer's directions to obtain correct
exposure.
Manufacturer's label states additional installation requirements for this
product. Follow manufacturer's instructions concerning shingle alignment.
See'Expose and Course Layout' - Detail 'A' attached.
Fastening: Use six nails or approved fasteners per shingle. Fasteners shall be minimum 12 ga.
x I'/," galvanized roofing nails, or other fasteners with Dade County Component
Approval. Place the fasteners according to fastener Detail'13% attached. Align the
shingles properly to avoid exposing fasteners in the course below. Fasteners shall
penetrate through the sheathing or wood plank a minimum of/„" or penetrate a I"
or greater thickness of lumber a minimum of I ". Drive tlle fasteners straight and do
not break the shingle surface with the fastener head. Do not drive fasteners into
knot holes or cracks in the roof deck. Repair faulty fastening immediately. If
fastener does not penetrate the deck properly, remove the fastener and repair the
hole in the shingle with ASTM D 4586 flashing cement or replace the entire shingle.
Do not nail into or above factory -applied adhesives. Ensure no cutout or end joint is
less than 2 inches from a nail in an underlying course. Start nailing from the end
nearest the shingle just laid and proceed across. Do not attempt to re -align a shingle
by shifting the free end after two nails are in place. Drive nails straight so that the
edge of the nail head does not cut into tite shingle. Nail heads should be driven
flush with the shingle surface. Fasteners shall not be overdriven.
Note: Manufacturer's label states additional installation requirements for this
product. Follow manufacturer's instructions concerning fastener alignment.
SeeFastening Pattern and Physical Dimensions - Detail "B" attached.
Flashing: Roof planes that butt against vertical walls shall be step flashed with 10" long metal
shingles which are 2" wider than the exposed face of the roofing shingles. Place the
first flashing unit over the end of the starter strip and position it so that the tab of the
end shingle in the first course covers it completely. Secure the horizontal arm to_the
roof with two approved roofing nails. Do not nail flashing to the wall; settling of the
roof could damage the seal. Apply the first course of shingles up to the wall.
Position the second step flashing strip over the end shingle in the first course 5
ipches up from the butt so that the tab of the end shingle in the second course covers
it completely. Fasten the horizontal arm to the roof. The second course of shingles
follows, the end is flashed as in the preceding courses and so on to the top of the
intersection. Bring siding or other wall treatment down over the vertical sections of
the step flashing to serve as cap flashing. Wall treatment or cap flashing shall
terminate a minimum of Y above the roof line.

Vertical sidewalls shall be flashed. Apply shingles up the roof until a course must
be trimmed to fit at the base of the vertical wall. Adjust the exposure slightly in the
previous two courses so that the'last course is at least 8 inches wide. Apply a
continuous piece of metal flashing over the last course of shingles by embedding it
in approved flashing cement and nailing it to the roof. The metal flashing strip shall
be bent to extend at least 5 inches up the vertical wall and at least 4 inches onto the
last shingle course. Do not nail the strip to the wall. Apply an additional row of
shingles over the metal flashing strip, trimmed to the width of the strip. Bring siding
down over the vertical flashing to serve as cap flashing. Wall treatment or cap
flashing shall terminate a minimum of 3" above the roof line. Do not nail siding into
the vertical flashing. If the vertical front wall meets a sidewall, as in dormer
construction, cut flashing so that it extends at least 7 inches around the corner.
Continue up the sidewall with step flashing as detailed above.
Soil Stacks and
Vent Pipes: Apply shingles up to the vent pipe. Cut a hole in a shingle to go over the pipe and
set the shingle in ASTM D 4586 flashing cement. A preformed flashing flange that
fits snugly over the pipe is then placed over the shingle and vent pipe and set in
approved flashing cement. Place the flange over the pipe to lay flat on the roof.
After the flashing is in place, resume shingle application. Cut shingles in successive
courses to fit around the pipe and embed them in approved flashing cement where
they overlap the flange. Avoid excessive use of cement as it may cause blistering.
Do not drive fasteners close to the pipe. The lower part of the flange shall overlap
the lower shingles and the side and upper shingles shall overlap the Flange.
For ventilator and exhaust stacks, follow the same procedure, but bring the shingles
up to the pipe from both sides and betid the flange over the ridge to lie in both roof
planes, overlapping the roof shingles at all points. Ridge shingles are then
.positioned to cover the flange. Embed the ridge shingles in approved flashing
cement where they overlap the flange.
Chimneys: Chimneys shall be flashed with a two-piece base and cap flashing to allow for
differential movement. Apply shingles up to the front edge of the chimney before
any flashings are installed. Apply a coat of ASTM D 41 asphalt primer if the
chimney is constructed of masonry or metal to seal the surface and to provide good
adhesion to all points where flashing cement will later be applied.
Install 26 rga. corrosion resistant metal, or other approved corrosion resistant
materials'as base flashing between the chimney and the roof deck, on all sides.
Apply the base flashing to the low side of the chimney first. Bend the base flashing
so that.the lower section extends at least 4" over the shingles and the upper section
extends at least 12" up the vertical face of the chimney. Work the flashing firmly
and smoothly into the joint between the shingles and chimney. Set both the roof and
chimney overlaps in approved flashing cement placed over the shingles and on the
chimney face. The flashing may be secured against the chimney with one or two
nails to hold it in place until the cement sets. Use metal step flashing for the sides of

Secure each flashing unit to the masonry with approved flashing cement and to the
deck with approved nails. Embed the end shingles in each course that overlap the
flashing in an 8" bed of approved flashing cement. Place the rear base flashing over
the cricket and the high side of the chimney.
Apply the high side base flashing by bringing the end shingles in each course up to
the cricket and secure in a bed of approved flashing cement. Cap flashings shall be
installed over all base flashings. Set the metal cap flashing into the brickwork or
exterior siding. material. If brick, rake out the mortar joint to a depth of l.'/ inches
and insert the bent edge of the flashing into the cleared joint. Refill the joint with
mortar. Bend the cap flashing down to overlap the base flashing. Use one
continuous piece of cap flashing on the low side of the chimney. On the sides and
high side of the chimney, use several pieces of similar -sized flashing, trimming each
to fit the particular location of brick joint or substrate material. Start the side units at
the lowest point and overlap at least 3 inches. Chimney crickets shall be
waterproofed in compliance with options published by the shingle manufacturer. If
crickets are formed from wood, or other nailable materials a double layer
underlayment shall be applied prior to waterproofing.
Hips and Ridges: Apply premanufactured hip and ridge shingle components or cut hip and ridge
shingles from manufacturer's shingles, where approved. Lay hip and ridge away
from prevailing wind. Insure all fasteners are covered. Exposure shall not exceed
5" unless premanufactured hip and ridge specifically allows for greater exposure.

they overlap the flange. Avoid excessive use of cement as it may cause blistering.
Do not drive fasteners close to the pipe. The lower part of the flange shall overlap
the lower shingles and the side and upper shingles shall overlap the flange.
For ventilator and exhaust stacks, follow the same procedure, but bring the shingles
up to the pipe from both sides and bend the flame over the ridge to lie in both roof
planes, overlapping the roof shingles at all points. Ridge shingles are then
positioned to cover the flange. Embed the ridge shingles in approved flashing
cement where they overlap the flange.
Chimneys: Chimneys shall be flashed with a two-piece base and cap flashing to allow for
differential movement. Apply shingles -up to the front edge of the chimney before
any flashings are installed. Apply a coat of ASTIvI D 41 asphalt primer if the
al to seal tl�e surface and to provide good
chimney is constructed of masonry or met
adhesion to all points where flashing cement will later be applied.
Install 26 ga. corrosion resistant metal, or other approved corrosion resistant
materials, as base flashing between the chimney and the roof deck, on all sides.
Apply the base flashing to the low side of the chimney first. Bend the base flashing
so that the lower section extends at least 4" over the shingles and the upper section
extends at least 121
. up the vertical face of the chimney. Work the flashing firmly
and smoothly into thejoint between the shingles and chimney. Set both the roof and
chimney overlaps in approved flashing cement placed over the shingles and on the
"Chimney race. The flashing may be secured against the chimney with one or two
nails to hold it in place until the cement sets. Use metal step flashing for the sides of
the chimney, positioning the units in the same manner as flashing on a vertical
sidewall. Cut, bend and apply the step flashing around the side of the chimney.
Secure each flashing unit to the masonry with approved flashing cement and to the
deck with approved nails. Embed the end shingles in each course that overlap the
flashing in an 8" bed of approved flashing cement. Place the rear base flashing over
the cricket and the high side of the chimney.

Apply the high side base flashing by bringing the end shingles in each course up to
the cricket and secure in a bed of approved flashing cement. Cap flashings shall be
installed over all base flashings. Set the metal cap flashing into the brickwork or
exterior siding material. If brick, rake out the mortar joint to a depth of I Y: inches
and insert the bent edge of the flashing into the cleared joint. Refill the joint with
mortar. Bend the cap flashing down to overlap the base flashing. Use one
continuous piece of cap flashing on the low side of the chimney. On the sides and
high side of the chimney, use several pieces of similar -sized flashing, trimming each
to fit the particular location of brick joint or substrate material. Start the side units at
the lowest point and overlap at least 3 inches. Chimney crickets shall be
waterproofed in compliance with options published by the shingle manufacturer. If
crickets are formed from wood, or other nailable materials a double layer
underlavment shall be applied prior to waterproofing.
Hips and Ridges: Apply premanufactured hip and ridge shingle components or cut hip and ridge
shingles from manufacturer's shingles, where approved. Lay hip and ridge away
from prevailing wind. Insure all fasteners are covered. Exposure shall not exceed
5" unless premanufactured hip and ridge specifically allows for greater exposure.
Taper the lap portion of each cap shingle slightly so that it is narrower than the
exposed portion.
